Budimex awarded with CSR Gold Leaf by Polityka

Budimex was awarded a CSR Gold Leaf (Złoty Listek CSR Polityki), the highest distinction in this ranking from Polityka. It is the most prestigious and valuable CSR award in the market. This year, only fourteen companies were awarded, including PKN Orlen, Santander, Millenium, Polpharma, Tauron Polska and Energia SA.

“Responsibility and commitment are a natural part of our market philosophy. As a general contractor, we meet deadlines and fulfil obligations towards our investors. We run large and long-term social programmes: Parent Zone and Hello ICE. Over half a million children have benefited from them so far,” says Cezary Mączka, a Member of the Management Board of Budimex SA, responsible for CSR activities.

The Polityka weekly, Deloitte consulting company and the Responsible Business Forum prepare an annual ranking of CSR Gold, Silver and White Leaves.

The CSR Gold Leaf is for those companies which regard the implementation of the guidelines included in ISO 26000 as an essential element of their strategic activities in business and in relationships with stakeholders, including employees. Such companies base their activities on the best local and global managing practices and apply international standards. Moreover, an important element of managing their ESG factors is a comprehensive ethics management system, as well as a written and publicly available document which defines the principles of business conduct and the highest standards of staff management. “We regularly inform the public about the results of our actions by publishing integrated reports based on international standards, which are externally and independently verified,” adds Cezary Mączka.

This year, Budimex was also awarded the title of Well-Perceived Company (Firma Dobrze Widziana). In comparison to last year, we moved up 12 places in the Most Responsible Companies Ranking published by Dziennik Gazeta Prawna, giving us 6th place in the overall ranking.
