Co-operation with local authorities

One of the main objectives of the Corporate Social Responsibility Strategy of ENEA Capital Group is to develop a dialogue with stakeholders, including local communities, and taking into account their voice in the business operations. Long-term and based on mutual trust relationships with the citizens of areas where the companies of the Capital Group operate are built through the activities for the sake of local communities. 

Development of local communities is also affected by long-term investments made by individual companies. For example ENEA Wytwarzanie has begun construction of a new power block no. 11 with a capacity of 1075 MW in 2012. It is the largest energy investment in Poland crucial for the country's energy security. Its construction will take approximately five years and shall increase the power capacity by as much as 30%. Construction of the new unit is an opportunity for economic development of the region. Nearly 2,500 people will work during the construction and nearly 300 shall be employed permanently.

Co-operation n with the Foundation for Talents Development

The Foundation for Talents Development supported by ENEA S.A. organized workshop to develop social skills directed to high school students, entitled :"The future is in your hands."

500 hundred students from Mosina district, Secondary School in Tarnów Podgórny and International School of Poznań took part in individual and group classes. Young people learnt, among others, methods of work organization and communication techniques. 

These same students participated in the second part of workshops in September during which their individual predispositions were diagnosed. Secondary school students got to know methods supporting learning process and the most important factors influencing the choice of their future education.

Purpose of the "Future is in your hands" Program is a diagnosis of predispositions and development of pupils. When knowing their 'talents' students make better, more conscious education decisions, and through workshops develop skills needed in the labour market.  Involvement of such companies like ENEA S.A. in social programs enable us to provide students with the knowledge and skills which are necessary in adult life, both personal and professional.

"Five senses. PAUSE" Program

ENEA S.A. is involved in activities to counteract social exclusion due to disability. The Company has supported educational and cultural project "Five senses. PAUSE" in September 2012. It was organized by the Educational Association MCA and More Than One Production agency. The aim of the project was to activate the environment of the deaf and hearing impaired to actively participate in cultural life.

The program consisted of theoretical and practical music workshops led by musicians, musicologists and specialists in sign language. Workshops were held, among others, by Amadeus Chamber Orchestra of Polish Radio conducted by Agnieszka Duczmal. During workshops deaf people prepared a song that will be presented on 14 November 2012, during the final concert.

"Five senses. Pause" allowed deaf people to participate in educational and cultural events, to which they did not have access previously. Its uniqueness is to provide our participants with certain areas of cultural life, which had previously been entirely excluded. The project was a trip into the unknown for the deaf and its effect was to arise interest in music and organise similar events not only in Poznań, but nationwide.
