A ceremony was held in the auditorium of the Central Sports Centre in Zakopane to sum up the National Cross-Country Skiing Development Programme, of which Grupa Azoty is the Main Partner. This season, it was for the fourth time that the Programme participants competed in the Azoty Group Cup. Awards to the winners in three age categories were presented by Marek Wadowski, Vice President of the Management Board of Grupa Azoty S.A.

The Grupa Azoty Group has become a partner of another season of Agrorewolucje, a hugely popular online programme about agriculture. The programme will be hosted by leading Polish YouTubers specialising in the Agro content. All farmers need to do to take part in the casting for its 3rd edition is to complete a questionnaire and shoot a short film about their farms. Entries for Agrorewolucje will be accepted until June 12th 2022.

In the first quarter of 2022, Grupa Azoty faced high and volatile prices of feedstocks, mainly natural gas, phosphate rock, potassium chloride, benzene, phenol, and propylene. Despite the challenging market landscape and feedstock pressure, Grupa Azoty delivered solid financial results by maintaining fertilizer production at levels reflecting maximum available capacity throughout the first quarter of 2022, which also enabled it to fully meet domestic demand.

The meeting participants discussed potential cooperation in precision farming. The purpose of the meeting was to identify areas where Grupa Azoty could supply products and services to support the transformation of Peruvian agriculture. In parallel with talks on precision farming projects, Grupa Azoty is expanding its sales operations in Peru, with a branch of COMPO EXPERT, a Grupa Azoty Group company, soon to open in the country.

Grupa Azoty Group took the top spot in the Forbes “Poland’s Best Employers 2022” ranking in the “oil and gas production, mining, chemical industry” category, having moved up one place compared with the previous year’s ranking. The Group took the 17th place overall. In the survey based on which the distinction was awarded, respondents rated their employers based on such criteria as salaries and wages, working hours, growth and promotion opportunities, conditions and equipment for working from the office and home, etc.

Further to the news of a sudden halt in Russian gas supplies to Poland, Grupa Azoty announces that the Group companies receive natural gas under a contract with Polskie Górnictwo Naftowe i Gazownictwo S.A. Poland has technical capabilities to source gas from various directions, e.g. through system interconnectors on its western and southern borders and via the LNG terminal in Świnoujście. The mix is supplemented by domestically produced gas and volumes withdrawn from gas storage facilities, where Poland has accumulated substantial stocks.
