Since 2010 PGNiG has been the Polish Handball Team’s Strategic Sponsor. For five years running, PGNiG has provided its support to Poland’s men’s and women’s handball teams, both senior and junior, in addition to being the titular sponsor of the Handball Super League and the Polish Cup in Men’s and Women’s Handball. We are convinced that our commitment fosters the growth of this wonderful sport and contributes to promoting healthy lifestyle choices.

As a socially responsible business, PGNiG is actively involved in a number of handball-related initiatives. In 2014 the PGNiG Ignacy Łukasiewicz Foundation launched the PGNiG Little Champions Academy. The aim of the project is to make sports accessible to the widest possible group of school children, sparking their interest in handball. The project’s training sessions are run by qualified coaches under an innovative training regimen based on the best Danish and German models.

For the past two years PGNiG has also helped organise the qualifying rounds for the Polish Beach Handball Championships. This spectacular sport is becoming increasingly popular among Polish audiences and recreational athletes. In 2017 beach handball will be one of the events during the 2017 Wrocław World Games.

PGNiG is also a generous supporter of a range of artistic and cultural events, either nationwide or of local community interest. The Company is a patron of the Polonia Theatre, Och Theatre, the Old Theatre of Lublin and the 6th Floor Theatre.

In addition, we are deeply committed to education, especially of young people, as such initiatives contribute to developing qualified workforce for many branches of industry, including petroleum production and power generation. PGNiG takes active part in congresses, conferences, symposia and other academic events fostering transfer of knowledge. We work with higher education institutions, such as the AGH University of Science and Technology in Kraków, the Warsaw University of Technology and the University of Gdańsk.

We seek to combine business with social outreach in an effort to best meet our customers’ expectations and fulfil the needs of our social environment.

In 2014 the PGNiG Management Board adopted a new PGNiG Group Sponsorship Strategy for 2015-2016, and the Sponsorship Management Policy, which provide a consistent framework for all sponsorship activities of the PGNiG Group.
