Paszkiewicz, KGHM: Local content is strategically beneficial
KGHM emphasizes the strategic advantage of working with local Polish suppliers for its investments and projects.
In a recent discussion, KGHM highlighted the importance of a strategic approach to collaborating with Polish suppliers, asserting that this practice not only enhances operational effectiveness but also serves as a competitive advantage. With over 34,000 employees, KGHM remains one of the largest CIT taxpayers in Poland and is committed to investing primarily in the Polish economy, thus creating jobs and promoting local businesses.
KGHM's investments, particularly in the Copper Basin region, illustrate the benefits of adhering to local content principles. The company integrates Polish firms into its project execution, which includes employing local labor and utilizing domestic equipment and materials. Examples include significant projects such as the construction of three new shafts with an estimated value of 9 billion PLN, reinforcing the economic impact of KGHM in the local community.
The involvement of specialized subsidiaries within the KGHM Group, such as PeBeKa S.A. and KGHM Cuprum Research and Development Center, underlines the firm's long-term commitment to fostering local supplier engagement. This strategy not only enhances project feasibility but also aligns with national economic priorities, potentially setting a precedent for other industries aiming to strengthen local partnerships.
