Employees
At the ONDE Group, we maintain a long-term tradition of transparent communication that we created during over a decade of our operations under the brand Przedsiębiorstwo Budownictwa Drogowo- Inżynieryjnego SA. Good atmosphere at work combined with the trust and respect between team members are values that we cultivate in our daily activities.
Bonds between the members of our organisation and continuous dialogue translate, among others, into effectiveness of our organization and good employer and employee relations. The values strictly associated with the above issues include care for development and openness to needs of others. They enable employees to use competences of other team members, and share knowledge and support between themselves in their daily activities. This care for development translates into provided internal and external training sessions, and the openness is reflected in continuous expanding of their range according to current needs.
Occupational Health and Safety
The ambition of ONDE, as one of the RES sector leaders, is to actively participate in promotion and development of projects using the renewable energy sources while maintaining the highest standards of safety during their execution. This approach to OHS is achieved through an uncompromising observance of regulations and development of a high safety culture.
Suppliers
Our high position and renown in the RES and the road and engineering sectors in Poland obliges us to perform all contracts at the highest level. We do not allow for compromises – also in terms of raw materials, materials and other components used by us. Therefore, we rely mainly on large and renowned suppliers, which can meet our requirements in terms of the volume and quality of delivered items
CSR
We conduct socially-oriented activities both at the national, bringing together enthusiasts of clean green energy and related subjects, and the local levels. At the local levels, our activities include sharing our knowledge and regular support for social communities, which we encounter during execution of successive investments. At the same time, we feel a particular bond with Toruń, so every year we also act for our local homeland, supporting local initiatives and executing our own projects.
Climate
The ONDE Group as a leader in renewable energy sources segment in Poland conducts its business in a responsible and sustainable way. Care for the environment is one of our priorities. Therefore, since 2019, initially together with the ERBUD Group of which we are a part, and for some time individually, our efforts are focused on limiting negative climate changes. We consider limiting of the negative impact on the climate both at a level of a subject of our operations (RES), and of a widely understood operating activities.
