CODE OF ETHICS
Lubelski Węgiel “Bogdanka” S.A. is committed to high ethical standards in the work environment, such as treating every employee and collaborator with respect and taking due care of their personal dignity.
Following mutual consultations with the Management Boards of the Subsidiaries, i.e. Lubelski Węgiel Bogdanka S.A., Łęczyńska Energetyka Sp. z o.o., RG Bogdanka Sp. z o.o., MR Bogdanka Sp. z o.o. and EkoTRANS Sp. z o.o., the LW Bogdanka Group introduced a Group-wide Code of Ethics, constituting a commitment to respect the dignity of employees and to maintain attitudes in accordance with applicable standards of law, organizational culture, communication and ethics.
It is a code of good practices, conduct and values and a formalized set of rules and ethical principles recognized by all employees of the Subsidiaries, which are followed and respected. It places demands on employees at all levels of the Group that are higher than those imposed by the law alone. It has an educational function and motivates people to keep working on themselves. Such a top-down moral guidepost makes it easier for many employees to deal with difficult, unclear and problematic situations they encounter while performing their job duties. Condemning bad behavior and raising awareness of the sanctions threatened for it, on the other hand, can be considered a method of fighting for a better future for both the Subsidiaries and the employees they employ.

As of August 2015, LW Bogdanka S.A. expects participants of the Lublin mine’s supply chain to comply with the provisions of the document entitled Code of Conduct for Suppliers.
The document formalizes certain rules that have been in place for a long time in contacts with suppliers’ representatives – mostly stemming from Bogdanka’s Code of Ethics, with which every mine employee is acquainted and which he or she undertakes to follow by affixing his or her signature. It is also the result of LW Bogdanka’s implementation of the CSR strategy, in which one of the main goals is to guarantee transparency of management practices and effective management of responsibility in the supply chain.
The Code of Conduct for LW Bogdanka’s Suppliers has been developed using the experience of the institution of the LW Bogdanka Ethics Ombudsman and persons from the Procurement Division responsible for cooperation with supply chain representatives.
