The headquarters of Unibep S.A. is located in Bielsk Podlaski, a small town in the Podlaskie Voivodeship. Cultural and religious diversity is a value here, not a drawback. Every newly recruited employee of the company signs a statement that they have read the information on equal treatment in employment. Any discrimination in employment, whether direct or indirect, in particular on grounds of sex, age, disability, race, religion, nationality, political beliefs, trade union membership, ethnic origin, belief, sexual orientation, being employed on a fixed-term contract or a permanent contract, or on a full-time or part-time basis, is unacceptable.
The Company has not developed a uniform diversity policy document. Nevertheless, certain rules of conduct have been developed over the years in this respect, contained in the Unibep Group Code of Conduct. It is compulsory for every new employee of the company to review the Code.
The location of the company’s headquarters in Podlasie, which is considered to be a melting pot of nationalities, cultures and societies, means that the employees and members of the company’s supervisory bodies are people from different backgrounds and cultures, representing different ways of thinking and points of view and having different life and professional experiences. There are age differences among the employees and members of the company’s supervisory bodies.
In addition to employees between the ages of thirty and fifty, who make up the largest age group, the company also employs people over fifty and under thirty. Both women and men work in various positions.
The Unibep Group seeks to skilfully exploit diversity in the labour market, believing that actions promoting diversity build a creative, cooperative and complementary team.
The Group places great emphasis on the policy of equal treatment and diversity management, especially in the area of recruiting, evaluating of performance, training, promoting, and remunerating. The activities carried out in the area of diversity include, among others, inclusion of its principles in internal documents, such as organisational culture or the Corporate Collective Labour Agreement. An important part of adhering to the diversity principles is creating the right atmosphere at work so that employees feel valued and respected, and believe that they can develop and fully realise their professional potential.
The company’s management and supervisory bodies are staffed by people of different ages, educational backgrounds and professional experience. As regards management and supervisory bodies, the company declares that the composition of the Management Board and Supervisory Board of the Company is diversified, in terms of education, age, and professional experience. The construction industry is a specific industry and in selecting management staff, the company is guided primarily by objective criteria, including the competencies necessary to properly perform management functions, knowledge, experience or characteristics desirable in the construction industry and in individual areas of management, in accordance with the specific nature of the positions of the individual members of the Company’s Management Board. Women account for 14.3% of members of the Supervisory Board. There is no gender diversity on the Company’s Management Board.
To structure the practices followed, the Unibep Group Code of Conduct was established in March 2020.
The document is a set of the most desirable behaviours of employees towards customers, external partners and associates. The Code sets out basic principles for dealing with corruption, workplace bullying and general business cooperation.
No cases of discrimination were recorded in the Unibep Group in 2021.
