ESG Report
for 2023
This document was produced in the period 01.03-30.04.2024. The report was authored by ABC Czepczynski’s Quality Department.
ABC Czepczynski, although not obliged to prepare non-financial reports, aware of the needs of clients in the value chain and referring to its own values, decided, as it did last year, to create an ESG report that summarizes its activities to date in support of sustainable development.
The report was executed in two stages:
1 Diagnosis of the company’s current sustainability strategies, policies, activities, ESG strategic balance sheet
2 Development of the company’s ESG Report
Results of diagnostic works and conclusions from this Report may constitute a starting point for further work on building ABC Czepczyński’s ESG Strategy.

Ensuring compatibility with EU taxonomy
ABC Czepczyński is neither a large company nor a listed company, therefore it is not obliged to report non-fi nancial informati on resulting from the European Union Directive on the sustainable development of Enterprises (CSRD).
ABC Czepczyński, identifying its significant impact on the value chain of the clients who are subject to the reporting obligation, takes proactive actions in order to prepare its contribution to their reporting scopes, which includes publication of this ESG Report.
The reporting of clients in compliance with EU taxonomy will consist in reporting the activities of the client company itself for its own purposes as well as the activities of its suppliers, business partners and other related entities.
