PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna S.A. needs a strong driving force in the area of management to meet the challenges it faces.The EU climate policy, the green order, decarbonization, and growing social and ecological expectations - these elements have already influenced the energy sector and they will determine the work of the PGE Management Board.A green direction of development with respect for more conventional strategies of obtaining energy is the goal I set for myself - says Wojciech Dąbrowski.

PGE is a part of social and industrial ecosystems and cannot function separately.The transformation of energy sources in Poland must be conducted in a way that does not threaten the Polish economy, and the PGE Capital Group, because of its influence and size, should set standards across the whole power sector.We are going to use financial mechanisms which serve the goal of climate neutrality based on a reasonable schedule.In my opinion, the key element of success is the attitude of the company's employees and their willingness to cooperate.The transformation towards renewable energy sources must be and will be carried out in cooperation with the social side - adds Wojciech Dąbrowski.

The PGE Management Board plans an audit of its projects and urgently, within two months, will present the policy of the PGE Capital Group's activities.
