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

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.
