Supporting local communities

To be a good neighbor and a responsible partner wherever we do business – this slogan guides Smithfield Poland’s activities in every daily initiative for the benefit of local communities, which is one of the priorities of our business.

An important component in helping young people develop their education and passions is the implementation of the Smithfield Poland Foundation’s main statutory activity. Zygmunt Piwoński.

SMITHFIELD POLAND FOUNDATION IM. ZYGMUNT PIWOŃSKI

The Foundation was established on September 20, 2007 in memory of the tragically deceased long-time and distinguished employee Zygmunt Piwoński, who was an advocate of supporting those in need, especially talented young people. Therefore, the primary goal of the Foundation is to support the education of children and young people from the regions in which the entities of the Smithfield Poland Group operate, in particular to support the education of children and young people from the families of employees and families of farmers who permanently cooperate with these entities.
