BBC members help Ukraine

As the war in Ukraine continues, our member companies do not remain indifferent to it. We present the list of activities taken by them in order to provide help and support to those affected by the ongoing conflict.

CFE, BPI, Plopsa and Momentum


For every zloty donated, up to 100 thousand PLN, CFE Polska and BPI Polska will each add an extra zloty from the company, i.e. triple the collected amount, that shall be then transferred to foundations which help Ukrainians affected by the war both here in Poland and in Ukraine. You can donate here: https://pomagam.pl/h64hc8

Umicore

Both of Umicore plants give wide support to the refugees from Ukraine, starting from organising collections of first need products, through refreshing apartments and cooperating with the local authorities to add school infrastructure and prevent the exclusion of the Ukrainian children.

BNP Paribas 


They prepared a whole section on their page in Ukrainian. People fleeing war can find important information there presented in their mother tongue: https://www.bnpparibas.pl/ua/ukrainian-info

For those interested in how to protect your investments during increasing inflation and war, BNP Paribas prepared a webinar which you can watch here (in Polish): https://tematyinwestycyjne2022.pl/

VGD 


VGD prepared a guide on how to hire an Ukrainian citizen. You can find it here: https://pl.vgd.eu/en/newsroom/how-to-employ-a-citizen-of-ukraine-in-poland/ Moreover, the company purchased hygene products, nappies and food, and is also organising a collection of these products and clothes. VGD continues to collect things that many Ukrainians need, such as prams and cots, and its employees act as volunteers in aid centres making food, translating and more. If any of you would like to help, please contact VGD to find out what things are currently needed - you will be able to bring them directly to their office.

Solvay


Solvay has suspended all its operations in Russia and decided to donate 1mln EUR to the Belgian and International Red Cross. Funds will help provide access to clean water, medicine and medical equipment, repair vital infrastructure, and improve living conditions for families. Solvay has also committed to matching employees' private donations to help address the growing humanitarian needs.
