Raben Group awarded twice for social responsibility

On May 17, 2016, Raben Group received the Golden Leaf of CSR 2016 awarded by POLITYKA magazine. On May 19, 2016, the company was recognized in the Ranking of Responsible Companies on the 2nd position in the industry ranking and on the 21st in general classification (a move up from the 21st position in 2015). The results of the 10th edition of the ranking were announced during the European Economic Congress in Katowice. "The fifth edition of the CSR Leaves by POLITYKA is a good opportunity to summarize the yearly activities of the company in the area of corporate social responsibility. We are glad that Raben Group is successful not only in this area but, above all, it manages its impact on the environment in a strategic manner and in conjunction with the core business.  Raben Group is differentiated by reliable communication of the undertaken actions and continuous building of the awareness of the company role in the social and economic environment. I hope that the Golden Leaf of CSR will be the impulse to further actions, and in particular to achieve the adopted sustainable development goals (SDGs.) I believe that in future Raben Group will be able to mark its position event more significantly in the development of the closest environment and the Polish economy." – says Rafał Rudzki, Senior Manager in the Team of Sustainability Consulting Central Europe in Deloitte."The Ranking of Responsible Companies allows for comparison of results in individual areas of CSR between companies and sectors, which every year motivates us to work even harder. Verification of the submitted data makes the analysis reliable and the results trustworthy. That is why we are even more satisfied that every year we achieve a better result."  – comments Marta Szymborska, PR and CSR Manager in Raben Group. Deloitte verifies questionnaires submitted by companies in connection with the Ranking of Responsible Companies. "Our role is to test and confirm compliance of the answers provided by companies in the completed and submitted questionnaires with the actual state." – explains Jacek Kuchenbeker, Senior Manager in the Team of Sustainability Consulting Central Europe in Deloitte. "For this year's edition, just like in the previous years, we had modified the questionnaire. This limits the possibility of a comprehensive comparison of this year's answers with the declarations made in the previous editions of the survey. The challenge is even greater since the bar had been set very high. The newly defined questions concerned issues indicating the high ambition of companies in undertaking actions from the area of responsible business. During the verification, the companies had to prove the fact of implementing certain solutions or undertaking certain actions and to demonstrate their innovativeness. What is more, correct and comprehensive completion of the questionnaire required the companies to engage a significant number of personnel from inside the organization." – adds Jacek Kuchenbeker.
