CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
KMC-Services sp. z o.o.
For us, responsibility is
a key value
We believe that every company should pursue its business objectives in a responsible manner, and while drawing from the environment should pay back its debts. We implement this philosophy by taking care of the natural environment, the local community and the business surroundings.
We implement our CSR program
based on 4 planes:
Pro-ecological activities
Care for the environment by reducing CO2 emissions, recycling waste and educating employees.
Pro-social activities
Activity in initiatives that support people and animals.
Pro-employee activities
Care for working conditions and development of specialists.
Pro-business activities
Support for local businesses, including small businesses, through preferences in purchasing their goods and services.

Pro-ecological activities
For us, caring for the environment is a constant attitude and not an incidental activity.
This is reflected in a number of activities that we carry out on a daily basis:
- Our warehouses have energy-saving LED lighting. This reduces CO2 emissions to the atmosphere by 38.5 tons each month
- We choose our vehicle fleet based on low CO2 emissions in accordance with Euro 5 and Euro 6 standards, minimising the negative impact of transport on the environment
- The scope of offered warehouse services includes the management of returnable packaging, which significantly extends the period
in which they are used and delaying their recycling. - In all branches of our company, we conduct a consistent recycling campaign. Every employee understands its importance and participates in it.
- We educate employees in the field of environmental care, and we conduct training courses in Eco Driving for drivers.
Thanks to this, our team members understand the importance of proper care for the environment.
- We have introduced the digitisation of documentation – thanks to this, we use significantly less paper in the course of our work.
- We are a partner of various campaigns supporting the environment – in 2017 we were the exclusive logistics partner of the ‘Stop Waste Culture’ campaign, as part of which we delivered recycled paper-based books to 314 county-level libraries in Poland and collected over 4 tons of waste paper.. Meanwhile, in 2018 we took on the role of sponsor of the Dog Run, where a significant part of the collected funds supported the activities ofhe Kraków Society for Animal Care and the La Fauna Foundation..
