Our stakeholders

GRI
  • 102-40

Our key stakeholder groups include customers, sellers, business partners and suppliers, employees, local communities and non-governmental organizations, administration, national and international regulators, the stock exchange environment and the business environment. Thanks to the implementation of dialogue programs with stakeholders and involving them in the company’s activities, we can make better business decisions, manage risk more efficiently, develop development plans and strengthen innovation, as well as verify our company’s activities on an ongoing basis.

In order to effectively manage relations with stakeholders, we have prepared a detailed map of key stakeholders.

The stakeholder matrix is a tool that supports us in selecting the stakeholders we interact with. It allows us to adjust both the contact channels and its frequency. Appropriate communication channels have been allocated for each group.

Green Generation 2.0 Raport

At Allegro, we conduct research and analysis regarding our activities and our environment. Research teams provide information, conclusions and recommendations to the daily work of hundreds of people at Allegro. We constantly monitor the Internet and conduct media reviews. We are also a partner of consumer research, such as the Green Generation 2.0 Report on environmental awareness of Poles and other issues.

Selected conclusions from the April 2021 study “Green Generation 2021. Together for the Earth” (“Green Generation 2021. Wspólnie na rzecz Ziemi”), of which Allegro was a partner:

  1. 85% of respondents notice various unsustainable practices of stores when shopping online. Consumers pay attention in particular to the suboptimal packing of parcels (in foil, too large cartons, with too many, often unsustainable, fillers). They also see the negative impact of product returns (39%), and see a chance to improve this issue in better and more accurate product descriptions in e-shops
  2. 55% of respondents describe ecology as a conscious choice and an attitude that does not pass.
  3. “Circular economy as an economic concept in which products, materials and raw materials should remain in the economy as long as possible, and waste generation should be minimized as much as possible” is quite close to Poles. On a scale of 1-6, the respondents rate this closeness at 3.81.
  4. 31% of Internet users would like to choose ecological packaging for an additional fee.
  5. 33% of respondents would like to use the option of reusable parcel packaging, which should be returned to the indicated place.
  6. 33% of respondents are prepared to walk up to 5 minutes from their location to pick up a package from a pickup point instead of having it delivered by a courier. 22% declare that they are ready to walk within 20 minutes to collect the package.
  7. 35% of respondents believe that their approach to ecology influences more informed purchasing decisions.

Last mile

Our research (also involving external stakeholders) includes topics related to the so-called last mile, i.e. the area of logistics, mature Internet users or the attractiveness of sustainable packaging for sellers. The conclusions we draw are used to develop our projects and initiatives. We also conduct our own surveys, meetings with customers and business partners, including individual and group interviews, and usability tests.

The rapid development of e-commerce has an impact on Polish cities. Therefore, as Allegro, we held a working meeting on delivery practices and what impact they have on the immediate environment. We invited experts from various industries and representatives of urban movements from the largest Polish cities. In total, 21 people took part in the workshop, which took place on April 8, 2021. The meeting was moderated by Fundacja Stocznia (Shipyard Foundation). The conclusions from the meeting, broken down into the diagnostic part (describing the current industry practices) and the recommendation part (collecting the proposed solutions), are listed in the summary.

We conducted a separate survey in March 2021, asking stakeholders what important topics should be included in the sustainability report. See more
