Under his leadership, very good results of i.a. petrochemicals, energy and refineries segments in 2021 enabled the ORLEN Group to achieve a net profit of PLN 11.2 billion, a result that has not been achieved by any Polish company before.
Only in 2021, i.e. at a time dominated by the pandemic, he implemented development investments in the ORLEN Group worth PLN 10 billion. He also led to the launch of new sources of financing: green Eurobonds and sustainable bonds.
Thanks to his business decisions, the ORLEN Group is actively developing the project of offshore wind farms in the Baltic Sea, and acquisitions of onshore wind farms are also carried out in order to expand the portfolio of renewable energy sources.
