2.1. The company should have in place a diversity policy applicable to the management board and the supervisory board, approved by the supervisory board or the general meeting, respectively. The diversity policy defines diversity goals and criteria in areas such as gender, education, expertise, age, and professional experience, and specifies the target dates and the monitoring systems for such goals. With regard to gender diversity of corporate bodies, the participation of the minority group in each body should be at least 30%.
The Company has not adopted a diversity policy for management and supervisory board members in the form of a single document. The Company aims to ensure the versatility and diversity of its bodies, but the specific nature of the industry in which it operates makes it difficult to meet all the required criteria. Due to the location of the Company’s registered office in Podlasie, which is considered to be a melting pot of nationalities, cultures and communities, employees and members of the Company’s bodies come from different backgrounds and cultures, represent different ways of thinking and points of view and have different life and professional experiences. The Company’s policy is that any discrimination in employment, in particular on the grounds of sex, age, disability, race, religion, nationality, political beliefs, trade union membership, ethnic origin, religion, sexual orientation, etc., is unacceptable. With regard to the management and supervisory bodies, the Company explains that the composition of the Management Board and Supervisory Board of the Company is diverse in terms of education, expertise, age and professional experience, but the bodies concerned lack gender diversity in particular. There is currently one woman on the Company’s seven- member Supervisory Board, while the Management Board is composed entirely of men. As the Company recognises the need for and seeks to ensure diversity in the bodies, it will consider adopting a formal policy in this regard in the future.
2.2. 1.1. Decisions to elect members of the management board or the supervisory board of the company should ensure that the composition of those bodies is diverse by appointing persons ensuring diversity, among others in order to achieve the target minimum participation of the minority group of at least 30% according to the goals of the established diversity policy referred to in principle 2.1.
The Company has not developed a diversity policy in the form of a single document, but in the interest of the stability and effectiveness of the Company’s operations, those who make decisions on the appointment of members of the Management Board or the Supervisory Board of the Company in practice seek to ensure that the composition of those bodies is diverse.
2.4. The supervisory board and the management board vote in an open ballot unless otherwise required by law.
The Company’s corporate documents contain provisions on the need to use secret ballot in selected cases. In the Company’s opinion, such a voting method allows free decision-making on personnel matters.
