Relations are one of the most important assets of each organisation.At the Grupa Kęty S.A. Capital Group we apply utmost effort to establish dialogue within the company and outside of it. Our business relations are based on the values set forth in the Code of Ethics. The several-thousand group of defined stakeholders obliges us to apply due diligence within relational capital.
The nature of the Grupa Kęty S.A. Capital Group described in the business model emphasises the importance of a broadly understood dialogue in the strategic and operating activities. The dialogue is simply the day-to-day life of the organisation – everyday work, business and team-building meetings, telephone calls. Our business plans, the development plans of our organisation and our impact on local communities and environment are confronted with the stakeholders’ expectations. Stakeholders set out the development directions of our organisation, in the first place. This happens by changes in legal requirements, the needs of new employee generations, or challenges posed by the care for climate issues. Processes are continuously adjusted to the challenges the business faces in the 21st century. We strive for introducing climate-friendly solutions, caring for the business culture and strongly emphasising human rights in the contemporary world.
The Grupa Kęty S.A. Capital Group maintains high standards of communication. For years now, the Company has been perceived by market participants as a recognised brand and a credible partner. The Company social activities are reported on external portals such as www.grupakety.com/odpowiedzialny_biznes; www.dziecipodbeskidzia.pl; and on the Facebook page of the ‘Grupa Kęty for the Children of the Podbeskidzie Region’ Foundation.
New information channels were prepared in response to the stakeholders’ needs: a Facebook account, a Linkedin account and a dedicated Youtube channel. Meetings, the Intranet, newsletter and notice boards are used in current contacts with the employees.
The Company actively supports and engages in local initiatives together with other companies and the local community, creating the future of the region. Each year, the reporting process is consulted on an ongoing basis with the selected groups of stakeholders (including employees and representatives of local communities).
