People and Communities
A good neighbour and member of society
People are an important area of our sustainability strategy. This includes our employees, tenants and suppliers, the municipalities and regions where we build, and the economic value created there.
We invest in others and provide long-term support to charitable projects and organisations. Our aim is to be a responsible partner and a good neighbour, and to make the regions where we operate a better place to live.

annual community contribution model fully in place
A park is a workplace for hundreds of people and a neighbour to the whole district. That is why we care about who works in it, who lives around it and who we work with in it.
Our people
We want to be a safe, healthy and open workplace where people have room to grow. We place emphasis on equal opportunities and gender balance. We address safety and wellbeing on construction sites and in offices, not just in policies.

Tenants and business partners
Our parks work thanks to the companies and people who work in them. That is why we build on shared rules with tenants and suppliers: in lease agreements, in the fit-out of premises and in the selection of suppliers.

Economic value and fair work
Our parks create jobs with tenants, in construction and in the services around them. A third of them are created where industry once stood and has since fallen into disrepair, not on open countryside.
Fair working conditions do not end with our own employees. We expect them from suppliers too, and when awarding work we give preference to local companies, provided they stand up on quality and price. Money spent on construction and on running the park thus stays in the region where the park stands.

A park does not end at the fence. We pay attention to what happens beyond it, in the municipality, in public space and in the long-term partnerships we build there.
Communities in our regions
A park is built in a municipality that was there before it. That is why we engage with local authorities from the very start of a project and support civic amenities and local development.
We are working towards a fully established model of an annual contribution to communities so that support is not ad hoc. This includes employee volunteering days and open communication with neighbours about both the benefits and the burdens of the park.

Accolade Industrial Art
A positive approach to art in an industrial park is Accolade’s idea, through which we express shared values and a responsible approach to the world around us by means of social dialogue. We involve both talented artists and park tenants in the activity.
So far, murals have been created in nine parks, five in Poland and four in the Czech Republic.
