Our activities

Reduction in electricity consumption

To increase the share of energy from renewable sources, we have installed photovoltaic panels in our offices.

Reducing plastic consumption

Every day, we make sure to reduce our plastic consumption. We don't buy water in plastic bottles and we try to expand our efforts by choosing products made from recycled and biodegradable materials.

Reducing paper consumption

By implementing electronic document circulation, we reduce paper consumption. We settle accounts with our contractors on the basis of e-invoices, scans of transport documents, and electronically signed contracts.

Waste sorting

We pay attention to waste sorting in all our offices. This is important to us from the perspective of protecting the environment and natural resources, as well as reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

EcoVadis

Proof of our efforts in the field of sustainable development is the EcoVadis certificate we have obtained. It is awarded by the largest provider of ratings with a global network of over 65,000 verified companies. We are proud to have been awarded a bronze medal and certificate by this institution.

Safety On the road

Due to the fact that a large part of our business is related to road transport, we undertake educational activities related to road safety. For several years, we have organized a family educational picnic — Safe Route — aimed at drawing the attention of the youngest road users and their guardians to how to safely use roads, bike paths, and sidewalks. In 2017, we were named the institution of the year for road safety activities.

Education of carriers

Since its inception, PKS Gdańsk – Oliwa SA has attached great importance to cooperation with carriers. As a company with almost 60 years of experience, we support our partner carriers by providing free advice on financial and legal matters. We care about our carriers, we approach their needs individually and we always strive to establish long-term cooperation.

Professional driver school

We know how important and valuable it is for drivers to gain experience. PKS Gdańsk – Oliwa SA accepts both professional drivers and those who have just passed their exams. We employ young truckers at the Professional Driver School, where they can drive alongside an experienced colleague right from the start of their career, working in a so-called double crew.

Corporate Social Responsibility

It is an important element of both our mission and vision. We inspire our employees to take action for the benefit of the local community – one result of this is the regular “Share a fiver” campaign, in which all members of the nominated team donate a certain amount of money each month to a cause of their choice.

The list of beneficiaries includes organizations working with people with disabilities, those struggling with cancer, as well as shelters for homeless animals. We conduct educational campaigns online to raise awareness of road safety and preventive healthcare. Our organization is committed to promoting a healthy and active lifestyle. Our employees can pursue their sporting passions as part of the PKS Team – the company provides financial support for individual events. The openness and values on which the organization is based mean that our employees volunteer at shelters for people experiencing homelessness, hospices, the Ukraine Support Center, and animal shelters.

Appreciating and promoting such attitudes encourages employees to initiate grassroots aid activities. In 2020, we were awarded a bronze medal and EcoVadis certificate for our level of corporate social responsibility. EcoVadis, as the only provider of universal sustainability ratings, verified our pro-environmental development results in four thematic areas: environment, employment, fair business practices, and supply chain.
