Partnerships

The goal of the Partnership for the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is to integrate representatives of various environments in cooperation for the effective achievement of the sustainable development goals (SDGs). The initiative increases the awareness of increasingly larger groups of recipients about the sustainable development goals adopted by the international community, their importance for individual social groups and the need for cooperation in their effective implementation.

PZU as a partner of the program sets an example of active involvement and responsible implementation of the principles of sustainable development within the organization, constituting a valuable source of inspiration for others.

PZU joined the "Agreement for the development of offshore wind energy in Poland" and the "Sectoral Agreement for the development of the hydrogen economy".

The Sectoral Agreement for Offshore Wind Energy is a platform for cross-sectoral cooperation for the economic development of Poland, increasing the competitiveness of Polish entrepreneurs, developing initiatives guaranteeing Poland's economic and energy security based on low- and zero-emission energy sources.

The Sectoral Agreement for the Development of the Hydrogen Economy is a key implementing instrument of the Polish Hydrogen Strategy until 2030 with a perspective until 2040, which is based on:

1. creating a value chain for low-emission hydrogen technologies;
2. strengthening the role of hydrogen in building Polish energy security;
3. implementing hydrogen as a transport fuel;
4. preparing new regulations for the hydrogen market.

The United Nations Global Compact is the world's largest initiative supporting business in accordance with the principles of sustainable development.

In May 2022, PZU joined and committed to implementing the 10 UNGC Principles in the areas of: human rights, environment, labor and anti-corruption. The declaration was submitted in the form of a letter addressed by the President of PZU SA to the UN Secretary General and includes the commitment to submit an annual report, the so-called Communication on Progress (COP) for business members. PZU also joined the Climate Positive initiative coordinated by the UN Global Compact Network Poland.

Program focuses on implementing environmental sustainable development goals and is a response to the need to build a friendly climate in Poland and the best possible conditions for achieving these goals.

PZU has joined the community of business leaders who understand the need to reduce the environmental impact and see this as an opportunity for development. As part of the program, participants work with independent experts and external institutions to achieve climate goals and then implement solutions that reduce their impact on the climate.

This is a global partnership established between the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the financial sector FI (insurance, banking, investment).

By joining this initiative, the PZU Group has become one of over 350 institutions that consciously make business decisions to contribute to a positive impact on people's lives and the quality of the natural environment.

The mission of the Responsible Business Forum (FOB) in Poland is to work for sustainable development, inspire business that changes the world, and connect people who change business.

As part of the Partnership Program, FOB creates a community of socially engaged companies while also being a platform for the exchange of knowledge and business experiences.

Chapter Zero Poland is the Polish version of the international Climate Governance initiative established by the World Economic Forum, created to raise awareness of the consequences of climate change for business and the impact of business on the climate. Over 60 companies - leaders of sustainable development in Poland - participate in the Program.

PZU's involvement in the program allows gaining knowledge, networking and sharing good practices in the area of sustainable development.
