Fertilizers and chemicals (urea and OXO alcohols) are the key products sold in the domestic market. Exports to EU countries include mainly fertilizers (such as SALETROSAN® 26, AMMONIUM SULFATE AS21, SALMAG®, PULAN®, RSM®, POLIFOSKA® product line) and OXO alcohols, and exports to Asia – caprolactam and polyamides. In South America, we primarily market fertilizers. Global expansion of Grupa Azoty is not limited to winning new markets. We also seek to ensure supply security and stable sources of strategic feedstocks. To this end, we look for suppliers all over the world – recently we have acquired phosphate rock reserves in Senegal.

Management

Currently, Grupa Azoty comprises four largest plants operating in the Polish heavy chemicals sector, based in Tarnów, Puławy, Police and Kędzierzyn-Koźle, as well as about fifty direct or indirect subsidiaries, associates and entities in which Grupa Azoty holds minority interests. This complex structure has emerged in the process of strategic consolidation pursued in recent years. The consolidation has enabled us to expand our production capacity, run bold research and development projects and strengthen our independence in terms of logistics, feedstock and energy supplies. Having completed the process of expansion through mergers and acquisitions, we have recently concentrated on leveraging the achieved economies of scale and synergies from consolidation in our day-to-day operations.

Grupa Azoty seeks to grow its value by operating as a single corporate organism. Our management model is designed to serve this strategic objective. It is based on centralisation of the functions which generate the greatest synergies and management of key business processes at the Group level, while maintaining the individual character, location and legal autonomy of Grupa Azoty’s subsidiaries. The Management Board of Grupa Azoty S.A. acts as the Management Board of Grupa Azoty. Remit of the President includes general oversight of Grupa Azoty, while the Management Board members are responsible for key areas of Grupa Azoty’s operations: finance, strategy and development, investments, integration of production processes, supply chain management, social dialogue, plant safety and environmental protection, as well as the management of individual companies. Corporate management is performed by corporate departments of Grupa Azoty S.A., whose functions at Grupa Azoty level and Parent level are identical.

The IPO of Grupa Azoty S.A. (the Parent of Grupa Azoty) on the Warsaw Stock Exchange took place in mid-2008. It was a period of forming and consolidating Grupa Azoty. The capital market was a tool we used to expand and strengthen, but also a platform of dialogue with investors, who have had considerable contribution to Grupa Azoty’s current make-up. The performance of Grupa Azoty’s share price has proven that our policy of building Grupa Azoty’s value is effective. Long-term investors who trusted us back then have not been disappointed. Grupa Azoty S.A. is included in the WIG, WIG30, mWIG40 and WIG-Poland indices, the WIG-Chemia industry index, as well as the RESPECT index. It is also a constituent of the MSCI Emerging Markets index published by Morgan Stanley, an American investment bank, and of the FTSE Emerging Markets index, a part of the FTSE Global Equity Index Series (GEIS).

Grupa Azoty follows the best practices and global standards of corporate management and sustainable development. Grupa Azoty companies comply with the applicable laws and meet all the accreditation, certification and other requirements. Management systems used by Grupa Azoty companies conform to the highest international standards.

Apart from Grupa Azoty S.A. (ticker ATT), two other companies: Grupa Azoty PUŁAWY (ticker ZAP) and Grupa Azoty POLICE (ticker PCE), are publicly traded on the Warsaw Stock Exchange.
