SITE Poland chapter was ranked first in the “Excellence in Sustainability” category, as announced during the annual SITE Global Conference.  The award recognized CSR-related actions taken as part of the “Our impact on people, society and the planet” project.

Presented by an international jury and announced during a hybrid conference staged by SITE Global on 2 February 2021, the distinction appreciated the comprehensive character of SITE Poland’s operations in the area in question. The conference was dedicated to the theme of “The power within us and among us”. In addition, expert panels and discussions in groups also covered the issue of sustainable development in the meetings industry.

“SITE Poland pays a lot of attention to responsible CSR actions. Consequently, in 2018 we have launched the ‘Our impact on people, society and the planet’ project. Within its framework we undertake a wide range of initiatives responding to the needs and interest of members, as well as of the whole industry and its environment. The cyclic Travel Clown initiative, zero waste meetings and the support provided for an animal shelter foundation are among the most noteworthy examples. All of them bring a lot of joy to participants and beneficiaries alike. In the future we would like to cooperate not only with SITE members, but also with everyone who considers CSR dear to them”, explains Grażyna Grot-Duziak, President of SITE Poland.

The SITE Poland association is a local chapter of non-profit and global SITE (Society for Incentive Travel Excellence). It brings together representatives of Poland’s business tourism industry, acting as its non-commercial partner and a representative of areas where local SITE branches have not yet been developed. SITE Poland involves professionals in various fields, who work together on the quality of the incentive travel industry, taking care of its development and professionalization. The key goal of SITE Poland is to support the versatile growth of incentive travel and propagate it as an effective marketing tool boosting sales and motivation. In addition, the chapter works on raising the standards of business ethics and professional career in the discussed field.
