Integrated Report 2020 / Introduction

Message from our CEO

Dear All,

Welcome to another edition of Orange Polska's integrated annual report, in which we present both the financial and non-financial results of our business activities in 2020. Combining all these aspects into one document allows us to show you our performance in a wider context, and discuss how we create value for our various stakeholders at the same time as building a more sustainable business for the long term. This context has become even more relevant in 2020, a year marked by the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Despite unprecedented challenges resulting from the pandemic, 2020 was a successful year for Orange Polska. We delivered on our financial commitments and completed our breakthrough Orange.one strategy with great success. During the period of prolonged stress for both our society and our economy we were able to put our social responsibility values into action in areas where connectivity has become especially crucial. We lent our support in response to the community's needs in numerous initiatives around the country.

On becoming CEO of Orange Polska, I was very pleased to see that values of a sustainable and responsible approach - values that take into account our impact on the environment and society - are so high among the Company's priorities; they are, in fact, written into our DNA. I am strongly convinced that true economic development must combine financial and non-financial aspects of the business.

Orange Polska is the only listed company in Poland to have a climate officer - a person that coordinates all our efforts related to reduction of our impact on the environment. I am very pleased that just

a few weeks ago we adopted our climate strategy with clear goals of CO2 emissions reduction. This demonstrates that we are very serious about it and that integrated thinking will now be even more a part of our business as usual. Responsibility will be one of the pillars of our new strategy, which we will announce very soon.

Julien Ducarroz

President and CEO of Orange Polska.

About the report

Our approach to reporting

Orange Polska is pleased to present its fifth integrated annual report. The report is published every year. The previous integrated report

was published in April 2020. We continue our commitment to communicating with our shareholders and other stakeholders in a way that combines the financial and non-financial aspects of our business. It presents our business model, our value creation story, the economic and social context of our operations, how we implement our strategy, how we are governed and how we influence the environment.

In order to provide complete and comprehensible scope of information, we engage our Management and Supervisory Board members into a dialogue during the process of collecting information and drafting the report.

We hope that by reporting in this way we can demonstrate to our investors, as well as other stakeholders, the wider context of our business activities, and explain our responsible approach to doing business. We create value not only in financial terms, but in other forms such as trust, reputation, job satisfaction, customer loyalty and good relations with local communities. We encourage you to read the report and share your opinions by sending us your feedback to investors@orange.com
