After negotiations that began in early July, the Management Board of Grupa Azoty Puławy has signed an agreement with workplace trade unions to suspend selected cost-intensive provisions of the Collective Labor Agreement (ZUZP). Similar agreements were concluded earlier this year with Grupa Azoty S.A., Grupa Azoty Police, and Grupa Azoty Kędzierzyn in late August. As a result, cost-intensive provisions of the ZUZP have now been suspended in the four key companies of the Grupa Azoty Capital Group, in line with the corrective measures outlined by the Management Board of Grupa Azoty.
Grupa Azoty Police has filed a criminal complaint with the Szczecin Regional Prosecutor’s Office concerning the circumstances surrounding its 2018 decision to withdraw from an investment in Senegal. The complaint alleges potential misconduct involving the unjustified and inappropriate transfer of registered shares in African Investment Group SA, valued at 6.6 million FCFA, to DGG Eco sp. z o.o. in 2018. In return, Grupa Azoty Police did not receive the agreed payment of PLN 180 million specified in the agreement with DGG Eco sp. z o.o., resulting in damages estimated at no less than PLN 180 million.

This initiative is a key element of the restructuring process aimed at achieving significant cost optimizations.
