The end of the second stage of the Biedronka award for the children's book Piórko 2020 was announced by the chain of stores in an unusual way. The winner of the "Illustrations" category of this year's Piórka, Magdalena Starowicz, received a check for PLN 100,000 from Biedronka. The book cover she designed was used on a mural unveiled in Warsaw's Powiśle. The mural is unique because it is painted with paints that purify the air from smog.

On September 10, the Employer Branding Excellence Award 2020 Gala took place. Biedronka took first place for two internal campaigns: Razem Zadbajmy o Zdrowie and Świeżoznawcy. We also received a distinction in the Employer Branding Strategy category.

Biedronka is changing to celebrate its quarter-century anniversary this year. Since Monday, employees of our stores in the south of the country – from Kielce, through Krakow, to Zakopane – started their day in new, red and black uniforms. Eventually, the new colors and styles of clothing will appear in all stores in Poland.

At Biedronka, we are constantly working on becoming a better employer. Despite many challenges, external experts have appreciated our activities in many areas related to HR policy, which we are incredibly proud of. Thanks to this, we know that our work matters!

During the upcoming holidays, Biedronka employees will be given the opportunity to combine work in seaside stores with summer vacations. The temporary transfer to tourist regions will benefit people who are employed in our stores in various regions of Poland on a daily basis.

The 2019/2020 edition of the corporate Campus Ambassador Program selected 21 talented students from all over Poland who began their adventure with Jeronimo Martins in October 2019.

The birth of a child is one of the most important moments in the life of every family. That is why Biedronka supports parents in the first moments after the birth of their children with the "Welcome Package Dada".

We know how important a role is played by people who make sure that our customers can shop at Biedronka stores every day. Therefore, in addition to the actions we have taken to ensure the safety and health of our employees, we would also like to thank them.

The Biedronka Foundation, established in April this year, is actively involved in the fight against coronavirus and is thus offering its assistance to social welfare homes and other centers that provide care for the elderly. The foundation will provide free personal protective equipment for staff, hygiene products and disinfectants to centers that report shortages. In the meantime, the organization is already planning further initiatives related to helping the elderly.
