On December 14, the Poznań-based Volunteers of the Year were determined. The goal of the initiative is to promote volunteering and award people and organizations involved in voluntary work for the city of Poznań and its residents. This year marked the 18th edition of the competition.
The awards and distinctions in five categories – teenagers (up to 19 years of age), individuals, 50+, teamwork and corporate volunteering – were handed over to the winners in the Hall of Earth within the Poznań International Fair. Kompania Piwowarska received a distinction for its corporate volunteering in 2016, and this year it won the main prize in the same category.
– It’s a great award for all the amazing volunteers from Kompania Piwowarska, who worked as a team to execute various aid projects, with passion and openness. One of the greatest projects was the Noble Box, which for the second year in a row allowed us to break our own record and engaged nearly 1,400 employees – says Katarzyna Radecka, Sustainable Development Manager at Kompania Piwowarska. – It makes us really happy and motivates to complete further tasks.
On December 8, the Łochów Palace and Manor hosted the 3rd Responsible Business Awards gala. KP was nominated in two categories – Employee Engagement Leader and CSR Strategy of the Year, and became the winner of the latter.
