– This is the place where Solidarity was born and where the first strikes broke out. It’s a symbolic place – with these words the President of Poland Andrzej Duda emphasized how important the meeting with Jastrzębie miners was for him when he met with them early morning on 9 July in front of the Zofiówka Section.
For the second time, Jastrzębska Spółka Węglowa awarded special scholarships to the best students of mining schools. This year, the scholarships went to 28 students from schools in Jastrzębie–Zdrój, Knurów, Czerwionka–Leszczyny, Pawłowice and Ornontowice. Special prizes were presented to three best students of mining classes from every school included in the cooperation agreement. The scholarship amounts were PLN 1.5 thousand, PLN 1 thousand and PLN 800.
Treatment with blood plasma donated by people who have recovered from COVID-19 is an effective method of saving the health and lives of patients who suffer from a much more severe form of this coronavirus-induced disease. For this reason, the Regional Blood Donation and Treatment Center in Racibórz has called on volunteers to donate both plasma and blood for treatment purposes.
Jastrzębska Spółka Węglowa and the JSW Foundation have just launched a campaign under the name “STOP THE HATE! Don’t blacken the miners!” against the discrimination of persons associated with mining and inhabitants of Silesia. The campaign ambassador is Kamil Glik, the famous football player, born and bred in Jastrzębie.
Stage two of the fight with the coronavirus pandemic is nearing the end. Thanks to the combined action of JSW, the Silesian voivode and Sanitary-Epidemiological Station, thanks to the use of swab-buses, Company employees and their families may get the results of SARS-CoV-2 virus tests faster. The purpose of the cooperation is to stabilize the situation and ensure quick return of employees to their duties.
On the occasion of the International Children’s Day on 1 June, JSW launched an educational portal for children at kopalniawiedzyjsw.pl. The site has been developed with input from the company’s employees and the cooperating sports clubs: Jastrzębski Węgiel, GKS Jastrzębie and JKH GKS Jastrzębie. The platform combines the #stayathomeafterwork campaign addressed to JSW employees with efforts supporting education of children and youth carried out by the Corporate Social Responsibility Team.
11 hospitals in the Silesian Voivodship will receive in total 30 ventilators, thanks to Jastrzębska Spółka Węglowa’s participation in the #WdzięczniMedykom campaign run by Caritas Polska. The first 4 modern ventilators have already been handed over to hospitals in Jastrzębie-Zdrój, Racibórz, Rybnik and Wodzisław Śląski, and the rest will be delivered over the next few weeks. The purchase of the ventilators was possible thanks to the JSW Foundation, which has supported Caritas Polska’s campaign with a donation of nearly 1 million zlotys.
