Based on the assumptions of CSR we build our long-term strategy of development and foundations of everyday work
We promote Polish food
We work with scientific and research institutions, including the Institute of Fermentation Technology and Microbiology at the Łódź University of Technology. We invest in development projects, innovative technologies and market research. On the basis of these analyses, we hope that we are even more reliable in the role of wine industry leader.
We
are also participating in a number of prestigious trade fair events. On the
occasion of the 25th anniversary of the first partially free
elections in 1989, we held a special party organised by the Embassy of the
Republic of Poland in Madrid, in its gardens, in collaboration with the
Agricultural Market Agency. The Cydr Lubelski brand was a partner of the event promoting
Polish food and export potential of Polish producers of agri-food.
We collaborate with the Biłgoraj XXI Foundation
In Biłgoraj, where our Production Facility is located, we support the construction project of the “City on the Route of Borderland Cultures” creating a multi-dimensional basis for new directions of development of tourism in the region.
The central place of the “Borderland City” is to be the Fair Market with the Town Hall, hotel and catering services centre. The Jewish Market with the Singer Museum is planned in the northern edge. Both complexes will be connected by the Walking Route. The plans also provide for the location of a historic wooden church, the Orthodox church, sports and recreation complex as well as the revitalisation of the Nowakowski Park. The “Borderland City” is to be a magnet for tourists as well as the market in Kazimierz Dolny and Sandomierz. The project is coordinated by the Biłgoraj XXI Foundation: http://www.bilgoraj21.pl/

Piccolo realises children’s dreams
Since 2013, together with the Students’ Sports Club SMS in Łódź, we have been looking for young talent during the nationwide Piccolo Cup football tournament for children’s teams. The sports competition on the fields of the Kazimierz Górski School of the Sports Championship in Łódź is proudly supported by the players of the Widzew Łódź club and the main sponsor - the Piccolo brand.
Piccolo promotes the idea of wearing reflective clothing after dusk
In the autumn of 2013, we conducted a promotional campaign under the banner of “Piccolo adds reflection to children”. We added colourful and reflective bands to our limited series of Piccolo drinks, encouraging children to learn the rules of proper road use, and we actively join the discussion about child safety.
Piccolo works with the ART-RECYCLING Academy
During
the carnival in 2014, together with Anna Baćmaga, art therapist and originator
of the ART-RECYCLING Academy, we promoted the idea of upcycling: transformation
of unnecessary things and giving them new purpose. We created four spectacular
carnival creations from recycled materials.
Cydr Lubelski supports young Polish design
We
are a sponsor of Warsaw Design Fair PATTERNS: http://wzorytargi.pl/
“We want to shorten the distance between the designer and the client. (…) We
would like art, which industrial design is, to have the best conditions for
development and prosperity. We are searching for and invite to collaborate with
young and talented designers. We support small, craft brands and appreciate the
uniqueness of both form and quality” - we read in the manifesto of this
extraordinary project.
Cydr Lubelski is the sponsor of the Inne Brzmienia festival
East
of the Culture - Inne Brzmienia Art’n’Music Festival: http://www.innebrzmienia.pl/ - the
biggest music event in the Lublin region - a multidisciplinary festival
featuring artists of the world music, jazz, rock, reggae, electro, and
classical music scene. Organisers are most inspired by what is in between,
somewhere on the border of genres, traditions and cultural influences. Thus,
the idea of the festival combines people who in music are looking for originality
and high quality, and are opposed to succumbing to the popular trends and
commercialism.
