Ranking of Responsible Companies

The Ranking of Responsible Companies is a compilation similar to the Positive Impact Startups Report, presenting the corporations and other large companies that best meet the challenges of the future. In the sixteenth edition of this challenge, the first place went to ING Bank Śląski. The second position on the podium was taken by as many as five companies: Orange Polska, Santander Bank Polska, BNP Paribas Bank Polska, Ergo Hestia and DB Schenker.  In third place were four companies: L’Oréal Polska, Coca-Cola HBC, Allegro, PZU. Just off the podium was Lidl Polska, while in fifth place were three more companies: Signify, Żywiec Zdrój and Polskie Sieci Elektroenergetyczne.

Professor Boleslaw Rok, the author of the questions included in the survey filled in by the companies in the Ranking, emphasises: „For the 16th time, the largest companies in Poland have made an attempt to collect all the relevant answers in one place, the Responsible Companies Ranking 2022 survey. This year, we have put even more emphasis on assessing the level of implementation of various sustainable management declarations and policies. We have proposed a number of product indicators, because after all, real change is best seen at the level of product innovation.”

Valuable tools for the development of companies

This year’s culmination of work on analysing the ecosystem of change brought together many participants. Those taking part appreciated that it was possible to meet in this way and have casual conversations – unlike during a pandemic. They were also keen to hear presentations from startup representatives, whose mission-driven approach to business certainly inspires. No less attention was paid to other speakers – representatives of large companies and organisers.

This year’s work on the ecosystem of change can be summarised with one conclusion. The project makes it possible to compare performance in individual CSR areas between companies and is a valuable instrument to facilitate the structuring and development of corporate responsibility strategies.

The organisers of the project are delighted with its popularisation and hope that, through it, smaller and larger companies will decide to embark on the path of positive change.
