In response to the floods that hit southern Poland, retail chains, such as those associated with the Polish Trade and Distribution Organization, took a number of measures to help the communities affected by the natural disaster. Both residents and chain employees from the flooded areas received support.
Assistance for flood areas
The store has a special aid budget for ad hoc support in its region. – The money is intended for the purchase of materials needed to eliminate the effects of natural disasters – says Renata Juszkiewicz, president of POHiD. – The trading outlet maintains a full inventory to provide products for the most urgent needs on an ongoing basis and ensure continuity of supply. The company decided to temporarily freeze prices for the most sought-after products to combat the effects of the flood. These prices will not increase. Many products are offered at promotional prices, she adds.
Water and food transport is delivered to the municipality. Product collection is carried out: special baskets are placed in stores where anyone interested can leave products, including: hygiene products, cleaning products and cleaning supplies.
Employees were provided with special products for drying rooms free of charge, which will be distributed to residents of the affected cities.
