Helping others brings us immense joy and satisfaction. We feel responsible for the communities in which we operate – which is why we regularly engage in social, educational, charitable and environmental initiatives.
Health
Health is of great importance to us all. We are committed to supporting people and organisations that help others every day. We maintain long-term partnerships with, among others, the Stefan Żeromski Specialist Hospital in Kraków, the Shelter for Persons with Disabilities – the Social Welfare Home of the Brother Albert Foundation in Radwanowice, and the Kraków Council for Persons with Disabilities.
We also support local emergency services. We funded a fully equipped fire engine for the Morawica Volunteer Fire Brigade and provided the Brodła Volunteer Fire Brigade with a defibrillator. Participating in the annual finales of the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity (WOŚP) has also become one of our traditions.
We recognise the important role of physical activity in maintaining good health. We provide financial, organisational and promotional support for sporting competitions, including triathlon events. We also support the “Świt” Municipal Sports Club in Krzeszowice and the SPORTWISE Sports Club Association.

Education
Education and the development of young people are very important to us. We regularly support the Captain Pilot Mieczysław Medwecki Primary School in Morawica. Among other initiatives, we have provided pupils with laptops and funded shade structures for the school playground. We also invite them to our annual family picnics.
Our production facilities are open to people of all ages who would like to learn more about food manufacturing. We welcome preschool children, who discover in an accessible and engaging way how food products are made, as well as students from food technology secondary schools and the University of Agriculture in Kraków. Older visitors have the opportunity to see first-hand what modern food production and work in the food industry look like.
We also support people preparing to return to active social and professional life. We offer employment opportunities to inmates from Trzebinia Prison, enabling them to gain experience and develop vocational skills.

Environment
We make every effort to minimise the environmental impact of our operations. We monitor our energy and water consumption, emissions and the amount of waste we generate. We continuously optimise our production processes and use modern, energy-efficient production lines that help reduce raw material losses.
We package our products in a way that preserves their freshness for as long as possible. Among the solutions we use is modified atmosphere packaging (MAP), which extends product shelf life without the need for preservatives and helps reduce food waste. We donate unsold products that are still wholesome and fit for consumption to Food Banks and local care homes.
We are also continuously developing more sustainable packaging solutions. We reduce the amount of plastic used and the overall weight of our packaging, while eliminating unnecessary finishing processes. We use SPQ printing technology, which reduces the consumption of inks, solvents and energy, as well as the amount of waste generated during packaging production.
A two-stage waste segregation system is in place at our production facilities. In the first stage, waste is separated directly on the production lines. It is then transferred to the waste management area, where it is further sorted and prepared for collection by specialised contractors for recovery, including recycling. We also use waste baling to reduce its volume and facilitate transport. As part of the Tork PaperCircle service, used paper towels are recycled and used to manufacture new products.
We invest in solutions that improve energy efficiency. Photovoltaic panels are installed on the roofs of both our production facilities. In Morawica, we are also developing a cogeneration system that enables the simultaneous production of heat and electricity within a single technological process.
We are also modernising our vehicle fleet by introducing vehicles that meet higher exhaust emission standards and training our employees in economical and environmentally responsible driving.
We also take measures to reduce emissions, noise and unpleasant odours. Our facility in Wieliczka is equipped with a modern system that reduces odours generated during frying. We also operate a wastewater pre-treatment plant, regularly monitor wastewater quality and carefully select the cleaning and disinfection agents we use.

Animal welfare
In 2019, we began working with the Open Cages Association. As a result of this cooperation, we stopped using eggs from caged hens. We are proud that our products are made exclusively with eggs from barn systems.
We develop and continuously improve internal procedures that help us assess whether suppliers of animal-derived products comply with appropriate animal welfare standards. We aim to work with responsible partners who share our approach and maintain high standards throughout the entire supply chain.
