"Great Book Collection" with InPost

InPost - the largest private postal operator in Poland - supports the charity action "Great Book Collection". which was launched as part of the "Zaczytani.org" social campaign. Throughout May, at 30 InPost Customer Service Points in Warsaw, you can donate children's books, which will then go to the newly opened Little Patient libraries. InPost's delivery drivers will also ensure that the right logistics are in place, delivering the books to the target locations.

The aim of the campaign is to collect as many books as possible, which will be donated by the organisers to 30 newly opened libraries . 300 locations are taking part in the charity, including 30 InPost Customer Service Points, whose delivery drivers will then take care of the logistics. The plan is to collect 100 000 books intended for 55 000 children. Libraries will be set up in hospitals, hospices, children's homes and clinics throughout Warsaw. The official opening of the libraries will take place in June, with the participation of ambassadors including Andrzej Grabowski, Ewa Wachowicz, Joanna Papuzińska, Marcin Brykczyński and Magdalena Różczka. The concluding conference will take place on 19 June at the Warsaw Rising Museum.

In addition, between June and December 2015, every little patient at one of Warsaw's 13 hospitals will be given a book to take home.

"In our opinion, the collection of books for the youngest is an excellent initiative and from the beginning we had no doubt that InPost should get involved in this campaign. We are also pleased that the event is supported by so many prominent celebrities, companies and institutions. This is a clear signal that we all share the need to help the youngest. The support shown to children always pays off in the form of joy, and - especially in this case - in the form of shaping their imagination and developing a passion for reading. We feel extremely happy and, in a way, honoured to have the opportunity to help. This is yet another campaign of this kind that we are pleased to support. We will certainly continue our charitable activities in the future by getting involved in more projects." - says Sebastian Anioł, CEO of InPost SA.

In addition to InPost, participants in the campaign include the Presidential Palace, the Office of the Children's Rights Ombudsman, the Sejm and the Senate, the Ministry of National Education, the Mayor of Warsaw, the Och Theatre, the National Museum, the Polonia Theatre, the Lalka Theatre, the Guliwer Theatre, the Warsaw Uprising Museum, as well as kindergartens, schools, club cafés and the citizens of Warsaw. The campaign will be accompanied by numerous events - conferences, fairs and reading events.

InPost - the largest private operator in Poland - has a network of more than 8,300 customer service points throughout Poland, 76% of which are also open on Saturdays and 8% on Sundays. Every day, more than 10,000 deliverers deliver mail to the doors of residents throughout Poland. Addressees and senders can follow the route of letters on the inpost.pl website.

As many as 96% of customers say that service at InPost outlets is 'good' and 'very good' - this is according to a consumer survey conducted at the outlets of Poland's largest private postal operator. The survey also confirms customer satisfaction with the functioning of the entire InPost POK network in Poland. As many as 76% of respondents believe that they are located "close" or "very close" to their place of residence. In addition, the MillwardBrown survey shows that as many as 61% of Poles are familiar with InPost.

In 2014, the number of parcels handled by InPost was around 280 million pieces. Letters and parcels delivered by InPost are sequenced in a state-of-the-art sorting facility, which handles up to 1.2 million parcels per day thanks to high-tech sorting equipment.

In December 2014, InPost finalised the acquisition of 100% of the shares in Polska Grupa Pocztowa SA. The companies integrated their operational structures and the formal acquisition of the shares was the final stage in the PGP acquisition process. This will increase the potential for InPost to handle correspondence, including public contracts. However, PGP will remain a separate company and a brand dedicated to business customers requiring advanced postal services. InPost recently won a tender for KRUS correspondence handling valued at almost PLN 23 million. In addition, InPost, together with PGP, has been handling the correspondence of common courts and prosecutors' offices for a year - the two-year contract is worth almost PLN 500 million and covers 100 million items.

Thanks to their operational efficiency, InPost and PGP offer customers the highest delivery effectiveness in the market - as much as 75% of registered mail is delivered directly to the addressee (without an advice note). The companies also record a higher on-time delivery of registered mail than the designated operator - 92% for D+3 letters and 97.5% for D+5 letters.
