About program
“Kompania of Volunteers” is a corporate volunteering programme that was created thanks to and for volunteers who care about their local communities. For years, our employees have been actively supporting institutions and non-governmental organisations, and they do so with energy, openness, and, above all, out of the goodness of their hearts. They share their time, skills, and knowledge, while Kompania Piwowarska allows them to engage in social activities also at work, providing financial and organisational support.
Who we help
The support we provide within the Kompania of Volunteers programme is in line with our sustainable development strategy “Bet on Beer” and aimed at adults only.
The support we provide within the Kompania of Volunteers programme is in line with our sustainable development strategy “Bet on Beer” and aimed at adults only. Since 2016, we have been proudly supporting the WIOSNA Association within the Noble Box programme. Kompania Piwowarska co-funds preparation of the packages and helps deliver them to warehouses and families in need. The first edition of the programme has engaged nearly 75% of our employees. The Noble Box turned out to be the greatest volunteering programme in the history of our company, and we keep pushing it forward every year.
Tyskie Cup
Tyskie Cup is an annual charity football tournament for the employees of Kompania Piwowarska. The winners can dedicate their performance to chosen aid agencies from their regions. In 2017, for the first time ever, the matches took place at the PGE National Stadium in Warsaw – previously, the tournament was organized in smaller venues across different cities, including Poznan and Tychy.
The teams compete for a few hours in groups to then advance to the knockout stage, but, in fact, there are no losers in the tournament – even the eliminated teams receive commemorative trophies and diplomas. Besides the final result, what matters most is the fun atmosphere and opportunity to help others. Each team can dedicate their performance to a specific social organization that, in case of a win, will get a donation from Kompania Piwowarska.
Bet on Exercise
Bet on Exercise is a programme that we have been executing for a few years now to promote physical activity among Kompania Piwowarska’s employees and business partners, including running, walking, cycling and other popular forms of exercise. The participants are being encouraged to healthy sports competition and teamwork, while pursuing a charity goal and taking part in special challenges and organized sports events under the patronage of Lech Free.
Bet on Exercise combines entertainment and promotion of a healthy, eco-friendly lifestyle, while simultaneously supporting a charity goal. The participants register the distance they have managed to cover with the use of a sports activity app on their smart phones or GPS watches, and every kilometre brings them closer to achieving a mutual goal.
As a result of the campaign, our employees have planted 3,000 trees in the Knyszyn Forest. Thanks to their involvement, KP has already provided financial support to three tandem clubs for the blind from Poznan, Tychy and Bialystok. This year, after reaching the ambitious goal of 300,000 km, KP will cover the cost of a prosthesis for one of the patients of the Poland Business Run foundation.
