Submit your company to the competition “Katowice – socially responsible Company 2026”

Do you know a company that engages in social, ecological activities or supports the local community? Submit it to the 7th edition of the competition “Katowice – socially responsible Company 2026”.

The competition organized by the City of Katowice and the Municipal Entrepreneurship Incubator Rawa.Ink is an opportunity to distinguish micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises that combine business activity with social responsibility. Among the appreciated initiatives are actions for the benefit of residents, education, people with disabilities, environmental protection, counteracting social exclusion or the development of local communities.

Companies may be submitted to the competition by other companies, NGOs, and residents. This means that a student, employee, or other member of the academic community who knows a company implementing a valuable social initiative can also submit its candidacy.

This year’s edition will particularly appreciate projects implemented in the areas of revitalization, initiatives that are part of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, as well as activities using social or technological innovations. An additional advantage is cooperation with local NGOs.

The winners of the competition will receive, among others, financial awards of a total value of PLN 6000, commemorative statuettes and diplomas, the opportunity to use the title and graphic sign “Katowice – Socially Responsible Company 2026”, as well as the promotion of the awarded initiatives in urban communication channels and promotional support for CSR activities.

Applications can be submitted until September 20th, 2026. If a company is submitted by a resident, 10 votes of support are required. The application form is available at Rawa.Ink website.
