Financial
stability

Even before the EFRA Project construction was completed, Grupa LOTOS had begun in-depth analyses of further growth-oriented projects. At the same time, the Company is taking measures to maintain a sound financial standing, which is a precondition for investments.

An important development was the signing of an agreement to refinance credit facilities contracted for the 10+ Programme. The new arrangements reduce the number of liquidity restrictions binding on the Company and release security interests and financial collateral securing the credit facilities.

Investment in the
development
of alternative fuels

The stable financial condition positions the Company for further smooth growth. As part of its strategy, Grupa LOTOS seeks to become a leader in new generation fuels, with efforts to this end including both electromobility and LNG/CNG initiatives.

Grupa LOTOS also intends to use its potential and experience in the area of hydrogen generation and to promote hydrogen as a zero-emission fuel of the future. An important aspect here is the environmental impact.

Energy
security

Grupa LOTOS’ operations are of strategic importance to Poland’s energy security and economy, which is a source of great responsibility.

Therefore, apart from growth initiatives, it has always been equally important to the Company to maintain uninterrupted production and distribution of products to its customers. This is evidenced by the Grupa LOTOS’ conduct during the coronavirus pandemic and its smooth overcoming of the ‘chlorine crisis’.
