ORLEN has rejoined the UN Global Compact, the world’s largest initiative uniting businesses committed to sustainable development under the auspices of the United Nations.

Becoming part of the UN Global Compact sends a clear message to investors and partners. It enhances public perception and strengthens market credibility, as the pledge to uphold the UN Global Compact’s principles plays an increasingly significant role in ESG assessments by stakeholders.

‘ORLEN first joined the organisation in 2003, just three years after its founding by the United Nations. However, five years ago, the Company withdrew for reasons that remain unclear and difficult to understand. Rejoining was a natural step in strengthening the ORLEN Group’s international standing. Implementing the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact, which cover human rights, environmental responsibility, and corporate governance, aligns perfectly with our organisation’s philosophy and reflects our openness to continuous improvement. It also gives us the opportunity to promote these values among our employees by providing access to specialised resources and tools offered by the UN Global Compact Academy,’ said Ireneusz Fąfara, President of the ORLEN Management Board.
