"We are partners in business and sport"

The Saturday edition of the Głos Wielkopolski daily paper (9th January 2010) contained an interview with the President of the Management Board of Energomontaż-Południe S.A. Mr. Andrzej Hołda, talking about the Company's cooperation with the PBG Basket sports club from Poznań. You can find the interview below.

 

We are partners in business and sport.

 

Why have Energomontaż-Południe S.A. decided to support basketball?

There are several reasons. First of all, Energomontaż-Południe S.A. strives to be involved in general support for sports undertakings. It is a very important element of our social responsibility policy. Secondly, one of the most important aspects of this particular case is the opportunity to collaborate with our major business partner, that is PBG S.A.
PBG S.A. is expected to become one of our shareholders as soon as in January. In September 2009, we concluded an investment agreement concerning the collaboration. And since we are partners in business and we will undertake joint effort to win large Polish and European contracts, we believe it is also worth becoming jointly engaged in slightly different ventures which may exert positive influence on our mutual relationships. Therefore, we now "play in the same team" and we all support the basketball club from Poznań.

Do you believe that sport can become an important element of the company promotion?

It is obvious for me that sport is a very significant element of our Company's promotional policy. We are open to support of various such ventures, both the best, professional ventures as well as the unprofessional, local efforts. Sport means pursuing success, development, achievement of goals, engagement and positive energy. All those values are common in our everyday work under large domestic and international projects. We wish Energomontaż-Południe S.A. to be perceived and associated with such an approach. Moreover, basketball is a team sport showing how important good cooperation is.

Is PBG Basket Poznań the only sports club your company is involved in?

We also support our local basketball team from Katowice - AZS AWF Katowice, currently playing in the 1st League, so, as you can see, basketball is nothing new to us. Thanks to the support for PBG Basket, we have the opportunity to become visible in the top Polish basketball division and hence noticed by a wider range of recipients.

What do you expect of the cooperation with PBG Basket?

The club offered us interesting and favourable publicity and promotion conditions which we will certainly take advantage of. I truly count on the commitment of the players, the coach and the club authorities in the game and achievement of successes that will enable us to show ourselves to an extensive range of people all around the country. I assume that it will also be reflected in the increasing interest in our services and strengthen the positive image of a dynamic and reliable enterprise.

Is Energomontaż-Południe S.A. planning to continue the cooperation with PBG Basket in a long-time perspective?

In business, a in sports, only the best count. They are in the centre of focus. I truly hope that PBG Basket will join the leading teams in our country making us proud of the contribution we had. Right now, we remain focused on the current season. It will enable us to evaluate the quality of the cooperation established and draw relevant conclusion for the future.
