Information about the Company’s diversity policy applicable to the company’s governing bodies and key managers

Polsat Plus Group adopted the Diversity and Human Rights Policy of Cyfrowy Polsat Group (the “Diversity Policy”) which has the purpose of supporting the pursuit of the Group’s business goals. The policy enables the Group to respond in a better way to the employees’ expectations, make full use of their potential and at the same time help the companies who are part of the Group to adjust to the changes occurring on the labor market. We trust that diversity is one of the sources of our competitive advantage, and competing views, opinions, work styles, skills and experience generate new quality and enable companies to achieve better business results.

The basic principles of Polsat Plus Group’s Diversity Policy include respect for human rights and prohibition of any discrimination due to gender, age, sexual orientation, competence, experience, potential degree of disability, nationality, ethnic and social origin, color of skin, language, parental status, religion, confession or lack of any confession, political views, or any other dimensions of diversity which are defined by valid law.

Within the empowerment of these principles, we have developed separate documents which protect diversity and indicate the basic ethical rules. These include, among others: Personal Policy, Anti-Mobbing Policy, Code of Ethics, Work Regulations, Remuneration Regulations or working time register. The Diversity Policy is implemented, among others, by including diversity-related issues in HR processes and tools, such as organization of training and staff development sessions and recruitment. We expect our leasers to have skills that allow for managing diversified teams and benefit from their diversity in order to fully leverage the potential of employees that make up those teams. An Ethics Ombudsman has been appointed in the Group whose tasks include, among others, the prevention of discrimination and mobbing.

The provisions of Polsat Group’s Diversity Policy apply to all employees, including Management Board Members and Supervisory Board Members. While our aim is to promote gender equality among top managerial positions, our policy is to appoint persons with appropriate competencies, professional experience and education to the Management and Supervisory Boards of the Company. The diagrams below present the gender and age structures of the Members of the Management and Supervisory Boards of Cyfrowy Polsat.

As at December 31, 2022 three men and three women sat on Cyfrowy Polsat’s Management Board while the Supervisory Board included nine men.

Members of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board have education in such fields as management and marketing, law, economy, finance, or technical education as well as rich and diverse professional experience.

Remuneration of women in relation to remuneration of men

Social and employee issues are key for the organizational culture of Polsat Plus Group, which is described in detail in the corporate social responsibility reports published since 2017. For years, we have been putting emphasis on ensuring gender equality, proper working conditions, respect for diversity and employee rights, the effect of which is i.a. equalization of remuneration.

Ratio of  basic salary of women to men
(while assuming that men’s salary equals 100%)

95.2% 96.1% 94.17% 94.21% 93.5%
Percentage of employees covered by analysis 93.4% 95.2% 96.9% 96.4% 95.6%

1 Data refer to Cyfrowy Polsat, Polkomtel and Polkomtel Infrastruktura. The ratio applies to specialist positions.

Due to the specific nature of our operations in which there is a high percentage of engineering and technical positions occupied mainly by men, in order to better illustrate the issue of differences in remuneration of women and men we presented the ratio of salaries for various grading of individual positions. This apples to specialist positions. According to our principles of equal treatment and remunerating based only on skills, competence and experience, this ratio for 2022 was at a very high level of 95.5%. This proves a successful implementation in practice of the principles that guide us: respect for diversity, equal treatment and remuneration solely on the basis of qualifications, competence and experience.
