Win the Future

In 2013, we took a number of preventive measures and activities contributing to the development of the

local communities living in the vicinity of LOTOS Group facilities. Many of these are long-term programmes

that have already been in place for several years. As they fit with the areas of our competence, determined in

consultation with our stakeholders, they are indeed likely to improve aspects of life that are important to the

communities' members.

Road safety

The low level of traffic safety has been one of the major social problems in Poland for many years. According

to preliminary reports of the Polish National Police Headquarters, there were around 35,400 road accidents in

2013, in which almost 3,300 people were killed and roughly  43,500 people were injured – as compared to

2012, these numbers have fallen by a few percentage points but they still illustrate a serious danger to

people’s lives and health. It means that despite a gradual improvement of the road safety the situation still

remains very bad as compared to other EU members. The road traffic mortality in Poland (the number of

fatalities per 1 million residents) is almost twice as high as the EU average. In 2013, 28,000 people lost their

lives on EU roads, 13% of which were Polish although Poles make up only 8% of EU residents.

Given the scale of the risk, educational campaigns should be run among the very youngest pupils of primary

schools, as it is at this stage that the right attitudes and behaviour are shaped most effectively.

Grupa LOTOS sees its involvement in the enhancement of road traffic safety as a priority. To this end, we

established ‘Akademia Bezpieczeństwa LOTOS’ (‘LOTOS Safety Academy’) – a programme dedicated chiefly

to educating children and teenagers. Events organized by the LOTOS Safety Academy in 2013 included

another iteration of the ‘LOTOS – Bezpieczna droga do szkoły’ (‘LOTOS – Safe Journey to School’) programme,

the ‘Uwolnić odblaski’ art competition (‘Free Reflectors - to promote reflective clothing and accessories’) and

the ‘W drodze do prawa jazdy’ (‘On the Way to a Driving Licence’) initiative.

1.    ‘LOTOS – Safe Journey to School’ is a social education and accident prevention programme run jointly

with Polish Police and road traffic safety experts, designed to educate and promote safe road behaviour, thus

preventing traffic accidents involving young schoolchildren. The idea behind the programme is to make

children conscious and safety-minded road traffic participants. The programme is addressed to primary-

school first year pupils, and is designed to draw their attention to safe use of roads by both pedestrians and

drivers, including their parents. At the beginning of every school year, the programme offers an opportunity

to participate in classes with police officers and road safety instructors to learn about road traffic safety and

safe places to play. Participants are presented with road safety reflectors and special road safety educational

packages funded by our Company. Major partners in this programme include the Gdańsk Province Police

Headquarters, the Bielsko-Biała City Police Headquarters and the Jasło Motor and Road Rescue Club. The

programme is run in the areas of selected LOTOS Group subsidiaries, including in the Province of Gdańsk and
