Grupa Azoty Consolidated Annual Report
2012
The difficulties facing the global economy over the past several years have given rise to a wide array of risks which require particular courage and resolve from those determined to pull through. Against this backdrop, the Supervisory Board of Zakłady Azotowe w Tarnowie-Mościcach S.A. has shown full support for the plan to consolidate Poland’s chemical industry. Today, with the crowning achievement of the process – Grupa Azoty’s acquisition and integration of Zakłady Azotowe Puławy S.A., we can safely say that the first positive effects of consolidation will be visible much sooner than anticipated, and in almost all key areas of the Group’s operations. This reinforces our firm belief that Grupa Azoty is on the right track. On behalf of the Supervisory Board I would like to thank all those who have helped in creating a modern chemical group. Grupa Azoty will elevate the status of the Polish chemical industry and increase its competitiveness in global markets. With kind regards,
Monika Kacprzyk-Wojdyga Chairperson of the Supervisory Board Grupa Azoty S.A.

It is with pleasure that I present the Annual Report of Grupa Azoty for 2012, a ground-breaking year for many of our subsidiaries and the Group as a whole.
Looking to the future, we have further ambitious goals in mind, one of which is for Grupa Azoty to enter the main Warsaw Stock Exchange index, which will increase our long-term growth potential and investment capacity, allowing us to create shareholder value.
Through our unfaltering efforts to consolidate Poland’s leading chemical companies around Zakłady Azotowe w Tarnowie-Mościcach S.A., we have changed Poland’s and Europe’s chemicals landscape.
Our plans for the future, however, are firmly anchored in past achievements – we are well aware that what we have accomplished is owed to the hard work and experience of numerous generations. We will continue to draw inspiration from this rich tradition.
Creating Grupa Azoty was a long-term process and its crowning achievement was Zakłady Azotowe w Tarnowie-Mościcach S.A.’s acquisition of Zakłady Azotowe Puławy S.A. This landmark transaction will long be remembered in Poland’s economic history, but it would not have been possible without the trust of the shareholders who agreed to exchange Puławy shares for those of Zakłady Azotowe w Tarnowie-Mościcach S.A.
The present is equally important to us, because each company in our Group is a vital part of its community and region, from which it continually draws strength. For this reason we place emphasis on sustainable development. The more we benefit from the world and its people, the more we owe to them.
Grupa Azoty brings together strategically fit companies with various specialisations and traditions, now working together under a strong, distinctive brand that is well recognised in global markets. Modern capital markets demand strategic thinking, and in building Grupa Azoty we have proved that we understand the challenge. This is why we believe that, having achieved the leading position in Poland, we are now capable and ready to advance our standing in global markets.
We treat each success as a subsequent obligation – as a constant responsibility towards our shareholders, clients and employees. Responsibility for the environment, for quality of life, for global harmony. We take this obligation on without hesitation, because we know we have the power. The power to create.
The first synergies are clearly visible. We increased our assets and are ready to reduce raw material, logistics, transport and marketing costs. We are already enjoying the effects of streamlined decision-making, which – as can be seen in further parts of the report – is best reflected in our financial results.

We are chemists – and therefore understand the mechanisms of change.We collaborate with nature. We create a safe world. Yet when talking about our mission, we don’t want to talk about ourselves. About our technique. So instead of a chemical formula, we would rather show how stalks of wheat heavy with grain sway in the wind. We would rather show the smile of a child reaching for a toy. A cityscape which grows beautiful through our materials. A stream flowing with clean water. Instead of talking about ourselves, we would rather talk about how we envisage a better life. Because, in fact, this is what we mean.

Grupa Azoty is a project focused on the future. This is the way it has always been. When President Ignacy Mościcki decided to build the National Nitrogen Compounds Factory in 1927, this was a vision of the future. A vision of great Polish chemistry. This vision – as well as the history of all the companies which form part of the Group – is our commitment for decades to come. We’ve come a long way. We’ve changed. We’ve crossed many borders. Today we are competing with Europe’s largest chemical companies. But the power needed to achieve this – the power to create – is something which we draw upon from our tradition. When choosing the name Grupa Azoty, we were guided by two considerations: respect for our own tradition and the principle of simplicity. We believe that even in our highly complex and rapidly changing contemporary age, simplicity remains a source of effectiveness and strength. The strength of the group itself and the power and clarity of the message through which the group communicates its mission. The Group – because we are all together, even if we have different experiences and operate in different areas. Because we complement one another. Azoty – because that’s the way it has always been. It was under this slogan that Poland’s modern chemicals industry was born. And it is our desire to enter global markets guided by this same slogan.

11 Report 2012
Through Grupa Azoty PKCh sp. z o.o. and its subsidiaries, the Group is taking steps to integrate and reorganise non-manufacturing companies active in design, investment delivery, repair and mechanics, automation, laboratory services and small-scale chemical production, together with other support services (with the exception of rail transport). This is aimed mainly at increasing the effectiveness and transparency of operations and separating core operations from other functions. The primary goal here is to reduce the Group’s overheads. Where increasing the scale of operations is concerned, the Group’s strategy envisages further participation in the consolidation of Poland’s and Central Europe’s chemical industry. The consolidation aims to benefit from synergies, both in horizontal and vertical integration, and as a consequence to increase profit margins. The Group believes that potential acquisitions of other chemical companies, strategic alliances and joint ventures will expand its product portfolio, increase production capacity, develop sales markets and provide access to new distribution channels, but first and foremost will result in higher shareholder value.

DESCRIPTION OF G RUPA AZOTY BEST PRACTICES FOR A CREDIBLE CAPITAL MARKET PARTICIPANT
Acting in accordance with corporate governance best practices, as outlined in the Best Practices for Warsaw Stock Exchange-Listed Companies, the Parent (Grupa Azoty S.A.) provides all capital market participants, in particular its current and potential shareholders, with exhaustive and reliable information on events taking place at the Parent and within the Group.
These are presented in current and periodic reports, and online at www. grupaazoty.com. Information available online also includes the Parent’s recent share performance. Going beyond what is required by law, the Group’s open information policy is aimed at meeting the expectations of capital market stakeholders, and in doing so creating and promoting the highest standards in communication between listed companies and investors. As part of the open information policy, conferences are held after the publication of periodic reports presenting financial results. In 2012, representatives of the Parent also met with capital market stakeholders in a series of one-to-one meetings as well as during events. Starting with its IPO, the company has held annual meetings with retail investors during the Wall Street conference organised in Zakopane by the Association of Individual Investors. In June 2012, the management board and representatives of the Parent were again on hand to meet with shareholders during the conference and the associated Targi Akcjonariat event.
15 Report 2012
The Group’s corporate website is a key tool for communicating with capital market stakeholders, where current and periodic reports, significant information about AGMs and EGMs, analyst recommendations and financial results can be found. The new website, updated and revamped on 5 December 2012, was edited to efficiently provide precise capital market information. In addition, a dedicated module allows investors easy access to share price and other capital market-related information. The content and presentation of significant investor information was recognised at the annual Złota Strona Emitenta awards for corporate web sites, organised by the Polish Association of Listed Companies. The jury decided to advance Grupa Azoty to the next stage of the competition. Grupa Azoty’s investor relations efforts were also singled out by investors themselves in the popular Polish economic daily Puls Biznesu for the Parent’s active participation in the Akcja Inwestora campaign, due to which the Parent has had the privilege to be able to use the “Responds to Investors” mark since August 2010. The campaign aims to encourage capital market participants to communicate effectively with listed companies using a dedicated website.

STRATEGY 2012- 2020
Adopted in 2012, Grupa Azoty’s Strategy is the primary document outlining the vision to increase the Group’s value through strengthening its competitive position and ensuring its sustainable development in the global chemical market. The Group’s mission is to supply safe and useful chemical products and to make effective use of synergies and innovation to enhance Group value.
The strategy will be expanded in 2013 to include the growth potential resulting from the acquisition of Zakłady Azotowe Puławy S.A. Grupa Azoty is delivering an ambitious corporate strategy, which clearly outlines its key objectives and prospective growth areas. The strategy provides a blueprint for identification and maximisation of potential value drivers, giving the Group the edge it needs to compete in global chemical markets. The strategy also focuses on Grupa Azoty entering the main Warsaw Stock Exchange index within a decade and places significant emphasis on generating industry-leading rates of return for shareholders. In fertiliser manufacturing, the Group aims to maintain its top-3 position in the European market.
The strategy addresses key aspects of Group operations, in particular: increasing the operational scale of the Group’s core activities (organic growth, alliances, M&As); maximising operating synergies within the Group; reducing sensitivity to energy costs (technical and energy solutions, a new CHP plant in Kędzierzyn-Koźle) and changes in economic cycles (product chain extensions); lowering production costs (modernising key production lines); building stable and effective customer relations (including introduction of advisory and technical marketing, opening a single centralised trade and marketing centre, entering markets with asymmetrical demand cycles); improving the effectiveness of key processes (modernisation, process optimisation); related diversification through synergies with existing product portfolio (expansion to include liquid and specialty fertilisers, mechanically granulated nitrate fertilisers, next generation plasticisers); constantly adapting product quality to client requirements, product perfection (innovative technologies and cooperation with research and development centres both in Poland and abroad, and opening the Group’s own R&D facility).
19 Report 2012
Grupa Azoty has significant potential for further growth in the fertiliser and chemical product markets, the capital needed to expand dynamically, patents and licences within the Polish chemical industry and independent research facilities. This guarantees dynamic product development, including those based on the latest technical solutions and those adapted to changing customer expectations. Highly qualified personnel, innovative management systems, an open and transparent information policy, dialogue with local communities and care for the natural environment – these are the key factors which set Grupa Azoty apart from the competition. The Group’s intention is to grow in line with sustainable development principles, limiting environmental impact in as far as economically practicable, while taking into consideration the needs of local communities. The primary objective for the Group is to create economic value and redistribute earnings to shareholders. To the extent covered by the strategy, the Group plans to increase the level of key operating and financial ratios: ROE > 12%; ROCE > 14%; EBIT/EBITDA > 8%/14%. Where its dividend policy is concerned, Grupa Azoty S.A. plans to make pay-outs appropriate to the company’s earnings and financial standing. The dividend will be in the region of 40% to 60% of the company’s separate net profit in any given financial year.

Grupa Azoty’s core mission, as outlined in the 2012-2020 strategy, is to deliver chemicals which are safe for people. As the leader in Poland’s chemical sector and a major player in Europe, Grupa Azoty operates in the following segments: fertilisers, plastics, oxo alcohols, pigments others.
FERTILISERS Fertilisers are a key manufacturing segment at Grupa Azoty. Well-known and trusted fertiliser producers (from Tarnów, Kędzierzyn-Koźle, Police, Puławy, Gdańsk and Chorzów) have joined forces in a newly-formed group with top capacity in Poland to manufacture compound and nitrogen fertilisers, including nitrogen fertilisers with sulphur and liquid fertilisers. Consolidation has also solidified the Group’s position in the European market, where it is the second-largest manufacturer of compound fertilisers and third-largest in mineral and liquid fertilisers. The modern mineral fertilisers manufactured and sold by Grupa Azoty are enriched with scarce essential secondary nutrients: sulphur and magnesium, and some are additionally enriched with the commonly scarce boron.
Others 4% Pigments 6%
The most universal law in agricultural science – Liebig’s Law of the Minimum – states that growth is controlled not by the total amount of resources available in the soil, but by the scarcest resource. The wide range of fertilisers marketed by Grupa Azoty enables farmers to respect this principle. Use of the fertilisers manufactured by the Group contributes to development of root systems and the use of mineral resources and water by crops, bringing greater natural and economic effectiveness to fertiliser application.
The mineral fertilisers manufactured by Grupa Azoty can be divided into the following sub-categories: compound fertilisers such as Polifoska®, PoliDAP®, PoliMAG®, PoliWAP®, Amofoska® and Superfosfat; Police’s NPK fertilisers stand out against the competition through their high assimilability and the significant concentration of pure ingredients; nitrogen fertilisers such as Salmag®, Kędzierzyńska Saletra Amonowa®, PULAN®, urea (including Mocznik.pl®, PULREA®) and saletrzak (CAN). A significant role in the Group’s product portfolio is played by fertilisers with added sulphur: Saletrosan®, Salmag® with sulphur, Polifoska®21 and ammonium sulphate manufactured in Puławy under the trade name PULSAR®. Liquid RSM® (urea and ammonium nitrate solution) is also a key product within the nitrogen fertiliser product range. The high quality of Grupa Azoty’s fertiliser products is owed to manufacturing processes not based on physical methods (crushing and mixing) but rather production based on emergent chemical processes. Nitrogen-based chemicals are also manufactured in this segment, including ammonia, AdBlue® (a mixture of urea used for the selective reduction of nitrogen oxide in diesel engines) and mixed acids.

PLASTICS
OXO
Plastics is the second most important product segment at Grupa Azoty. Manufacturing takes place within the group at two companies: Grupa Azoty in Tarnów, Poland and ATT Polymers in Guben, Germany. Plastics (Tarnamid®, alphalon® – trade name of polyamide 6) are manufactured both in natural and modified form and their high quality and composition, which are adapted to specific projects, result from the use of in-house R&D facilities and Grupa Azoty’s cooperation with leading Polish research institutes.
Granulates are also used to manufacture plastic goods: polyamide casings – used as packaging for sliced meats; polyamide 6, 11 and 12 and LDPE polythene pipes used as pneumatic and hydraulic tubing. Intermediates for the manufacture of plastics are also sold in this segment, including melamine, caprolactam, cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol. To ensure the highest customer service standards, Grupa Azoty provides all plastics customers with additional service and consultancy and develops product compositions for specific uses.
The plastics product range also includes natural and modified Tarnoform® (trade name of polyoxymethylene – POM), alongside other modified plastics based on polyamide 6.6 (Tarnamid A®), polypropylene (Tarnoprop®) and PBT (Tarnodur®). The plastics manufactured by Grupa Azoty are used in a wide range of industries due to the myriad of beneficial physical properties, including in the automotive industry, construction, electrical engineering, household goods, and the food and textile industries.
Grupa Azoty is Europe’s second largest manufacturer of melamine and the fifth-largest integrated manufacturer of polyamide 6. In Poland it is the only manufacturer of melamine and POM and the leader in production of polyamide 6.
The oxo range comprises organic products and is a significant part of Grupa Azoty’s operations. The main products in this group are oxo alcohols, plasticisers and anhydrides. A member of the group, Grupa Azoty ZAK S.A., is the only domestic manufacturer of oxo alcohols. It has one of the most technologically advanced oxo alcohol facilities in Europe. Oxo alcohols are used as an additive to oils and as thinners in the manufacture of paints and varnishes, as well as in other industry sectors. Within the group, oxo alcohols are used to manufacture plasticisers: Oxoplast®O (DEHP), Oxoplast®IB (DIBP), Oxoplast®PH (DPHP), Oxoplast®OT (DEHT), which are also available for sale. These are components of plastics, varnishes, dyes and polyester resins. They are widely used in the plastics and automotive industries. Grupa Azoty is Poland’s only and Europe’s seventh-largest manufacturer of oxo alcohols and Poland’s largest and Europe’s fourthlargest manufacturer of plasticisers.

RESEARCH AND DE VELOPM ENT
One of the key factors impacting the development of any company is the way in which it faces up to future challenges. In the chemical industry it is essential to continually seek new solutions. Thanks to its research facilities and experienced engineering staff, Grupa Azoty is in a prime position to do just this. Working in partnership with leading research and development centres, Grupa Azoty is constantly seeking the latest and most effective technological solutions and is an active participant in innovative research programmes. Through long-term cooperation with technical higher education institutions and academic and scientific centres, Grupa Azoty companies are recognised as trusted and solid partners. The experience and knowledge of experts working at Grupa Azoty also contribute to numerous international technology projects. A key R&D project at Grupa Azoty is the establishment of the Chemical Technology Research and Development Centre. In accordance with the Group’s strategy, work has begun on building the Grupa Azoty Research and Development Centre. The main objective of the new venture will be to search for and implement the latest and most effective solutions at all Group companies. The primary objectives of the initiative were outlined in the letter of intent signed on 13 November 2012 concerning cooperation. This document was signed by representatives of Grupa Azoty, the Mayor of Tarnów and the deputy marshal of the Province of Lesser Poland. The overriding goal of the new centre is not just to increase innovation,
but also to actively build on the Group’s competitive advantages. The Chemical Technology Research and Development Centre will also serve to strengthen the links between the scientific and business communities. In this context, cooperation is planned with the International Centre for Chemical Safety and Security in Tarnów based on the cutting-edge solutions applied in the global chemical industry and promotion of associated cooperation. The parties intend to support the development of innovations connected with the chemical industry through seed funds, loans and guarantees and entrepreneurship development. In addition, an agreement entered into with Grupa LOTOS S.A. on 23 November 2012 will have a significant impact on the Group’s R&D capabilities. The agreement concerns feasibility studies, including technical and economic analyses, for a project to jointly develop new chemical and petrochemical installations. The results of these studies will enable both groups to take a decision by the end of 2013 on whether to form an SPV to jointly implement the project. The main aim will be to process the raw materials generated at Grupa LOTOS into valuedadded petrochemical intermediates and their further processing at facilities belonging to Grupa Azoty into chemical products and plastics. The joint venture has a good chance of becoming part of the Inwestycje Polskie programme. With its own research and development facilities, including the Technology Development Laboratory, Plastics Laboratory and Titanium White Applications Laboratory, Grupa Azoty focuses on continuous improvement of product quality and research on finding new, cutting-edge products and technologies. Thanks to these activities, new product launches and adaptation of the product range to changing customer requirements is a smooth and effective process.
53 Report 2012
Key R&D operations in 2012 include: perfection of the fertiliser manufacturing process, work on further enrichment of the nitrate fertiliser product range and research on the effectiveness and benefits of using fertilisers in agriculture; research on modernising the Tarnoform® polymerisation lines to increase effectiveness and lower the dependence on weaker links in the production chain; research on on-going optimisation of the cyclohexanol oxidation process, ammonium sulphate crystallisation process and intensification of the caprolactam manufacturing process; research on changing the technology used to manufacture phosphoric acid; work on the capability to process liquid waste at the titanium white facility; work on further product diversification and maximisation of synergies within Grupa Azoty. R&D operations enable Grupa Azoty to increase the innovativeness and diversification of its product offering. The aim of work on increasing technological efficiency is to further decrease the level of energy used by technical facilities while taking simultaneous advantage of the synergies resulting from byproducts generated within the Group. As per its 2012-2020 strategy, Grupa Azoty’s key R&D objective is to build knowledge-based competitive advantage, which as a consequence will enable it to increase the level of innovation in its product range, processes and technologies. Grupa Azoty is committed to investing up to 1% of revenue in research and development.
INVEST M ENTS
The Grupa Azoty 2012-2020 strategy emphasises investment in products for agriculture, technologically advanced materials, and organic and inorganic chemicals. The main objective of investment initiatives is to ensure that the Group continuously enhances its competitive position and ensures conditions for stable growth.
The investments implemented in 2012 are in line with the objectives and activities specified in the strategy. The key investments delivered in 2012 include: Construction of a hydrogen facility adapted to the use of natural gas with higher nitrogen content from sources local to Zakłady Azotowe w Tarnowie-Mościcach S.A.

As regards equity investments in 2012, Grupa Azoty acquired a 10.3% stake in the share capital of Zakłady Azotowe Puławy S.A. for PLN 216.5 million.
As per the strategy, in 2012 the key investment objectives were to lower manufacturing costs through modernising the main production lines and to decrease the Group’s sensitivity to the costs of energy and commodities. The Group also prepared new projects relating to the manufacture of plastics, fertilisers and further product diversification. In the coming years, the Group intends to implement a range of energy projects at its three sites – in Tarnów, Kędzierzyn and Police – connected with the adaptation of this segment to new requirements resulting from implementation of the IED directive.
IT CONSOLIDATION
IT objectives for 2012 focused on supporting the consolidation of Grupa Azoty.
The beginning of the year saw the completion of a range of projects streamlining IT environments at ZAK S.A. and Zakłady Azotowe w Tarnowie-Mościcach S.A., while the end of the year saw the culmination of pre-start-up tests at Zakłady Chemiczne Police S.A. on a joint integrated system. In the meantime the core ERP system was used to launch key integrated-system elements for four service subsidiaries – Polskie Konsorcjum Chemiczne, Automatyka, Prorem and Koltar. This was in line with Grupa Azoty’s strategic IT objectives. At Grupa Azoty, IT is the framework around which a cohesive Group is built. Databases for on-going operational synergies are created in specific areas, and IT environments are transformed and consolidated to increase standardisation and optimise business processes. On the back of the activities completed over the last 18 months, all significant business processes are recorded in a single IT environment and are inventoried using pre-defined,
uniform primary data. Standardisation has been effected across the Group using SAP/OpenText and Microsoft software. As a result of steps taken in 2012, almost 3 000 Group personnel are using common systems, e.g. e-mail, invoicing, business expense and annual leave reporting. Consolidation is aimed at ensuring support for management processes within Grupa Azoty, including streamlining decision-making, optimising and standardising business processes, ensuring quick access to reliable and comparable data, report automation, and rapid presentation of results for Warsaw Stock Exchange reporting purposes. Parallel projects were implemented to unify and standardise information sharing between teams which are frequently working at different locations. A SharePoint video conferencing platform was also implemented. Web domains and the IT environment were adapted under the rebranding process, and e-mail addresses were unified across the group. From this moment the new group’s corporate website is at grupaazoty.com.
55 Report 2012
In partnership with HP, Grupa Azoty significantly expanded its IT environment last year to include solutions supporting operational security. A high-spec and reliable server environment was implemented for the requirements of consolidated central systems, and data processing, access networks, internet gateways and security systems were reorganised. The process of building systems to protect data processing against failures and natural disasters is on-going. With regard to hardware, as a costsaving measure Grupa Azoty centralised and unified its solutions – networks, virtual servers and matrices, backup and computer hardware as per the latest IT developments. All of the above activities will be continued in the future – actively supporting business processes, optimising costs and minimising information security risk.
RISK MANAG EM ENT
Grupa Azoty companies are exposed to numerous and wide-ranging risks capable of negatively impacting their operations, financial results and share performance. In 2012, the management board adopted a list of key risks identified and assessed within the Group which should in particular be closely monitored and controlled.
Key risks to Grupa Azoty operations: Risk of a hostile takeover; Macroeconomic risk; Currency risk; Competition risk; Risk connected with technical downtime, production continuity and incident management; Risk connected with hazardous materials handling; Risk connected with access to and the continuity of supplies and supplier dependence; Risk connected with effective communication and decision-making processes within the Group during consolidation processes; Risk connected with strategy execution and strategic project delivery and effectiveness.
With regard to the specific nature of its operations and the industry in which Grupa Azoty operates, systematic tracking of risks appearing in its changing environment, including those created by changing legal regulations, is of the highest significance. In line with its 2012-2020 strategy, Grupa Azoty will implement a corporate Risk Management System over this period, covering key risk identification, potential threat assessment and the introduction of tools to minimise their impact. In 2012 a decision was taken to implement a Risk Management System within Grupa Azoty, which will be based on ISO 31 000 and COSO ERM Framework. The process will be long-term, but the anticipated relatively short-term benefits will be the design of system foundations and thus organisational and procedural solutions to coordinate, monitor and report risk-related information. The scale of operations at Grupa Azoty means that the occurrence of new risks could constitute a hazard. Effective risk management must therefore combine three aspects: accurate forecasting of risk factors, design of possible emergency scenarios and effective reduction of their effects. Common, unified operating guidelines are particularly vital to the Group during the dynamic processes and changes it is undergoing.

These systems enable Grupa Azoty companies to cite the highest management standards. Their operational rollout and compliance with international standards are inspected by certification bodies.
STRATEG I C RAW MATERIALS AND ENERGY
For its manufacturing operations, Grupa Azoty needs two things – raw materials and energy. The Group’s strategy envisages raw material procurement on the basis of a common procurement policy. Security of supply is ensured through long-term agreements taking into consideration commercial price formulas and quantitative guarantees. The most important task in procuring raw materials is to reduce the Group’s sensitivity to changing economic cycles and to natural gas and petrochemical commodity prices.
PHENOL
PROPENE
In this field, Grupa Azoty’s procurement strategy is based on two primary sources – western Europe and supplies from domestic sources. Regular deliveries from Scandinavian manufacturers commenced from 2013, constituting supplementary supplies. Phenol consumption was reduced at the end of 2012 with regard to unfavourable market conditions and a drop in cyclohexanol shipments to external customers.
The Group mainly purchases propene based on annual contracts, with spot purchases constituting a supplementary source of supply. Propene prices are heavily dependent on oil prices. In 2012 Germany remained the main propene supplier, accounting for over 47% of this commodity.
Phosphate rock AMMONIA In 2012 Zakłady Azotowe w TarnowieMościcach S.A. sourced ammonia exclusively through intragroup deliveries, chiefly from the facilities at Zakłady Chemiczne Police S.A. Grupa Azoty has the largest ammonia surplus in Poland and completely satisfies its own requirements. BENZENE Zakłady Azotowe w TarnowieMościcach S.A.’s benzene procurement strategy is based on supplies from Poland and other CEE countries. Supply of this commodity in 2012 was completely secured. The main problem for caprolactam manufacturers in 2012 were the prevailing high contract prices of benzene, exceeding EUR 1 000/tonne. In the unanimous opinion of market participants, benzene price levels in 2012 were inadequate for the market situation. To a large extent the market was dominated by speculative transactions. ELECTRICITY Electricity for all Grupa Azoty facilities was sourced primarily from a large domestic supplier. The electricity procurement strategy enabled the Group to enjoy competitive prices and contract conditions. The Group’s facilities also periodically purchased on the spot market. The CHP facilities at Grupa Azoty S.A., Grupa Azoty ZAK S.A. and Z.Ch. Police S.A. also contributed to electricity supply security.
Phosphorite was mostly purchased on the basis of periodic agreements or spot contracts, mainly from African manufacturers. Grupa Azoty is diversifying its procurement strategy. The situation in the phosphorite market is to a large extent connected with the situation in the fertilisers sector. NATURAL GAS The sole domestic supplier of natural gas supplied this commodity from the transmission network and from local sources pursuant to long-term agreements. Grupa Azoty purchased 84.5% of its methane-rich natural gas from the PGNiG S.A. transmission network and the remaining 15.5% from other sources. METHANOL In 2012 Grupa Azoty secured its own manufacturing requirements through annual contracts, mainly from Russian sources. No major price changes were noted in the spot market, and short-term price fluctuations were mainly caused by technical failures or maintenance stoppages at the largest producers. A high level of supply from Russian sources was maintained in the Polish market, which was competitive from a pricing viewpoint.
58 Report 2012
SULPHUR Grupa Azoty’s long-term strategy assumes supplies of sulphur on the basis of long-term contracts, which enable it to ensure continuous access to this commodity. This is possible due chiefly to Grupa Azoty’s common procurement policy, together with diverse sulphur supplies from petrochemical sources and optimised commercial terms for sulphuric acid purchases. POTASSIUM SALT Due to competitive commercial terms, the primary suppliers of potassium salt are producers from Russia and Belarus. Supplies are ensured on the basis of quarterly contracts. Supplementary deliveries are periodically sourced from Germany and the UK. STEAM COAL Supplies of steam coal for Grupa Azoty’s CHP facilities were mainly sourced from two large domestic firms, with supplies split 74.9% to 19.1%. Some purchases were also made through spot contracts. The high price of steam coal noted at the beginning of 2012 fell significantly over the course of the year. For the Group, this meant low double-digit percentage rebates. Coal products are used at Grupa Azoty pursuant to the amended provisions of the excise duty act. From 2 January 2012 these were exempt from excise duty.
MAR KET ENVIRON M ENT The European Union constitutes Grupa Azoty’s key strategic market. In connection with seasonality and the quest to find new alternatives, overseas markets are also becoming increasingly important. Hence, we track macroeconomic and industry trends concerning our key operating areas with particular attention.
Current fertiliser use in the domestic market stands at 1.14 million tonnes for nitrogen fertilisers, 400 000 tonnes for phosphorous fertilisers and 500 000 tonnes for potassium fertilisers. A growth trend will also be maintained in Poland.

Prospects for 2013 are uncertain for manufacturers throughout the entire caprolactam production chain, who fear low demand for polyamide 6, mainly in the automotive sector. Market analysts at Jato Dynamic believe that car sales in Europe will remain weak next year. A particular hazard is the prospect of economic weakening in the German market. North Africa may however emerge as a prospective market for automotive development. Industry website Automotive News Europe states that new car sales in this region are due to increase by almost 40% over the next 4 years. The growth in polyamide 6 production in Asian countries will likely limit the possibilities for sales in this region.
According to Strategie Grains estimates, EU crop production in the 2013/2014 season is forecast at 290.2 million tonnes, approx. 7% up on harvests in 2012/2013. Forecasts for soft wheat harvests in European Union countries stand at as much as 134.2 million tonnes (+9%). The highest increase is expected for corn, production of which is forecast at 63 million tonnes. Barley harvests are expected to reach close to 54.1 million tonnes, while a 13% (7.5 million tonne) drop in harvests is forecast for rye. The forecast changes should not result in a drop in prices for agricultural produce. FERTILISERS MARKET It is forecast that China, India and Brazil will remain the primary importers of potassium and phosphorus, although African countries will also gain in significance. The current level of fertiliser consumption in the EU is as follows: 10.5 million tonnes of nitrogen fertilisers, 2.4 million tonnes of phosphorous fertilisers and 2.7 million tonnes of potassium fertilisers. It is estimated that by 2022, EU countries will increase levels of fertiliser use to 10.8 million tonnes, 2.6 million tonnes and 3.2 million tonnes respectively. The countries with the highest forecast decreases in nitrogen fertiliser consumption are the Netherlands, Denmark and Greece, while slightly smaller reductions are expected in France and the UK. In the case of phosphorous and potassium fertilisers, growth in their use is anticipated in Austria, Portugal, Spain and Sweden.
PLASTICS MARKET
Demand for European polyacetal is weak, which is mainly due to on-going weak macroeconomic conditions. With regard to the fact that the automotive sector is one of the dominant consumers for polyacetal, as is the case in the polyamide 6, market demand trends do not look promising. Another sector using polyacetal is the household and electronic goods sector. Research firm PMR forecasts that, despite an anticipated drop in economic growth in 2013, the market will see several positive factors leading to growth for household and electronic goods. Despite weakening demand for plastics (chiefly in the automotive segment), an improvement in the situation for the plastics industry is anticipated before the end of 2013.
59 Report 2012
OXO MARKET Asia (including Japan), Europe and North America are the largest markets for oxo chemicals. In 2012 these regions generated 95% of global demand, and consumption between 2008 and 2012 increased at an annual rate of over 4%. Consumption in these markets is forecast to continue to rise until 2018. Particularly good consumption is estimated up to 2018 for Germany. German demand is estimated to increase at an annual average of 13%, which to a large extent results from increased demand for acrylates, where n-butanol and 2-ethylohexanol are used. PLASTICISER MARKET The market for plasticisers is seeing a systematic decrease in the share of phthalate plasticisers based on C4 and C8 alcohols in western European processing, and their gradual replacement by phthalate plasticisers based on C9 and C10 alcohols and non-phthalate plasticisers, including bio-plasticisers. The global non-phthalate plasticiser market is growing at a rate of approx. 7% per year, and its current value is estimated at EUR 1.3 billion. The industry’s rapid expansion comes on the back of legislative amendments in numerous North American and western European countries. There is however demand for phthalate plasticisers from Asian markets. TITANIUM WHITE MARKET The titanium white market is closely linked to GDP. The financial crisis, weak global economic situation and drop in consumption translate directly into a drop in titanium white prices. Current forecasts for the economic situation and GDP for 2013 are not optimistic. Under deteriorating market conditions, a further fall in titanium white consumption and price should therefore be expected. A slight seasonal demand uptick may be anticipated in June and July 2013.

One of the most important elements in the Group’s strategy is responsibility for its surroundings. Believing that technological development can always go hand-in-hand with care for the natural environment and positive economic results, the Group is working on a range of initiatives aimed at achieving harmony and balance with the world around it.
Grupa Azoty treats issues of sustainable development as a matter of strategy. Further to the “Zakłady Azotowe w Tarnowie-Mościcach S.A. Group Strategy 2012-2020”, the Group is developing and will execute a sustainable development and corporate social responsibility strategy based on the “Zakłady Azotowe w Tarnowie-Mościcach S.A. Sustainable Development Strategy 2012-2016”. The adopted strategy completely reflects an integrated approach to all tasks implemented with regard to economic effectiveness, responsibility towards the workforce and relations with the Group’s surroundings. This strategic approach shows the way in which Grupa Azoty will create stakeholder value while simultaneously achieving economic goals. Management of sustainable development is effected at strategic level, which translates into improvements in processes within key Grupa Azoty operational areas.
Implementation of corporate social responsibility guidelines is based on three pillars. Grupa Azoty’s goals under sustainable manufacturing are: reducing the environmental impact of Grupa Azoty companies; developing cooperation with scientific and academic institutions; building ecological awareness; creating sustainable products; continuing involvement in the Responsible Care programme, a voluntary undertaking by chemical industry companies to take an active role in ensuring observance of eco-etiquette, improve working conditions, increase the safety of facility operations and maintain constant contact with the environment. Grupa Azoty’s goals under dialogue and relation building are: supporting the development of the local community; adopting forms of dialogue with key stakeholder groups; building an ethical culture for Grupa Azoty.
Grupa Azoty’s goals under sustainable employment are: improving employee satisfaction; improving employee health and safety; initiating employee development initiatives.
Grupa Azoty operates on a large scale and its reach covers numerous countries, which is why the actions taken are reported in a systematic, transparent and reliable manner in annual and environmental reports.
63 Report 2012
RESPECT Index Proof of its responsibility and sustainable development is the fact that since 19 November 2009 Grupa Azoty S.A. (formerly Zakłady Azotowe w Tarnowie-Mościcach S.A.) has continually been listed in the RESPECT index. The companies are selected to join this index in accordance with a three-phase procedure. Financial issues, strategy and corporate management, environmental factors, employment policy and employee relations, together with market impact and customer relations, are analysed. This means that Grupa Azoty S.A. is part of an elite group of stable and credible organisations and constitutes additional confirmation that Grupa Azoty S.A. is well-balanced, secure and managed in accordance with the highest sustainable developmentbased standards.
RESPONSIBLE CARE PROGRAMME One of the most important programmes in which the Grupa participates is Responsible Care. The initiative was launched in 1984 in Canada and for almost three decades has assisted in creating operational systems for chemical companies aimed at reducing environmental impact, increasing the safety of manufacturing process safety and ensuring preventative health system management. Grupa Azoty S.A., Z.Ch. Police S.A., Grupa Azoty ZAK S.A. and Z.A. Puławy S.A. are actively involved in programme activities. This proves the companies’ deep-rooted involvement in voluntary activities driving sustainable development. The companies submit annual declarations concerning activities planned under the Responsible Care programme, supervised by the Polish Chamber of Chemical Industry.

ENVIRONMENT Environmental performance within Grupa Azoty is run in accordance with the highest standards. Operational issues are addressed on an on-going basis: manufacturing, investment, reclamation of contaminated land, and the appropriate conditions for the manufacturing, storage, transport and distribution of substances are ensured in order to observe environmental protection requirements. With regard to their operating areas, Group companies are classified as entities with a high risk of industrial incidents. Due to the skilful implementation of the latest technological solutions, Grupa Azoty companies drive environmental performance, financially benefitting in this field on more than one occasion. Group companies have developed and implemented appropriate programmes to prevent industrial incidents and regularly report safetyrelated issues. There are appropriate evacuation and rescue plans and safety management systems in force at Grupa Azoty sites. Due to the nature of its operations, Grupa Azoty is subject to legal regulations under the Environmental Protection Law, Water Law, Waste Management Act and other environmental protection legislation. These regulations impose obligations on Group companies with regard to manufacturing, investment, reclamation of contaminated land and the guarantee of appropriate conditions for the manufacturing, storage, transport and distribution of substances in order to observe environmental protection requirements.
REACH SYSTEM The end of 2012 saw completion of the Joint Implementation Project, executed in cooperation with Japan’s Mitsubishi Corporation from the second half of 2008. The project was an effect of the Kyoto Protocol and concerned limitation of greenhouse gases, including nitrogen oxide, which is released from the Nitric Acid Plant. Throughout the entire project from 2008 to 2012, the actual level of ERUs generated was 2 670 356, which translated into profit exceeding PLN 100 million. It is worth emphasising that this success was achieved despite an incident which took place at the KDC installation at the beginning of 2011 and resulted in a stoppage of several months, during which it was impossible to generated ERUs. With regard to the significance of the project, its entire duration required constant monitoring and supervision, both from management and from personnel working at the plant. The ERUs generated were verified on multiple occasions by an external firm and only the final report, confirming application of the right standards and methods, enabled the ERUs to be sold.
Grupa Azoty companies act in full compliance with regulations aimed at thoroughly analysing the harmful properties of all marketed chemical substances, introducing guidelines for their use and, in justified instances, limitations and prohibitions. Beginning 1 June 2007, the REACH regulation imposes a registration obligation on all European manufacturers and importers of chemical substances. In the case of some substances belonging to the “substance of very high concern” category, it is necessary to obtain authorisation for their use. In order to register substances, it is necessary to submit the appropriate documentation to the European Chemicals Agency containing test results and assessment of the chemical’s safety. In 2012 the on-going process of consolidation and close cooperation between the REACH departments at three Grupa Azoty companies (Grupa Azoty S.A., Grupa Azoty ZAK S.A. and Z.Ch. Police S.A.) was continued. In accordance with the European Chemicals Agency’s decision, required updates and registration of chemicals and chemical substances were undertaken in 2012. The extent of registration to date corresponds to the current extent of Group companies’ operations. At future dates specified in the REACH regulation (2013 and 2018), it is anticipated that subsequent substances will need to be registered. These are substances manufactured at a lower scale of operations (below 1 000 tonnes per year) and have less significance for Group revenues.

EMPLOYMENT
LOCAL COMMUNITY
SPORTS SPONSORSHIP
The greatest capital that any company possesses is people. Their experience, skills and knowledge are the greatest value for the business they build together. As the largest industrial complexes in their regions, Group companies count among the leading employers in the provinces of West Pomerania, Lesser Poland, Opole and Lublin.
Keeping in mind our responsibility towards local communities, Grupa Azoty conducts voluntary activities such as investment for local communities, solutions to social problems and charity work.
Sponsorship makes it possible to achieve several goals simultaneously. Skilfully implemented, it enables brand identity and a company’s products to be enhanced, and reflects positive factors associated with sport such as passion, emotion and fair play on the company’s identity. It enables the company’s name to be associated with a specific sporting discipline, streamlines client acquisition and leads to a visible increase in the sale of products and services. For this reason, Grupa Azoty companies successfully marketed their operations in 2012 through various sports, acknowledging this form of promotion as positively received and effective.
The Group is timely and reliable in fulfilling its obligations towards its employees, feeling responsibility not just for them but also for their families and their daily environment. Being fully aware of the difficulties which employees may be faced with during the consolidation period, the Group is making every effort to make sure that they are well prepared to meet new challenges and are kept fully up-to-date of developments. HR policy is based on strategic documents including the HR Policy itself. The Group constantly ensures investment in employee development, including through a training system, programs co-funded by the EU and support for individual studies at higher education institutions. In operations where safety is so highly dependent on the human factor, support for employee development must be constantly perfected. Employees are subject to obligatory training and regularly sit exams verifying their awareness of occupational health and safety issues. In addition, specific companies also apply solutions aimed at ensuring the highest level of safety, in particular management systems and internal policies. Group companies also offer a wide range of additional programmes such as life insurance, pension schemes, additional health insurance, and support for sporting activities, cultural interests and leisure pursuits.
Adopted in 2011, the “Zakłady Azotowe w Tarnowie-Mościcach S.A. Strategy for Local Communities 2011-2013” is aimed at organisations and institutions working within their regions for the benefit of local communities. Grupa Azoty companies are key players in developing the regions in which they are based. Involvement in the development of local communities is manifested in support for scientific and academic projects, economic initiatives, sports and culture. Seeing the need to support people unable to independently develop and function in society, Grupa Azoty acts for the benefit of its stakeholders. The Group’s “Donation Award Guidelines” clearly and precisely specify the principles for providing this type of assistance. Support for the development of local communities is proof of the Group’s involvement in the problems faced by local communities. This involvement is the effect of best practices applied within the Group and of its strategic approach. Grupa Azoty’s activity in various areas, from artistic and cultural initiatives to sports and economic projects underscores its involvement and willingness to build on relationships with residents of the regions where its plants, companies and facilities are located.
67 Report 2012
In 2012 the management board of Grupa Azoty specified the principal fields for sponsoring and marketing of the Group’s brand when supporting professional sport. This was aimed at ensuring a coherent corporate identity policy and coherent principles for managing funds designated for Grupa Azoty brand marketing. It was decided that Group marketing and advertising would be implemented through supporting winter sports, speedway, and men’s and women’s volleyball. Aside from the above sporting disciplines, Grupa Azoty also implements brand marketing activities through supporting sports such as football, basketball and climbing. The value of steps taken in this field is confirmed by the fact that year on year corporate and product advertising implemented through sports is not just increasingly popular, but it is also increasingly effective.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON T H E SU M M ARY CONSOLIDATED FINAN CIAL STATEM ENTS
To the General Meeting of Grupa Azoty S.A.
Management’s Responsibility for the Summary Consolidated Financial Statements
The accompanying summary consolidated financial statements, which comprise the summary consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2012, the summary consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and related notes, are derived from the consolidated financial statements of the Group, whose parent entity is Grupa Azoty S.A. (previously Zakłady Azotowe w Tarnowie-Mościcach S.A.) with its registered office in Tarnów, ul. Kwiatkowskiego 8 (“the Group”) for the year ended 31 December 2012. We expressed an unmodified audit opinion on those consolidated financial statements in our report dated 6 March 2013. Those consolidated financial statements, and the summary consolidated financial statements, do not reflect the effects of events that occurred subsequent to that date.
Management is responsible for the preparation of the summary consolidated financial statements on the basis described in Note “Basis of preparation of the summary consolidated financial statements”.
Auditors’ Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the summary consolidated financial statements based on our procedures, which were conducted in accordance with National Standards on Auditing issued by the National Council of Certified Auditors in Poland and International Standard on Auditing (ISA) 810, Engagements to Report on Summary Financial Statements.
Opinion In our opinion, the summary consolidated financial statements derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2012 are consistent, in all material respects, with those consolidated financial statements, on the basis described in Note “Basis of preparation of the summary consolidated financial statements”.
The summary consolidated financial statements do not contain all the disclosures required by International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union and other applicable regulations. Reading the summary consolidated financial statements, therefore, is not a substitute for reading the audited consolidated financial statements of the Group.
