Poczta Polska planted 462 trees, why just that?
On October 20, 2020, in Solec Kujawski, Poczta Polska employees planted 462 trees, exactly as many years this year is from the establishment of Poczta Polska.
On Tuesday morning, October 20 this year, Poczta Polska employees took up the challenge of planting 462. Thanks to their commitment and effort, planted trees, when they are handsome trees, will absorb about 3,600 kg of coal and clean 16 million m 3 . If they survive, as much as Polish Poczta currently has, they will clean over 7 billion m 3 air.
- Participation in the campaign is another step as part of our activities of social business responsibility undisguised of the company's business strategy and based on four pillars, i.e. employees, clients, society and the natural environment. In each of these areas, there are activities that show that Poczta Polska is trying to develop in accordance with the idea of sustainable development - satisfying the needs and obligations towards the state, clients and employees. I believe that planted trees in the future will be not only natural specimens, but also an anniversary, green monument to the history of the post office - said Tomasz Zdzikot, president of the board of Poczta Polska.
This sublime ceremony was attended by employees of the Bydgoszcz region, Karol Górski - director of the Bydgoszcz network region, State Forests employees and local authorities of regional state forests. During the ceremony, boards were unveiled to commemorate this action and commitment of postalists in the protection of the regional environment.
- This year, due to Pandemic, Poczta Polska could not celebrate her birthday in a traditional way, known to us by postcards for a long time. I was looking for an idea how to celebrate our next birthday anniversary and so the idea of organizing an output in the open air took place. The action of planting 462 trees allowed not only to symbolically celebrate the next birthday of Poczta Polska, but also to do something useful and valuable for the local environment. This young generation of forest is a kind of natural monument, which for the next generations will testify to the responsibility and commitment of Poczta Polska in the life of the regional community - said the initiator of the campaign Karol Górski, director of the Bydgoszcz region.
Due to the pandemic of coronavirus, this year almost all traditional celebrations related to the celebration of the Polish Postal Day were canceled, hence the idea for a completely different form of celebrating the 462th anniversary of the foundation of Poczta Polska. Thanks to the involvement of our employees and the openness of the Regional Management of the State Forests, we managed to organize this events and do something useful not only for the local community, Poles, but also the entire planet.
