It is with great satisfaction that we publish the second non-financial report summarising operations of Benefit Systems Company and Group connected with sustainable development and corporate social responsibility. For many years we have been developing our flagship product – MultiSport card – because we believe that a healthy and active lifestyle has a positive impact on the span and quality of life. We are all the more pleased that for the last few years we have been able to implement a Polish solution, unique at European level, in other countries and in this way respond to one of global social problems – lack of activity. Our MultiSport Programme inspires us to support the society in being active and staying healthy even more. Therefore, last year we created a special programme for children, Active MultiSport Schools, which, through an engaging narrative and fun, creates a habit among children to be active and motivates parents to regular joint physical activity. In the second half of the year we also launched the MultiSport Senior Programme and we introduced a sports card dedicated to people over 60 years of age. We believe that our programmes will influence the quality of life among many generations in a tangible and positive way.
We also put every effort to make our business model sustainable and valuable for all stakeholders – Clients, who have healthy and motivated employees, Users, who can enjoy a diverse benefit offer, and Partners, whom we create our products for and build good, long-term relations with. Our organisation is made up of people and best solutions come from team work. Thus, we implement new training programmes, extend the list of non-financial benefits and provide opportunities to get involved in volunteering as well as philanthropic initiatives. For a few years these efforts have been recognised in the Reliable Employer and Aon Best Employers programmes.
Last year social initiatives and business activities that we undertake were acknowledged by B Lab, which awarded Benefit Systems with the B Corp Certification. In this way we have joined a global community of socially responsible companies called "best for the world". We have become the first listed company in Central and Eastern Europe and the only Polish one with the certification. Therefore, this year's report has been prepared according to the structure created by B Lab for B Corporation organisations.
We are proud that, together with our Employees, Clients, Partners and Users, we can create a cooperation model and programmes which inspire others.

In its first years of operation, Benefit Systems offers employee benefits in the financial services sector as well as incentives connected with sport and recreation as an addition to the main product.

Employers' growing interest in a sports programme is an important moment in the Company's life: it resigns from providing financial services and starts an intensive development of the MultiSportProgramme. The product is an unconventional and original concept both on the Polish and European market.

Benefit Systems is the fir st public company in Central and Eastern Europe and the only Polish company to join B Corp – a community of companies responsible towards the world.
We start de veloping our business in Croatia and as of autumn 2018 – also in Greece.

Benefit Systems Group operates on the non-financial benefits market and specialises in providing employers with efficient solutions regarding non-financial employee benefits connected with sport, recreation, culture and entertainment as well as tailored cafeteria programmes. The Group's primary objective is to promote an active and healthy lifestyle. Its unique business model consists in building and maintaining sustainable relations with Clients (companies that buy the Group's products for their employees) and Partners (sports facilities, fitness clubs, restaurants, etc.). Its objective is to offer MultiSport card Users a high quality of service. The main cooperation model within Benefit Systems Group is B2B (business transactions between two or more entities). The offer is addressed to employers and then to employees – of companies, government departments, non-profit organisations and other entities that hire more than five people. On the other hand, we cooperate with owners and managers of sports facilities – our Partners.
Benefit Systems Capital Group includes Benefit Systems S.A. (holding company), responsible for the sale of MultiSport cards, as well as entities operating on the non-financial employee benefits market and in the sports sector.
Benefit Systems S.A. has its headquarters located in Warsaw, with smaller branches in Kraków, Rzeszów, Lublin, Toruń, Gdańsk, Wrocław, Zielona Góra, Poznań and Katowice. Since 2010 we have been also operating on foreign markets – the Czech Republic (2010), Slovakia and Bulgaria (2015), as well as Croatia and Greece (2018). In the Fitness Segment within the Capital Group there are several companies operating in Poland and Europe. They have investment-based relations with the holding company to varying degrees. On 31 December 2018 the Group had 32 Benefit Systems S.A. subsidiaries and seven affiliated entities. In the Fitness Segment in Poland there are several dependant chains managing 144 fitness clubs. The Group also has minority interests in affiliated chains managing 46 clubs. Additionally, companies within the Group own 18 clubs in Bulgaria and the Czech Republic.
The Benefit Systems Group's flagship product is the MultiSportProgramme. It offers access to more than 4,000best and most popular sports facilities in approximately 650towns and cities in Poland. The Group also offers other sports cards, including a FitProfit card. Investments on the fitness market aim at enhancing the MultiSport Programme and making it more attractive. By creating new locations of fitness clubs, the Group guarantees a growing number of sports card Users a reliable and attractive base as well as space to exercise. Surveys conducted by the Group show that half of the cards go to completely new users. This means that every year several thousands of people start using sports

Several years ago, by introducing the MultiSportProgramme, Benefit Systems created an innovative business model in which employers can support employees and their families in living an active lifestyle. This is an added value for employees and employers with regard to health as well as social and economic aspects. It is also an important element of business operations of sports facilities in Poland. In the 21st century there can be no doubt that physical activity has a direct and positive impact on health and well-being. Benefit Systems flagship product, the MultiSport card, guarantees high quality that results from diversified offer. Apart from the standard offer of sports facilities, the MultiSport card provided by Benefit Systems also includes many other non-financial benefits connected with culture, entertainment, nutrition and much more.

These include: MultiSport Plus, MultiSport Classic, MultiActive, FitSport, FitProfit. There are also cards dedicated to specific age groups: MultiSport Plus Kids / MultiActive Kids, MultiSport Plus Dziecko / MultiActive Dziecko and MultiSport Senior. The difference between individual cards lies in the limited (or unlimited) access to the full (or partial) base of partnership facilities that cooperate with Benefit Systems or Vanity Style.

BS_WAY is Benefit Systems Group's Code of Ethics which has been in place since 2017. It is a collection of values and norms paramount for the Group that support the achievement of business objectives and building proper relations with the surroundings. It contains a description of generally binding social principles as well as company standards which are not only important and characteristic for us but also, in our opinion, expected by our Clients, business partners and the Group's shareholders. The Code of Ethics applies at Benefit Systems S.A. as well as local companies directly dependant on the holding company. The Code of Ethics is communicated in the form of training courses and workshops (organised cyclically), Intranet communication and events. The Code of Ethics is available to all employees on the company Intranet and on the "About Us" page on our corporate website.
The Code of Ethics is also gradually implemented in direct subsidiaries and affiliated companies within the new segments: Fitness and Foreign Countries. With regard to specific elements of the Code of Ethics, there are documented due diligence procedures, including those which are being elaborated or updated, connected with:
Apart from the BS_WAY Code of Ethics and attached procedures, in order to counteract any forms of discrimination, Benefit Systems S.A. has defined and adopted its Diversity Policy. The idea behind managing diversity is to create equal opportunities in the recruitment process, access to professional development and promotion. While choosing the Company's authorities and its key Employees, decisive organs also aim at ensuring versatility and diversity, understanding these values as having a representation of different points of view resulting from diverse fields of education, age and professional experience among the Company's main bodies' members. Ensuring transparent employee appraisals criteria and implementing equal treatment principles is, according to Benefit Systems, one of the basic conditions for a socially responsible company's functioning.
Some of our Employees are young parents. Benefit Systems offers them additional financing for child care, a parent with child room in the headquarters and, as an element of integration between Employees and their families, special events (including the annual Sports Picnic for employees and Santa Claus Day for whole
An important element of our diversity policy is creating the right atmosphere at the workplace, which makes Employees feel respected and appreciated. They also have freedom to grow and realise their professional potential as well as
Transparent criteria of employee appraisals and a consistent remuneration policy are the basic conditions for the functioning of a socially responsible company.

The Company supports its Employees in achieving life balance by offering flexible working hours and sports activities which are organised for Employees in the headquarters before or after work. Additionally, we enable Employees to create dedicated sports teams (running, football, volleyball, etc.) in which Employees can develop their individual passions while integrating and competing within or outside the company at the same time. We are also open to all social initiatives suggested by Employees and we support them with regard to internal communication to help them get as many people involved as
The number of people over 40 and 50 years of age among our employees is growing.

Benefit Systems Group operates in four segments, each of them having its own specifics and organisational culture. The Group's employees have different interesting skills and talents, they represent different ways of thinking and they have different personal and professional experiences. Thus, the Group's objective is to build the organisational culture that guarantees mutual respect and supporting one another in daily work. Activities promoting diversity within the organisation strengthen a diverse but efficient team in which differences are understood and appreciated and not nullified by principle. We believe that the greatest capital, which the Company's financial success depends on, is people who made up the team. Just like in the case of the BS_WAY Code of Ethics, we endeavour to implement the Diversity Policy also in subsidiaries and affiliated companies operating within the Fitness and Foreign Countries segments.

Transparent criteria of emp l o yee app raisals and a consis tent remuneration policy are the basic conditions for the functioning of a socially responsible company.

OFor a few years now the operational management at Benefit Systems has been based on the division into operational segments. Itallowsformoreefficient p re ro a c c e ti s o s n e s s t w o i s t p h e in ci t f h ic e c G h r a o l u le p n. gesofeachofthemandimprovingdecision-making
Responsibility for specific segments is assigned to management boards at key companies within these segments (Benefit Systems S.A. – Sports Cards Segment, Benefit Systems International Sp. z o.o. – Foreign Countries Segment, Fit Invest sp. z o.o. – Fitness Segment, MyBenefit sp. z o.o. – Cafeteria Segment). Management boards in the Foreign Countries, Fitness and Cafeteria segments are overseen by supervisory boards which include, among others, Management Board Members at Benefit Systems S.A. In 2019, in connection with the reorganisation of the Group's structure, the formal management of the Fitness Segment will be changed. Most ubsidiaries in this segment will be merged with Benefit Systems S.A., thereby reflecting the actual business inseparability and complementarity of the Sports Cards Segment and Fitness Segment as well as creating a self-balancing branch at Benefit Systems S.A., which will maintain its operational freedom but will be formally reporting to the Management Board of the holding company.
Management and supervision over the segments are executed through preparing, monitoring and implementing multi-annual plans and detailed operational budgets which are verified and updated on an ongoing basis. The Company does not publish any projections or budgets but shares information about anticipated trends in each segment as well as projected risks and opportunities connected with achieving business and financial targets on many occasions.
Strategic targets translate into specific objectives set for directors and managers every six months. These objectives are then cascaded onto lower management levels and results are interrelated with remuneration in the form of semi-annual bonuses or commissions – according to the Remuneration Regulations. At Benefit Systems S.A. there is also an Incentive Programme addressed to senior management at the Company (or the Group). Within this programme entitled employees receive warrants exchangeable into shares of the holding company. The programme aims at creating an incentive system which will conduce to efficient

Such an allocation of tasks and internal control system organisation allow us to have a reasonable assurance of achieving the organisation's objectives in the following areas:
Being a listed company (since April 2011), Benefit Systems S.A. observes high standards connected with the Company's presence on the regulated market – not only with regard to legal regulations but also good practices. The Company is active in communication and open to contacts with shareholders, potential investors as well as other stakeholders who use available communication channels actively.

Since 2014 there has been an internal control unit operating at Benefit Systems. Its task is to undertake numerous activities that aim at systematising and documenting key processes as well as identifying and addressing risks connected with them. In 2017 the AuditCommitteewas appointed. Its composition considers independence criteria as well as other statutory requirements. Within an internal audit, an independent InternalAuditoras well as a Compliance Officermonitor implementation of applicable laws, recommendations, guidelines and instructions given by supervisory authorities as well as adopted good practices and market standards. We keep the key information base in the form of "risks and control matrix" in a dedicated application. We use this tool in current activities connected with efficient management and supervision of key processes within the company. Control functions have been organisationally and personally enhanced by creating a three-level risk identification and control system as well as efficient risk
and loyal work oriented towards generating high financial results and long-term increase in the holding company's value. The programme is activated on the level that depends on the achieved gross profit threshold in a given financial year.
The management system that functions within the holding company translates into specific entities that form the Benefit Systems Capital Group in different ways. Some of them maintain their operational independence, while others remain under the ownership supervision. However, the Company endeavours to make every entity belonging to the Group meet demand for sustainable development by recommending appropriate policies as well as helping in their implementation and adjusting them to differences in the organisational culture between given segments and companies.
Corporate governance management within Benefit Systems Group allows for a different structure of management systems in specific companies within the Group and differences that come from the organisational culture of particular segments and companies. The main corporate governance of Benefit Systems Group is done directly or within Supervisory Board meetings at specific companies, if they have such an organ. Currently these include: Benefit Systems S.A., Benefit Systems International Sp. z.o.o., Vanity Style Sp. z o.o., MyBenefit Sp. z o.o., Fitness Academy SKA and Fit Invest Sp. z.o.o. Corporate governance is also executed by means of sharing human resources.

means of sharing human resources.


LEVEL 3
Strengthening and protecting Benefit Systems Group's values by monitoring the risk level, internal audits and counselling regarding the Group's functioning
The precautionary principle at the Company is observed thanks to defined risks, which are updated every year by means of a thorough analysis done by internal audit units. Below we present non-financial risks identified at Benefit Systems between 01.01.2018 and 31.12.2018:
While deciding on the card price, companies within the Group look at their own estimations regarding the frequency of card Users visiting sports clubs. Benefit Systems Group's main cost are payments made to Partners for card Users' visits. The Group is exposed to the risk of underestimating the number of visits which can determine lower than expected profitability of single contracts. The impact is being limited by signing contracts with a short notice period and possibility of renegotiating unprofitable contracts.
The risk of the cards profitability decreasing is minimised by a constant growth in the number of cards that results from positive changes in the job market trends as well as a growing popularity of a healthy lifestyle both in Poland and other countries which the Group operates in.
1
The Capital Group's size, anticipated development and increased number of clubs in the future has an impact on the growing complexity of Benefit Systems Group's operations and its management. Limiting this risk relates to the need to involve significant resources and incur additional costs connected with integrating new companies, introducing unified corporate governance rules, designing and implementing elements of the internal control system as well as managing sports clubs. Also, the process of reorganising the Capital Group's structure has started. This process will consist in simplifying the Capital Group's structure by Benefit Systems S.A. taking over most companies operating in the Fitness Segment in Poland.
Regulatory as well as legal and tax risks include the possibility of unfavourable decisions in ongoing or potential proceedings before administrative authorities, including the President of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection or tax authorities.
Proceedings against Benefit Systems S.A. (and other entities) were initiated by the President of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection on 22 June 2018 on suspicion of performing specific acts that potentially limit competition on the national market of sports and recreation packages as well as national market of fitness clubs or local fitness clubs market or other relevant markets.
On 28 November 2018 Benefit Systems S.A. received the decision of the President of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection to extend the antitrust proceedings until 30 April 2019. The President of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection explained that, due to the complex character of the proceedings and necessity to analyse the case further, ending the proceedings at this stage would not be possible.
The regulatory risk is properly managed and monitored as Benefit Systems Group attaches great importance to treating all stakeholders in the right way. However, unfavourable decisions made by consumer protection authorities cannot be excluded, especially regarding the past. The Company believes that potential decisions made by the President of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection can have a limited impact on the future operations of Benefit Systems S.A., and hence the whole Group. Legal and tax risk applies particularly to regulations and interpretations of the tax law that governs economic activities. Many existing legislations have not been formulated in a sufficiently precise manner. There is often no unequivocal explanation of them, and interpretations of tax law provided by tax authorities and courts are often changed and not uniform.
Benefit Systems Group sees the risk of new competitors joining the game. This risk can come from organised entities offering sports and recreation services, from a new entity copying the Group's model or from large national and international entities offering services to corporate clients that have been absent in this area so far.
The Group sees a similar risk with regard to new products which, as innovative solutions on the market, can be copied by competitive companies in the future. In reaction to this risk, the Group undertakes appropriate actions, such as implementation of distribution platforms and investing in sports clubs.
5 The risks have been described in the Benefit Systems Management Board Report for 2018
This may give us potential to enter a new segment of the market.
Risk connected with processing and protecting personal data, for example adjusting regulations to General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) from a legal, organisational and technical
Risk connected with implementing and maintaining
The Group manages IT systems risk by implementing proper procedures and control mechanisms that enable efficient prevention and limiting the effects of materialisation of risks. In particular, the Company develops procedures and mechanisms connected with systems development and maintenance, change management and information security. The Company applies redundant equipment and system solutions in order to minimise the risk of interruptions in the functioning of key IT systems. With regard to cybersecurity management, the Company continuously updates network security systems. The Group
Risk of acquiring and managing human resources,
The factors that have an impact on the Benefit Systems Group's operations include work and skills of key people, including the management as well as other teams and employees. Management Boards at companies that form Benefit Systems Group believe that the Group's development speed also depends on the ability to recruit and maintain highly qualified management staff and key employees. Losing a significant number of these people may have a negative impact on the Group's operations. Benefit Systems Group successfully acquires appropriate human resources, also thanks to the position of an appreciated employer and a positive working atmosphere. The Group has adopted a strategy of additional motivation in the form of an incentive programme for the management staff and key employees. The risk factors connected with human resources include changes on the job market connected with growing financial expectations among employees, which can have a negative impact on the increasing operational costs.
The Company analyses various market scenarios and the undertaken risk of testing new solutions or entering new markets is calculated in management decisions and does not pose a serious threat for the Group's financial security. In the following year we are going to continue identify new risks, improve management systems and design recovery plans. The Company is also going to

The risk comes from the necessity to adjust the Company's operations to new guidelines specified by the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016. The dimension of necessary changes and adjustments to the requirements is done on different levels of the Company's operations, including legal, organisational and system solutions, with a focus on network resources and IT systems security. Benefit Systems S.A. has undertaken numerous activities that aim at adjusting to the requirements specified in the regulations, for example those connected with updating processes, adjusting IT systems and updating contracts with Clients with regard to entrusting
Risk connected with running the business and expanding to foreign markets, including political and foreign currency risks
As a part of the strategy assuming expanding its operations, the Group continues its expansion to foreign markets. On the Czech and Bulgarian market the Group notes further dynamic growth. On the remaining markets the business is being built. It is not certain, though, if the Benefit Systems S.A. business model, which proved successful on the Polish market, will be fully adopted on new markets, which have legal and cultural differences as well as differences in the level of sports activity and non-financial methods of
Not achieving the plans on any of the new markets may have a negative impact on the Benefit Systems Group's financial results. It should be noted, though, that before a decision to enter a market is made, the Group verifies its potential and analyses possible risks. Additionally, the Group has adopted the strategy of gradual capital expenditure that considers the current market situation, foreign currency risk and
Risk of demographic situation changing in Poland and the
In the long term, the Benefit Systems Group's business can be influenced by the change in demographic structure in Poland as well as other countries which the Group operates in, particularly ageing societies. It cannot be ruled out that along with this trend, which also means a decreasing target group (professionally active people), products currently offered by the Group may become less popular. This can have a negative impact on the financial results in the long term. According to Benefit Systems Group, the impact of the above-mentioned risk will be limited due to the fact that, following the example of developed countries in Western Europe, we can observe an increase in physical activity among older age groups also in Poland.

On 28 November 2018 Benefit Systems S.A. received the decision of the President of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection to extend the antitrust proceedings until 30 April 2019. The President of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection explained that, due to the complex character of the proceedings and necessity to analyse the case further, ending the proceedings at this
The regulatory risk is properly managed and monitored as Benefit Systems Group attaches great importance to treating all stakeholders in the right way. However, unfavourable decisions made by consumer protection authorities cannot be excluded, especially regarding the past. The Company believes that potential decisions made by the President of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection can have a limited impact on the future operations of Benefit Systems S.A., and hence the whole Group. Legal and tax risk applies particularly to regulations and interpretations of the tax law that governs economic activities. Many existing legislations have not been formulated in a sufficiently precise manner. There is often no unequivocal explanation of them, and interpretations of tax law provided by tax authorities and
Market risk – the risk of new competitors entering the market or the risk of current competitors expanding due to the lack of barriers while entering the non-financial benefits market and
Benefit Systems Group sees the risk of new competitors joining the game. This risk can come from organised entities offering sports and recreation services, from a new entity copying the Group's model or from large national and international entities offering services to corporate clients that have been absent
The Group sees a similar risk with regard to new products which, as innovative solutions on the market, can be copied by competitive companies in the future. In reaction to this risk, the Group undertakes appropriate
actions, such as implementation of distribution platforms and investing in sports clubs.

Risk connected with not adjusting the business model to the
specifics of an agent on the sports services market
While deciding on the card price, companies within the Group look at their own estimations regarding the frequency of card Users visiting sports clubs. Benefit Systems Group's main cost are payments made to Partners for card Users' visits. The Group is exposed to the risk of underestimating the number of visits which can determine lower than expected profitability of single contracts. The impact is being limited by signing contracts with a short notice period and possibility of renegotiating unprofitable contracts.
The risk of the cards profitability decreasing is minimised by a constant growth in the number of cards that results from positive changes in the job market trends as well as a growing popularity of a healthy lifestyle
The Capital Group's size, anticipated development and increased number of clubs in the future has an impact on the growing complexity of Benefit Systems Group's operations and its management. Limiting this risk relates to the need to involve significant resources and incur additional costs connected with integrating new companies, introducing unified corporate governance rules, designing and implementing elements of the internal control system as well as managing sports clubs. Also, the process of reorganising the Capital Group's structure has started. This process will consist in simplifying the Capital Group's structure by Benefit Systems S.A. taking over most companies operating in the Fitness Segment in

Risk connected with managing a large capital group and difficulties in achieving projected
In the long term, the Benefit Systems Group's business can be influenced by the change in demographic structure in Poland as well as other countries which the Group operates in, particularly ageing societies. It cannot be ruled out that along with this trend, which also means a decreasing target group (professionally active people), products currently offered by the Group may become less popular. This can have a negative impact on the financial results in the long term. According to Benefit Systems Group, the impact of the above-mentioned risk will be limited due to the fact that, following the example of developed countries in Western Europe, we can observe an increase in physical activity among older age groups also in Poland. This may give us potential to enter a new segment of the market.
The Group manages IT systems risk by implementing proper procedures and control mechanisms that enable efficient prevention and limiting the effects of materialisation of risks. In particular, the Company develops procedures and mechanisms connected with systems development and maintenance, change management and information security. The Company applies redundant equipment and system solutions in order to minimise the risk of interruptions in the functioning of key IT systems. With regard to cybersecurity management, the Company continuously updates network security systems. The Group uses tried and tested solutions recognised by the market.
The factors that have an impact on the Benefit Systems Group's operations include work and skills of key people, including the management as well as other teams and employees. Management Boards at companies that form Benefit Systems Group believe that the Group's development speed also depends on the ability to recruit and maintain highly qualified management staff and key employees. Losing a significant number of these people may have a negative impact on the Group's operations. Benefit Systems Group successfully acquires appropriate human resources, also thanks to the position of an appreciated employer and a positive working atmosphere. The Group has adopted a strategy of additional motivation in the form of an incentive programme for the management staff and key employees. The risk factors connected with human resources include changes on the job market connected with growing financial expectations among employees, which can have a negative impact on the increasing operational costs.
The Company analyses various market scenarios and the undertaken risk of testing new solutions or entering new markets is calculated in management decisions and does not pose a serious threat for the Group's financial security. In the following year we are going to continue identify new risks, improve management systems and design recovery plans. The Company is also going to expand this control onto the Capital Group's new segments efficiently.

In 2018, together with an external partner, Kantar TNS, we conducted a survey on physical activity among Polish people, MultiSport Index, whose results were presented to general public. This comprehensive survey aimed at monitoring, identifying and analysing physical and sports activity as well as analysing a wide range of social factors that influence this activity. The survey showed, among others, that 62% of Poles consider themselves active, with 48% of the population that can be considered active in sports.
We also selected four main types of attitude towards physical activity demonstrated by the society. These were "Recreation", "Be FIT!", "Sports ground buddies" and "Pro-amateur". They were characterised by different motivations, approach to health and nutrition and needs connected with sports. The biggest group is the "Recreation" type (7.4 million people), representatives of which exercise to stay healthy and most often choose cycling and gymnastics.

9 At the end of 2018 Benefit Systems Group had 1,296 Employees. The employment structure is dominated by women who constitute 64% of all Employees. In the holding company, Benefit Systems S.A., contracts of employment constitute 91.7% of all forms of employment. The number of the Group's Employees and Associates working under a different contract than a contract of employment was 3,886 people, of which 63% are women.
The big difference between the number of Employees working under a contract of employment and people working under a different form of employment results 10 from the specific character of companies operating in the Fitness Segment . These are companies that run fitness club chains and hire mainly fitness instructors and trainers. These people usually do not work full time, they have classes in a few clubs and their working hours are often irregular. Such a form of employment is closely connected with the specifics of this sector.

9 At the end of 2018 Benefit Systems Group had 1,296 Employees. The employment structure is dominated by women who constitute 64% of all Employees. In the holding company, Benefit Systems S.A., contracts of employment constitute 91.7% of all forms of employment. The number of the Group's Employees and Associates working under a different contract than a contract of employment was 3,886
The big difference between the number of Employees working under a contract of employment and people working under a different form of employment results
from the specific character of companies operating in the Fitness Segment . These are companies that run fitness club chains and hire mainly fitness instructors and trainers. These people usually do not work full time, they have classes in a few clubs and their working hours are often irregular. Such a form of

The Company is made up of people who are the organisation's primary capital. Together we work for our success, which comes with knowledge, skills, experience and engagement of our Employees.
Therefore, human resources policy at Benefit Systems Group concentrates around building an attractive workplace both for existing and potential employees.
In the process of recruiting and shaping one's career path we choose efficient, highly-motivated people who support our goals. We look for people with high potential who will fit in our team. People who have values and principles like those we profess in our organisation.

In the recruitment process we use sophisticated recruitment tools such as competency tests, case study or Assessment Centre in order to make sure that a candidate fits into a given job which results in mutual benefits. Small turnover in given departments and on key positions is the objective of policies in the employment area. It is based on the right recruitment.
Every year we attend job and internship fairs for students and graduates where we encourage people to take an internship at Benefit Systems, which may result in a full-time job offer. At our stand everyone interested can learn about the company's specifics, take part in a game to win gadgets and, which is most important – leave an application.
We also run an internal programme called "Recommendation Action", in which our Employees can recommend their friends for work at Benefit Systems. If a candidate recommended by an Employee is hired, the Employee receives a bonus.

2.3. TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT
We take care to make our Employees have proper conditions to acquire knowledge, new competencies, skills and experience. We want them to develop their potential. We enable employees within the Company and the whole Group to develop their career paths within the organisation, putting competencies and an objective fulfilment of requirements necessary to take on a given job in the first place. In this way we ensure equal opportunities for internal and external candidates. At the same time, we support the process of building these competencies and shaping career paths.
Among the Management Board Members and the team of key directors at Benefit Systems Group there are people who have been connected with the company from its beginning – employees whose development and professional success went along with the Group's success.
Training and development programmes for Employees are comprehensively designed for the whole year according to the competencies that need strengthening reported by particular departments (in a given department and level within the organisation). At every stage the training planning process is supported by trainers and experts from the HR department. In no way it is connected with gender, age or belief criteria. Every employee within the organisation has the right to receive a well-tailored training, regardless of his or her function.

Our objective is not only to promote a healthy and active lifestyle as well as provide sports cards Clients and Users with ready solutions in this area but also to take care of our Employees, their health and well-being.
We create a friendly and attractive workplace by offering favourable employment conditions and one of the most diversified non-financial benefit packages on the 16 market . We invest in enhancing professional competencies among our Em-17 ployees and we give them a chance to develop their career path within the Group . We also take care of good working atmosphere – we celebrate different occasions together and we integrate during company events as well as departmental meetings. We are kind towards one another, we respect one another, and we help one another. We work according to the work-life balance philosophy.
The fact that Employees appreciate working at Benefit Systems is demonstrated in 18 their opinions expressed in the annual Aon Satisfaction and Engagement Survey 19 and the Best Employer title , which we received in 2018 for the second time. This title is based on Employees' opinions expressed in the above-mentioned survey 20 and the general engagement assessment which in 2018 achieved the level of 73% . It is a very good result compared to the results achieved by other employers on the Polish market (in 2018 the average employee engagement index for Polish companies was 50%).
Such a high level of satisfaction and engagement is not random but results from numerous activities undertaken by the Management Board at Benefit Systems and the management at companies within the Group in the last few years as the answer to the Employees' needs and opinions. The turnout in this cyclical survey is usually above 90% (91% in 2018), which confirms that the Employees are willing to take part in the dialogue about working environment and see actual effects of expressing both approving and critical comments.

Moreover, in autumn each year there are freefluevaccinationsoffered to Employees in Benefit Systems S.A. headquarters.
By their very nature, operations of companies within the Benefit Systems Capital Group do not expose Employees to serious damages to health (contrary to production, for example). They do a typical office work which poses a threat to their health and life to a negligible extent. To have their safety ensured, every new Employee completes an obligatory healthandsafetytraining. Our offices are equipped with firstaidkits. We also organise firstaidtrainingcoursesfor Employees. In 2018 there were two such courses organised in the holding company's headquarters. Additionally, employees of fitness club chains dependant on Benefit Systems have specialist training connected with sports equipment.
Appraisals are done every six months (in January and July) and based on achieved targets set for a given half-year together with Employees (individually).
In 2018 appraisals applied to Employees on all levels of the organisation in the 24 Sports Cards and Cafeteria Segment . Appraisals were done with all Employees, excluding those on a probation period.

The appraisal system is directly connected with regulation bonuses paid in the period following the appraisal. The bonus is calculated depending on the target achievement level measured in percentages. We put every effort to make the appraisal system fair, clearly communicated and comprehensible as all as to motivate employees to be engaged in their work.
Employees can evaluate all the important aspects of their working environment, such as the management, influence on decision-making processes and work organisation. This evaluation is done within the annual Aon Satisfaction and Engagement Survey discussed in the next subchapter.

Our Employees' opinion is very important for us. Therefore, for seven years we have been conducting the Aon Satisfaction and Engagement Survey. This is the biggest and most objective survey demonstrating an organisation's diagnosis from the point of view of employee engagement in Poland. In the survey Employees evaluate their employer in terms of numerous aspects. The survey is anonymous, which guarantees credibility and sincerity of given answers.
The survey results are analysed for the whole Group and for the holding company. Benefit Systems S.A. achieves one of the best employee satisfaction and engagement survey results 25 in Poland, situating itself among the laureates of the Aon Best Employer awards .
T am he on s g ur B v e e n y e conductedinNovember2018showedthatthegeneralengagementlevel fitSystemsEmployeeswas73%.It was based on the results in particular areas included in the survey. This result is slightly lower than in the previous year (80%) but it is still on a very high level, especially if compared to other companies that conduct this survey among their employees (131 companies in 2018). In 2018 the average engagement index in Poland was 50%, and for companies running similar operations to Benefit Systems (professional services segment) – 57%. The turnout in this cyclical survey conducted at Benefit Systems is usually 90% (in 2018 it was 91%, and in 2017 – 92%).

In 2018 the Aon Satisfaction and Engagement Survey result for the whole Group was 60%. This result is lower than the one achieved by the holding company, but still 10% higher than the average result for companies in Poland.

As Benefit Systems Group, we give our Clients ready-made and comprehensive solutions regarding non-financial benefits, which can make their offer and image on the job market as an employer who takes care of its (existing and potential) employees' health, fitness and well-being more attractive. We offer them numerous benefits that they can flexibly adjust to their employees' needs.
The entity responsible for selling our flagship product – MultiSportcard– is the holding company, Benefit Systems S.A. This offer is addressed mainly to employers that hire more than five people. They include companies of different sizes, businesses, government departments, associations and other entities.

Our model of cooperation with Clients is thus based on the B2B relation. Through the MultiSport Programme, Benefit Systems connects Clients (companies) and their employees (MultiSport card Users) with the owners of sports facilities – our Partners. Due to the above model of cooperation, the Company does not have full 29 impact on the quality of service , which the final addressee (MultiSport card User) receives. However, its objective is to support the whole delivery chain in 30 this process by generating benefits for the whole sector and the Users as well as provide elements of the service done in the Company and in the Group with utmost care and in constant dialogue with the Client and the final User.
Cooperation with Clients within the CafeteriaSegment, overseen by MyBenefit and MultiBenefit, is also based on the B2B relation. Cafeterias give our Clients (employers) a full control over the amount and way of spending money given to employees and simple calculations of realised benefits. These benefits can be financed by Clients from the Company Social Fund or current assets. They are provided directly or indirectly by tried and tested suppliers whose chain consists of a few thousand entities and it is still being developed – both as new suppliers as well as new types of benefits are concerned.
We endeavour to approach every Client individually and adjust our offer and cooperation conditions to its needs flexibly, according to the win-winprinciple. We 31 constantly monitor Clients' opinions by conducting regular satisfaction surveys .

In 2018 our Consultants also took part in the workshop called "My ideal helpline, my ideal consultant, my ideal boss" during which improvements in the Helpline operations and cooperation within the team were developed. The workshop also resulted in changes thanks to which our Consultants will feel good performing their everyday work.
G In o or od de P r to maintain high standards of service, in 2018 we introduced the Codeof ractices, whose aim is to increase the security of personal data of Users, Clients and Partners. Moreover, we implemented Helpline Team monthly meetings system. During these meetings Consultants receive information about the company's current results, different actions and events for the Users as well as expected changes in order to provide them with complete knowledge about what is going on so they could give complete information to people they talk to, if necessary.

Apart from internal surveys, similarly to Clients and Partners, we have implemented the annual MultiSport user satisfaction survey conducted by an external research agency. Thanks to the survey conducted together with Kantar TNS we managed to find out that MultiSport card Users have a strong relation with the product. The card owes this level of satisfaction mainly to a high general rate for the product – 92% of Users evaluate it positively.
Apart from a positive opinion about the product, Users' inclination to recommend the MultiSport card to their friends or family is also on a high level. The NPS rate on the level of 29 points with 48% of promoters proves a high opinion about the benefits that Users get by using the card. Users' loyalty is also confirmed by a declarative inclination to remain the card User, which is over 80%.
Among different features of the MultiSport card, which are analysed, the most important and best scored aspects include: terms of use, quality of services provided, availability of services and changing with the times. This is a positive sign from the Users – they appreciate the card in those areas that build a strong relation with the product to the largest extent.

Indisputable business experience and transparency policy for all Benefit Systems operations allow us to build cooperation and maintain good relations with a wide network of Partners which honour MultiSport cards for years.

High quality of offered services, innovative solutions and sensitivity to market needs make this number constantly grow, which translates into benefits for the whole supply chain.
According to the B2B model, Benefit Systems, together with its Partners, plays a role of an intermediary, attaching special importance to the level of services and products provided through the MultiSport partner facilities chain. Sports services providers are constantly verified with regard to:

This tool and its functionalities are going to be developed in the upcoming years.

One of the dimensions of Benefit Systems taking care of its relations with Partners is taking their opinion about cooperation within the MultiSport Programme into consideration.
In order to achieve this objective, we regularly conduct surveys and analyses connected with our Partners' opinions about the quality of Benefit Systems operations. These include:
• Apart from verifying the general level of satisfaction with cooperation with our company, the annual independent satisfaction survey enables our Partners express their opinion about the quality of services provided by our account managers and evaluate specific aspects of the cooperation. The 2018 results show that the general level of satisfaction with the cooperation with Benefit Systems is high – 94% of Partners are satisfied with the cooperation with our company. Comparing the result year after year, we can observe that the satisfaction level is constantly growing – in 2017 we had 93% of satisfied Partners and in 2016 – 91%. Unchangingly, the most satisfied with the cooperation are swimming pools (100%) and the least satisfied – facilities that offer martial arts, dancing and yoga classes (88%). Compared to the previous surveys, willingness to recommend Benefit Systems has grown – the current NPS score is 64 points (compared to 59 points in 2017). Most loyal are swimming pools employees (NPS: 79) and least loyal – representatives of facilities offering martial arts, yoga and dancing classes (NPS: 43) – a low score in this group of Partners was also recorded in 2017.

To make cooperation with our partners from both segments as optimal and consistent with our standards as possible, we base it on a specially designed procurement policy.

Apart from verifying the general level of satisfaction with cooperation with our company, the annual independent satisfaction survey enables our Partners express their opinion about the quality of services provided by our account managers and evaluate specific aspects of the cooperation. The 2018 results show that the general level of satisfaction with the cooperation with Benefit Systems is high – 94% of Partners are satisfied with the cooperation with our company. Comparing the result year after year, we can observe that the satisfaction level is constantly growing – in 2017 we had 93% of satisfied Partners and in 2016 – 91%.

We launched the first edition of the project at the end of 2017, involving almost 10,000 children from 35 schools in dolnośląskie province in two-stage physical activity.



We organise workshops on the importance of physical activity and healthy diet for children, parents, teachers and representatives of local authorities.
Together with the school and parents we develop ideas to implement more activity in school daily routine, e.g.: active breaks, lessons on the move or sports road to school.


Twice a year we measure the level of physical activity among children in fourth, fifth and sixth grade (optionally 1-3) in a specially designed space that we bring to schools. These are nine stations with EuroFit+ physical exercises such as long jump, stamina test or pole hang. Thanks to this test teachers and parents can find out the initial level of physical activity among children and the results of introduced training plans.

Active MultiSport Schools is a project which proves that interesting sports classes build children's engagement. EuroFit+ performance test is conducted in schools in the form of a feature game, which combines physical activity and technology that children love. The task for pupils joining the project is to conquer monsters from the Immobility Galaxy while performing specific exercises (based on the EuroFit European physical activity test). Children enter a colourful world and their struggle is accompanied by sounds, animations and gadgets.
The results from the EuroFit+ test are calculated into points in an interschool tournament. Schools, which implemented most interesting projects of activating pupils or made the biggest progress in physical activity among pupils, received grants to buy sports equipment worth 85,000 PLN in total.
Additionally, in 2018 the Active MultiSport Schools Programme became a part of the National Sports Day and Winter National (Zimowy Narodowy). In 2018 the initiative was presented at the "Movement to Move" international conference organised in Australia by Active Healthy Kids Global Alliance (AHKGA). At the conference the organising committee awarded the Active MultiSport Schools Programme. More information about the project can be found on www.aktywneszkoly.pland fb.com/AktywneSzkołyMultiSport.

The main objective of Benefit Systems S.A. is to promote an active lifestyle. We believe that being more active means more energy, health, well-being and, as a result – a better life. Better life is also connected with looking after the environment which we all live in. Therefore, we believe that it is Benefit Systems responsibility to undertake activities that contribute to the protection of the environment and consider our impact on the surroundings as well as promote proenvironmental attitudes among our 39 Employees and Associates .
Benefit Systems Group's operations do not have a production character and so they do not have a significant negative impact on the environment. Nevertheless, we endeavour to minimise any, even smallest, harmful (from the point of view of the environment) effects of our operations and we look for pro-environmental solutions.
One of our goals in this area is to shape our Employees' sensitivity to environmental issues, not only in the context of their work but also their private life. We initiate various pro-environmental activities and we educate Employees in this matter. We follow our Environmental Policy, which defines our actions and commitments that we undertook in order to decrease negative impact on the environment. These include:

Both in the holding company's headquarters as well as in most of our fitness clubs we collect plastic caps as a part of charity campaigns. It also has a proenvironmental aspect and enables processing and recycling plastic.
The holding company's headquarters in Warsaw have the Green Office Certificate awarded by the Environmental Partnership Foundation. This certificate is granted to institutions, companies, non-profit organisations and local authorities that want to constantly improve, undertake new pro-environmental initiatives and strengthen their pro-environmental image. Getting the certificate was a multi-stage process which ended with a certifying audit. Within the certification process we organised pro-environmental workshops for Employees, we created the Environmental Policy and we introduced biodegradable detergents. In 2019 we plan to get the Green Office certificate granted by the international Foundation for Environmental Education.

In 2018 we continued our own pro-environmental programme called "Fair play with nature" which is addressed mainly to Employees in Benefit Systems headquarters but also to entities we cooperate with. By means of visual information (stickers and posters) in different parts of the office we educate our Employees and we tell them how to be more ECO (e.g.: switch off the lights, print only if you have to).

This report fulfils the obligation arising from the amended Accounting Act – Article 49b, section 2 and 3 – regarding extended non-financial reporting. It has been prepared as an aggregate and separate statement of an entity and capital group regarding non-financial information. The report reveals significant details concerning the policy and risk as well as undertaken activities and results connected with the environmental, social and employee matters, respect for human rights and counteracting corrupti on. It contains a description of the effects of various policies connected with these issues adopted by companies within Benefit Systems Group, including key nonfinancial efficiency indicators connected with the entity's operations.
Benefit Systems Group reports non-financial aspects of its operations as well as related objectives and responsible business practices on an annual basis within the time frame specified for annual financial statements. This report presents data for the period between 1 January 2018 and 31 December 2018 (unless stated otherwise).
The report contains a brief description of the entity's business model as well as a description of the Benefit Systems Group's particular operational segments: Sports Cards Segment, Foreign Countries Segment, Cafeteria Segment and Fitness Segment. It also presents the Group's social, environmental and economic results with the emphasis on the Sports Cards operational segment which has been the core of the Group's activities from the very beginning. The Cafeteria Segment represents much smaller scale of employment, revenues and assets but, being an important distribution channel for sports cards and extension of the holding company's non-financial benefits offer, it has been complementary to the Company's and the Group's flagship product practically from the start. The Fitness Segment, despite a growing number of Employees (and Associates) connected with it and growing revenues resulting from, among others, activating new entities expanding this business category, is a strategic in vestment in the delivery chain of the main product.

The structure of the Benefit Systems Group Non-Financial Report 2018 is based on five main areas of an organisation's evaluation which are taken into consideration in the B Corp certification process. The report includes Global Reporting Initiative international standards recommendations (GRI Standards).
In the report we place greatest emphasis on these issues that are particularly important for our sector and its surroundings and constitute a significant part of our business at the same time. The starting point for the content of this report was analysing the needs and expectations of our stakeholders as well as our Employees' and the management's perspective. The content of the report has been developed on the basis of knowledge gained, among others, during the Stakeholders Panel organised within the first reporting process for 2017. Apart from the invited guests (representatives of stakeholders), the panel was attended by independent external CSR consultants (CSRinfo) and people responsible for reporting CSR activities at the Company.
While preparing this report, we used Global Reporting Initiative international standards recommendations. The report for 2018 has been prepared according to the GRI Standards latest version, on the level of CORE application.
The reporting process conducted according to the GRI Standards recommendations enabled us to select the most important reporting aspects for Benefit Systems. According to the principle of materiality defined in the GRI Standards recommendations, the report refers to those aspects that reflect an organisation's significant economic, environmental and social impact or significantly affect stakeholders' opinions and decisions.
