For 4 years now, Sii Polska has been conducting a Passion Sponsorship Program, owing to which employees can fulfill their dreams associated with various hobbies. The initiative is constantly evolving and gaining momentum \u2013 so far, thanks to company\u2019s support, more than 50 long-term sports, technological and cultural projects have been conducted. Projects selected in 4th and 5th edition are still in progress, and in the meantime, a verification of the applications for the upcoming finale is ongoing. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The spring\/summer edition of the Passion Sponsorship program attracted a lot of volunteers \u2013 more than 50 individual submissions have passed. “The number of people involved as well as the number of projects is growing year by year. The projects submitted to us often include prosocial elements, says Katarzyna Doma\u0144ska, CSR Manager<\/strong>, responsible for the Program. Therefore, with the permission of CEO – Gregoire Nitot, the budget allocated to the program of Passion Sponsorship and Sii Power Volunteers has been increased to 500 000 z\u0142 per year\u201d \u2013 she adds.<\/p>\n

Of all the submissions from the summer edition, 20 passionate enthusiasts have been selected, who will receive funding to make their ideas come true. \u2013 The evaluation of applications is carried out in several stages. First, they undergo formal verification: whether the employees are in good standing, whether they are diligent, meet formal requirements and whether their hobby is consistent with Sii values \u2013 says Katarzyna Doma\u0144ska. The applications are then consulted with Line Managers, local HR Departments, and at the final stage they become accepted by CHRO, Head of Marketing, Sales Support and CEO.<\/p>\n

Projects that are now in implementation phase can be divided into 3 categories: music, sports and technology. The majority of applications concerned sport.
