Best practice
Non-financial report | Continuation
In March 2020 we published the third “Report of Cyfrowy Polsat S.A. Capital Group and Cyfrowy Polsat S.A. on non-financial information for 2019”:
- the report contains 67 GRI indicators (numerical and descriptive) which are used to discuss the basic information, profile information and our approach to management as well as the detailed thematic indicators from the ESG area – Economic, Environmental and Social;
- it also presents 25 best practice efforts, reflecting the SDG’s, 19 of which are continued from the preceding year while 6 are totally new projects.
Our CSR best practices concern above all activities addressed to employees, customers and the society. By accounting for the role that the business has (and that we have) in the implementation of UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s), a selected goal(s) from the list of 17 SDG’s is assigned to very best practice.
