Participation of Polish specialists in THE "NEW KHARKHORUM CITY" competition announced by the Government of Mongolia for the construction of a new city.
It is with great satisfaction that we announce that after many years of participation of Polish specialists in the construction of industrial facilities in Mongolia, the Board Member of the European Business Club Poland Maciej Burchardt, President of Projekt Budu company together with a team of distinguished architects, planners, engineers and experts are participating in the competition called: THE “NEW KHARKHORUM CITY” OF MONGOLIA MASTER PLANNING OVERVIEW, CONCEPTS AND GUIDELINE FOR INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION” announced by the Government of Mongolia in the following announcement:
As of 2019, European Business Club Poland has been making efforts to attract Polish entrepreneurs to the Mongolian market. The Economic Missions of the European Business Club Poland to Mongolia, including the one organized on April 5-10, 2022 under the leadership of President Janusz Cieslak, served this purpose. The Mission included representatives of the aviation, construction, food, textile and legal industries. The contacts that were made at that time resulted in our invitation to participate in this competition. One of the participants of the Mission was President Maciej Burchardt, who on the spot became convinced of the great potential inherent in cooperation with Mongolian partners, particularly in the construction sector. And it was our colleague who took on the great challenge of building Mongolia’s new capital. It should be noted, however, that Maciej Burchardt thus refers to the great tradition of Polish-Mongolian cooperation, in which Polish engineers years ago assisted our friends in Mongolia in the design and construction of industrial facilities in Mongolia. Examples of their achievements include:
1. arch. Maria Nowak – Chief Designer of the thermal power plant in Ulan Bator
2. Eng. Piotr Wisniewski – responsible for the implementation of the Building Materials Production Plant in Mongolia
3. Eng. Anna Lewandowska – responsible for overseeing the modernization of key road sections in Mongolia
4. Eng. Zdzislaw Banasik – Chief Designer responsible for supervising the construction and implementation of the Building Carpentry and Furniture Combine in Ulan Bator
Participation in an international competition is a challenge, but also a great prestige. Therefore, together let’s keep our fingers firmly crossed for success in this endeavor. As Maciej Burchardt says: “we will try to meet all the requirements set by the organizers and create the best city for living, development and tourism.”
We wish you the best of luck!

Administrator EKB , ,

A member of the European Business Club Poland NTT System S.A. is a Polish leader in computer manufacturing and at the same time the first Polish company to receive the internationally valid TCO Certified Generation 8 certificate from the TCO Development organisation.

Obtaining the certificate required the implementation of all sustainability criteria covering both environmental and social responsibility in the product, supply chain and product manufacturing. This involved gaining the following ISO Certificates: ISO 9001 Quality Management, ISO45001 OHS Management, ISO 14001 Environmental Management, ISO 5001 Energy Management , ISO27001 Information Security. The company was the second in Poland to obtain the SA8000 social responsibility certificate.

 

The criteria also included hazardous substances, climate improvement, a comprehensive continuous product improvement system, natural resources conservation, waste prevention and pollution reduction. The company also had to participate in the supervision of due diligence in the purchase of conflict minerals necessary for the components assembled in the computers. TCO criteria extend the life of the products, require them to be solid and durable, so that they can be fixed and upgraded. A certified computer must meet all of the requirements in its product category in TCO Certified, and the production environment has to be sustainable. The fulfillment of all the criteria was verified by independent accredited experts from TUV Rheinland in Taiwan. The computers sent in for evaluation had to achieve CB product safety certification, meet very high requirements in terms of energy efficiency by meeting the Energy Star standard, in terms of loudness, and many other indicators. The certificate was granted on the basis of a very good result.

The obtained certificate is one of the most demanding and restrictive documents of its kind in the world, awarded to IT equipment manufacturers.

Management Board. “At the same time we are close to the ideas of sustainable development and social responsibility. That is why I am very excited that thanks to our efforts, we happen to be the only Polish manufacturer in this elite group of world moguls who can proudly boast the TCO certificate.”
