In 2021, activities related to assistance for the inhabitants of, among others, the Copper Basin, but also in support of KGHM employees, continued. Special emphasis was placed on educational and informational activities, as well as mitigating the effects of the pandemic, among others by popularising and providing access to psychological advice for employees and the region’s inhabitants. The Management Board’s Medical Council made recommendations related to sanitary strictures on an ongoing basis. Mobile vaccination points were launched in late July and early August in each of the Company’s facilities. The possibility of voluntary vaccination against COVID 19 was offered not only to employees, but also to the families, friends and acquaintances of KGHM’s employees. Thanks to the campaign and the commitment of the medical staff of the Copper Health Centre (a Group company), nearly 2,200 people were vaccinated. The campaign continues in 2022.
