Grupa LOTOS S.A. includes in its mission and vision, not only care for the natural environment and the value of human resources, but it positions its business in the wide context of sustainability. Therefore, the company has been actively involved for many years in programmes that are characteristic for mature organizations, by considering in its current operations its impact on the internal and external environment and by maintaining dialogue with stakeholders on its
social and environmental influence.

In 2007, a decision was taken to prepare a comprehensive Strategy of Corporate Social Responsibility of the LOTOS Group until 2012. Including these issues in the long-term Strategy contributes to the better integration of all measures taken within the organization and to even more effective utilization of human and financial resources. The aims of the LOTOS Group’s
CSR Strategy result from its business strategy accepted in 2006, and the core of the tasks adopted in this document is to support the process of implementing key development programmes of the Company.

System of CSR values

The system of key CSR values of the LOTOS Group has been associated with the key values of the LOTOS brand, which are founded on three pillars, i.e. human capital, natural environment and power safety. Each of these values relates to important aspects of the business.

The social, environmental and business dimensions of responsibility at the LOTOS Group are substantiated with the system of values of key importance for the Company’s social policy, namely:

• purity
• openness
• innovation
• responsibility

Each of the above elements of the value system is the organization’s response to the most significant needs, problems and challenges identified in its environment. The value of PURITY is reflected not only in following the highest environmental and ecological standards, but also in the LOTOS Group’s understanding of its business. It is the declaration of ethical and honest
competition, fighting corruption and violations of human rights.

This understanding is supported with OPENNESS to changes, the needs of the world and expectations of people. It offers a prospect that goes beyond here and now, as it focuses on the future and the dynamic development of the business in its international dimension.

The success of these premises depends on the postulate of INNOVATION, i.e. the special appreciation for the intellectual capital of the Company, being the competences of its men and women, whose active involvement in the processes of the organization determines the strength and market success of the LOTOS brand.

These values can enable the LOTOS Group to become the leader in its business environment. However, they also strengthen the need for RESPONSIBILITY towards future generations and the natural environment, towards the country and its safe position in the world.
