Global reach, but local focus
At the Elemental Group, we emphasize the importance of respect and good relations with local communities wherever we operate. Aware of our impact, we strive to be close to local issues and support communities
The guidelines for our community activities:
POLAND
E-waste containers and educational activities
Terra Recycling collects small electronics in selected regions of Poland. Anyone can throw used equipment into a special container near their place of residence. These containers also contain instructions on what devices may end up in them. This builds awareness of responsible e-waste management.
The activities also include a series of educational trips for school-age and preschool children, who have the opportunity to visit Elemental Group companies located in Grodzisk Mazowiecki. During the trips, the principles of plant operation, methods for processing waste electrical and electronic equipment, and the benefits of recycling are discussed. During the visits, children have the opportunity to observe the raw materials recovery process and learn about the possibilities of reusing materials. Elemental Group experts guide them through the world of recycling.
‘Szlachetna Paczka’ charity campaign
Employees of Polish companies have been participating in the ‘Szlachetna Paczka’ campaign for years, helping those most in need. Every year, support goes to families in cities where the Group operates. In 2024, assistance was provided to families from Grodzisk Mazowiecki, Bydgoszcz, Tomaszów Mazowiecki, and Zawiercie.
Collaboration with the Zaczytani Foundation
We actively collaborate with the Zaczytani.org foundation, organizing book collections. We have also funded two bookcases that support the development of reading. In 2024, thanks to the dedication of employees from the Group’s Polish companies, we managed to collect over 300 books.
Help for flood victims
In response to the dramatic effects of the flood that hit Poland in Autumn 2024, employees of Elemental Group organized a fundraiser and donated PLN 62,852.96 to the Fundusz Lokalny Masywu Śnieżnika.
Due to that, we could helped rebuild local orphanages that were damaged by the elements.
These funds will be used to rebuild and support local orphanages that were affected by the disaster.
Supporting the local handball team
Elemental Strategic Metals has become a sponsor of the Zawiercie men’s handball team – CMC Virtu VIRET. The company is committed to local initiatives and collaboration with community, which is why decided to support the team which is the pride of the Zawiercie residents.
LITHUANIA
Emotional Support Hotline
The Lithuanian company EMP Recycling supports an emotional support hotline that offers assistance primarily to young people experiencing mental health crises.
University of the Third Age and Environmental Education
EMP Recycling has been collaborating with the University of the Third Age for years, promoting the concept of a circular economy and responsible waste management among seniors. In 2024, it received the Social Assistance Order of the Order of Malta in Lithuania, an entity that runs social programs to help the elderly, people with disabilities, and other groups at risk of exclusion.
The company has also began cooperation with the Centre for Contemporary Art, providing it with used electronic and electrical equipment to be used as part of exhibitions and thus fostering awareness of sustainable development.
E-waste collection from residents
In all major Lithuanian cities, we offer an EMP taxi service, which provides free collection of electronic equipment from residents. The service can be booked by phone or via an online form.
