Introduction We present to you our report on non-financial data, prepared in compliance with the requirements specified in the Accounting Act, committing us to disclose non-financial information. Our report covers non-financial data for the period from January 1 to December 31, 2018. The report contains consolidated data for PGE Group ("Group," "PGE Group") and its parent company - PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna S.A. ("PGE S.A."). You will find a diagram depicting PGE S.A.'s direct and indirect equity exposures is presented on page 6. In order to present PGE Group's business in the best and most transparent manner, we focused on selecting the most essential subjects both from the viewpoint of the company and its surroundings. Based on conclusions from the stakeholder panel and internal analysis, which was performed by a working team in cooperation with the management, we developed a materiality matrix for the presented topics. 2. Dialogue with stakeholders PGE Group maintains lasting relations with our surroundings, based on trust, openness and dialogue. This is why in 2014 GRI we initiated a series of dialogue sessions - Stakeholder Panels. These meetings lead to clarify stakeholder expectations towards PGE Group and formulate opinions on the key issues that the Group should address in its annual reports. 102-43 The most recent Stakeholder Panel was held on October 26, 2017 at PGE S.A.'s headquarters in accordance with AA1000 SES (Stakeholder Engagement Standard). Its validity and transparency was overseen by an NGO - the Forum for Responsible Business. Representatives of PGE Group's key stakeholder groups were invited, from the following areas: government administration GRI media industry organisations 102-40 NGO organisations business partners / suppliers academia shareholders / investors competition clients local communities regulators employees Discussions were held in four thematic groups related to the overall procedure for managing activities in the CCI area at PGE Group, related to business strategy: society / local communities workplace environment market Representatives of PGE Group's stakeholders selected the priority topics that they saw as crucial for the company as well as subjects that should be included in PGE Group's integrated report for 2017.
