Education and Prevention: Preventing Discrimination and Mobbing from an Early Age

Preventing discrimination and mobbing, as well as education on human rights, are key activities that we have been developing for years, both within commercial projects and social initiatives. We engage children and young people in the education process to shape a society based on respect and justice. Our initiatives, carried out in cooperation with local schools and kindergartens, aim to equip young people with the knowledge necessary to build an inclusive and safe environment.

In our approach to preventing discrimination and mobbing, we focus on two key areas: commercial activities and social initiatives. For many years, we have been conducting training sessions that educate entrepreneurs, managers, leaders, and HR departments on counteracting discrimination and mobbing within organisations. By offering these projects, we help companies integrate anti-mobbing policies and build an inclusive workplace culture.

At the same time, we believe that human rights education should start from an early age. That is why we have engaged in social initiatives, conducting workshops for children and young people. From 2019 to 2024, attorney-at-law (PL) Karolina Barałkiewicz-Sokal led the annual "Masz Prawo" ("You Have the Right") series at the now-closed Polish-German kindergarten in Poznań. During these workshops, children had the opportunity to discuss human rights in an age-appropriate manner.

This year, together with attorney-at-law (PL) Wojciech Paryś, we have prepared workshops for seventh and eighth-grade students, focusing on the legal consequences of hate speech and cyberbullying. Primary School No. 1 in Koźmin Wielkopolski invited us to collaborate, allowing students to actively participate and gain valuable knowledge about human rights and legal responsibility. We are pleased with the engagement of young people, who enthusiastically took part in the workshops.

We plan to continue these educational activities in the coming years, aiming to build an understanding, open, and just society. We believe that human rights education will not only empower young people but also make them ambassadors of the values we collectively foster, both in professional environments and local communities.

Grid Connection First – Grid Connection Conditions, Deadlines and Technical and Contractual Safeguards

Access to the grid is increasingly decisive in determining whether an onshore wind project in Poland can be developed and financed. The new rules change the process for obtaining connection conditions by introducing additional fees, security requirements and shorter deadlines, while also creating new flexible connection models. We explain what these changes mean for investors and which risks should be considered at the project planning stage.

Paid “Leave” in B2B and a Tip-Off to ZUS. What Do the First Decisions of the Chief Labour Inspector Teach Us?

Since July 2026, businesses have been able to apply for binding interpretations from the National Labour Inspectorate (PIP) regarding the classification of civil law contracts and B2B arrangements. Although the first decisions of the Chief Labour Inspector (GIP) show a surprisingly flexible approach to benefits or hybrid working, some warn that they carry a background risk of audits by the Social Insurance Institution (ZUS) and tax authorities.
