WE SYMPATHISE WITH UKRAINE

24.02.2023

It has been a year since the brutal Russian invasion on Ukraine on 24 February 2022. Since the first days of the war, sympathising with Ukraine, we have been helping our Ukrainian employees, their families, and Ukrainian emigrants.

In 2022 the volunteering staff of the Capital Group companies were supporting hundreds of people, by way of providing financial and in-kind aid or accommodation. We were also spreading ‘hope’ by ensuring the place of work, or possibility to bring up and educate children far from the atrocities of war.

The support still continues, but we are glad to see that after the difficult beginning our Ukrainian Friends are becoming independent: the earn money, learn Polish, are able to arrange their affairs with authorities or at the doctor, they have the opportunity to take care of their loved ones. At the moment, we are supporting 79 people, out of which 39 work at the Capital Group companies in Poland.

At the same time, with due diligence and applying security measures, we have been running our operations in the Ukrainian companies, which is very important for our Ukrainian staff, obtaining a bit of normality and the feeling that they may build their home country.

The companies of the Capital Group persist in providing humanitarian aid to Ukraine. In Poland, 90 people from Ukraine are under our care, out of which 41 people work at the Group companies. Additionally, the organisation provides humanitarian aid outside of Poland. Currently, we have been preparing for the winter and Christmas season.

From the commencement of the conflict, the Capital Group has assigned nearly PLN 1.5 billion to the aid.

The Capital Group of Grupa Kęty S.A. has been continuously supporting the refugees from Ukraine. Over 200 people are cared for in Poland on a current basis. The support provided covers mainly accommodation issues and handling official affairs. We are glad that as much as 45 people out of that number found work at the companies of the Capital Group.

‘The people have been highly engaged in the tasks entrusted with them, and have been learning Polish. It’s nice to see that every week they are becoming more independent also in the other areas of social life’, say the voluntary employees.

As an organisation, we have continued helping our Ukrainian employees and their families as well as the Ukrainian refugees. Within a month, we have cared directly or indirectly for nearly 400 people, who found their safe harbour in the leased apartments and hotels, were provided with the necessary financial aid, and were given the opportunity to find work, education and bring up their children in normal conditions. At the same time, we have been organising humanitarian aid for those employees who remained in Ukraine.

Currently, the teams of the Group employees engage in providing formal and organisational support, for example in obtaining PESEL personal identification numbers, or filing 500+ child benefit applications.

We have been fantastically supported by our colleagues within the organisation. We wish to thank everyone engaged in the helping process!!! Your help will still be needed very much, because we have been focusing on long-term aiding within our charity activities, particularly for our employees at Alupol LLC and Aluprof Systema Ukraina as well as their families.

Following our declarations, we carry out daily activities related to supporting our employees and providing humanitarian aid to the Ukrainian citizens.  So far, we have cared for 146 people, including 65 children – mainly the families and friends of our employees but also those who are not related to our Capital Group. The process of helping has been gaining pace every day – we are expecting more families whom we assist in getting accommodation. We also organise everything they need in every-day life. Soon, we would also like to organise workplaces at our Group or at other companies in the region. Those of our employees who decided to return to Ukraine were offered aid packages.

We wish to thank all the Polish employees engaged in the process of helping!!!
