Corporate Social Responsibility

In the interest of people and the environment

CHEP Polska is a socially responsible company. This means that we are aware of the impact we have on local communities and the natural environment and want to make the world a better place. We are involved in initiatives that are focused on education, sustainable development, the environment and on improving life for the people around us.

These are values that are very important to CHEP. CHEP employees are guaranteed three days’ paid leave annually, which they can use to get involved in a social project of their choice. Our employees support various initiatives that are united by one thing: a desire to help.

Who do we help?

Children’s Home in Białowieża

The Białowieża Children’s Home was first opened 70 years ago, serving as a place for foster children to call home. CHEP Polska has been supporting the children there for almost ten years now, financing courses, extracurricular activities, organising charity auctions, gathering presents or retrofitting and renovating the historic building in which the facility is located.

The Łódź House Foundation

The Łódź House Foundation was established in 2007 and remains the only dedicated facility in Poland for children who are seriously ill, orphaned for abandoned by their biological parents. It guarantees security and education for the very youngest who are suffering from chronic conditions and enables them to develop properly in a warm and welcoming family community. Through their activities, CHEP employees help to raise funds which are used to support the rehabilitation of these young people, purchase medicines and provide leisure activities for the children. They also join in with repair work and organise an annual charity auction for the benefit of the young residents of the House.

The Niekłańska Children's Hospital in Warsaw

The Professor J Bogdanowicz Children’s Hospital, which bears the name of Dr Jan Bogdanowicz in Niekłańska Street was the first children’s hospital constructed in Warsaw after the Second World War. 24 hours a day, seven days a week, it provides children with help, diagnoses and specialised treatment. CHEP Polska employees regularly organise events that help finance the purchase of much-needed equipment. They want to bring happiness to the young patients too and in December 2017 the visited them with sackfuls of presents.

The Sue Ryder Care Home

The branch of the Sue Ryder Care Home at Mehoffer Street, in Warsaw, is a facility that offers long-term care to adults who require treatment, rehabilitation and 24-hour care. CHEP employees visit the residents of the Sue Ryder Home several times a year. It’s now an annual tradition to sing carols together at Christmas which brings joy to both visitors and patients alike.

Food Bank

The Polish Food Banks Federation is a Public Benefit Organisation that brings together 32 food banks throughout the country. The purpose of the food banks is to save food before it is wasted and support people in need with the products collected. CHEP Polska regularly supports the activities of these facilities in many areas: a professional team conducted an audit that optimised operations in their warehouses, while groups of volunteers have helped draw up documentation and assisted in receiving, unloading and reloading shipments. Each meeting is an experience that illustrates the difficult and important work the people connected with the food banks do.
