In mid-April this year. The Supervisory Board of Elewarr, in consultation with the authorities of the National Food Group, announced the qualification procedure for the new president and vice-president of the management board of Elewarr. But there are attempts to change the Company’s Supervisory Board itself.
The current president of Elewarr – Hubert Grzegorczyk – will say goodbye to his position on April 30 this year.
As you can easily guess – the reason is probably the company’s poor financial results, as farmer.pl wrote here:
Two announcements about qualification procedures were published on the Elewarr website: for the positions of President of the Management Board and Vice-President of the Management Board of Elewarr Sp. z o. o. You can submit your candidacies until April 23, the offers will be opened a day later. Job interviews will take place in Toruń.
Also dismiss the Supervisory Board of Elewarr
In a letter to the Minister of State Assets, the “Korona” Agricultural Trade Union expressed reservations about the announced procedure for selecting the new president of Elewarr, noting that:
– Elewarr’s estimated loss for the current year is approximately PLN 40 million. The company faces the risk of lack of its own working capital. However, the Supervisory Board of Elewarr sp. z o. o. did not take any effective actions to remedy the situation. And it is this council that will conduct the competition procedure and evaluate candidates, among others. in terms of company management? – emphasizes ZZR “Korona”.
The Association also notes that a questionable factor in the competition is the fact that the competition activities are to take place in Toruń, while the Company’s headquarters, according to the contract, is in Warsaw. In the competition procedure, the requirements for candidates did not include the requirement to declare a clean criminal record (which was in the previous competition in 2022).
Suspicion of bias
– The competition proceedings will be conducted by the Supervisory Board, which has breached the company’s articles of association at least twice by extending the temporary delegation of one of its members to serve on the management board. Pursuant to the company’s articles of association, the supervisory board may delegate a person to serve on the management board only for a period of 3 months (and not for 9 months). In case law (e.g. judgment of the District Court in Łódź of April 28, 2015, ref. no. is to extend the secondment for another 3 months. Meanwhile, the same member of the supervisory board, co-responsible for the current financial result, will evaluate candidates for the management board? In light of the above, suspicions of bias may arise – emphasizes ZZR “Korona”.
Due to the above and the fact that the current president was dismissed on April 30, ZZR KORONA asked for action to be taken to dismiss the current council (appointed in July last year under PiS), temporarily appoint an acting president of the company and appoint a new council, which will elect the president.
