Summary of the 8th edition of Bet on Move – Kompania Piwowarska’s health-promoting program

Out of 510 thousand kilometres covered in 2021 within the framework of different sports challenges by nearly 700 employees of Kompania Piwowarska, 350 thousand kilometres have been exchanged into real support for the charge of the Poland Business Run Foundation. Besides training sessions promoted by Robert Korzeniowski, the participants’ greatest motivation was exactly this charity goal. 

Last year’s edition of Bet on Move was the eight in the history of the program, the goal of which is to promote physical activity among employees and contribute to the execution of Kompania Piwowarska’s sustainability agenda. Since 2014, the participating employees have covered nearly 2.3 million kilometres in total, thus using their physical activity to support people with motor disabilities – the charges of the Poland Business Run Foundation, Wielkopolski Klub Kultury Fizycznej, Sportu i Turystyki Niewidomych i Słabowidzących RAZEM in Poznań, Klub DUET operating next to the BRAJLÓWKA Foundation and Pro Sanus Association (Klub Turystyki Rowerowej „Eskapada”) in Białystok.

Over the 8th edition of the program, the volunteers from Kompania Piwowarska had been motivated to cover thousands of kilometres on their bikes, scooters, rollerblades or skis, and by paddling, running or walking by the Olympic champion, Robert Korzeniowski, who eagerly shred his sports experience and knowledge.

– Every year, we set the bar a little bit higher when it comes to achieving our goal by covering kilometres, because the Bet on Move program mobilizes people to exercise, helps overcome weaknesses, and at the same time can change the life of people with motor disabilities. In this edition, we supported Marcin, who lost his leg in a transportation accident – we used 350 thousand kilometres covered within the program to purchase a prosthesis for him. Marcin is the director of a football academy in the Małopolskie Voivodeship, so our support will help him regain mobility, return to work and pursue his passion – commented Małgorzata Walędzińska-Półtorak, Sustainable Development Program Manager at Kompania Piwowarska.

Bet on Move is one of the many charity programs executed by the leader of the beer industry in Poland. The company also supports other initiatives and organizations helping people and our planet, including Fundacja Centrum Praw Kobiet in Gdańsk, My dla Innych Association, Nasza Ziemia Foundation, Dom w Łodzi Foundation, Agrafka (tailor and craftwork shop). Furthermore, numerous employees get involved in the Noble Gift initiative organized by the WIOSNA Foundation, which constitutes the biggest corporate volunteering project at Kompania Piwowarska.
