Organisational details

types of activity: 

Allocation of the Parent and the ORLEN Group companies to operating segments and corporate functions as at December 31st 2022

ORLEN as the Group's Parent is a multi-segment organisation, appropriately allocated to all operating segments and corporate functions.

According to the ORLEN Group’s Strategy updated in February 2023, the key goal of the combined ORLEN Group is to ensure stable supplies of energy, fuel and gas from green sources. On the path to this goal we will primarily invest in renewable energy generation, hydrocarbon production and green projects, including biogas and biofuels. We will also develop hydrogen technologies, modern petrochemical assets and safe nuclear power generation. The Group’s fast growth and investments will be a driving engine for Poland’s economy, contributing to the modernisation of the energy and fuel industries and creating new jobs. Projects implemented under the strategy will also effectively address global trends and challenges, mainly in such areas as energy security and climate change. Implementation of the ORLEN2030 strategy will bring us closer to achieving our long-term objective of becoming carbon neutral by 2050. It will make ORLEN a leading multi-utility player in the region with a strong asset portfolio.

Effective growth of the ORLEN Group would not be possible without full operational and cost efficiency. We continually take steps to improve our management processes, optimise our business model and consolidate our assets. As a result of this strategy, we have consistently strengthened our position on home markets and have been steadily expanding our product range and geographical reach.

To ensure effective management, we have introduced holding management policies, i.e. solutions designed to achieve Parent-defined shared goals across the ORLEN Group. The holding management concept has been implemented based on the ORLEN Group Constitution, which ensures uniformity of the organisational standards and information exchange rules, as well as effective monitoring of key business decisions. It also identifies the legal basis for creating a consistent strategy within the ORLEN Group. ORLEN’s effective corporate supervision over the ORLEN Group companies relies on ongoing oversight of the Group's operations based on uniform standards, as well as financial, and formal and legal supervision.
