As an ICT infrastructure provider, we have the power to enhance the investment attractiveness of particular regions and specific locations as places to live and do business.
As a provider of telecom services, we facilitate communication between people. This has its social consequences, as through this process some people gain by using technologies to improve their functioning in social life, while others are left behind due to digital exclusion.
As a large business organisation, we contribute directly to the development of local communities. We employ people and build relations with suppliers and business partners in local markets; we also provide telecommunication services to local governments.
As one of the corporate social responsibility leaders in Poland, we engage in social campaigns and initiate many educational and social programmes.
Access to technologies, experience in using them and the competencies they require, as well as attitudes and motivation needed to learn them have become the key asset. Its deficit more than ever affects the life chances of people in Poland, as it means lack of opportunities for access to important information, effective education, good jobs, decent life and extensive social relations.
This is why for many years Orange Polska has attached great importance to education on the wise and responsible use of new technologies. This is the main area of activity of the Orange Foundation.
The Foundation educates people how to use modern technologies in a responsible and valuable manner. It carries out its own educational projects aimed at developing digital skills of children and young people as well as teachers. The Foundation’s projects are based on research, analyses and consultation by experts so as to effectively address social needs. They are free, nationwide and intended as long-term. Furthermore, all projects are subject to evaluation. In their implementation, the Foundation co-operates with teachers all over Poland, leaders from small towns, Orange volunteers, and other non-governmental organisations
