One plastic bottle can take up to 500 years to decompose – the residents of Leśna Polana are well aware of this and in the new edition of the “Gang Słodziaków” campaign they are sharing valuable knowledge about ecology.

The Biedronka Foundation will support older people so that they can live with dignity, enjoy health for longer and function better in everyday life.

Real social changes for the better are not achieved through one-off, high-profile actions, but through systematic activities – including programmes conducted in social-private partnerships.

Biedronka has already announced changes for employees and all customers due to the current situation. Now it's time for seniors, who are a particularly vulnerable group in the era of the spread of coronavirus.

Biedronka is lending a helping hand to small Polish businesses in difficult times as part of the “Time to Support Small Producers” campaign. Through over 3,000 Biedronka chain stores, their products can now reach millions of new customers. This is another action by the Biedronka chain, which aims to support individual social groups in the current crisis.

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.

During the coronavirus pandemic, the Biedronka Foundation is providing protective, disinfecting and hygiene products to social welfare homes, care and treatment facilities, hospices, shelters for the homeless and other centers providing care to the elderly.

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.

The Piórko competition has been organized by Biedronka since 2015. Every year, thousands of aspiring writers submit their own stories, which can then be purchased in Biedronka chain stores.
