Grupa Azoty was Poland’s only company to accompany the Polish government delegation to the UN High Level Political Forum (HLPF) in New York. During the ministerial session, Jadwiga Emilewicz, Minister of Entrepreneurship and Technology, presented a report on the implementation in Poland of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Grupa Azoty, which discussed examples of its own best practices contributing to the implementation of the Agenda, played a major role in the presentation of the report. The described initiatives included the Product Stewardship programme, Idea4Azoty (a proprietary acceleration programme), as well as cooperation with SatAgro (a startup).

Grupa Azoty came first in the 12th edition of the Responsible Company Ranking, in the industrial production category. The Ranking lists Poland’s largest companies by the quality of their Corporate Social Responsibility management.

Grupa Azoty was awarded the coveted title of Ambassador of the Polska Chemia brand. The title was presented to Wojciech Wardacki, President of the Grupa Azoty Management Board, during the fifth Polska Chemia Congress.

On May 17th 2018, the Supervisory Board of Grupa Azoty S.A. passed resolutions approving appointments to the Company’s Management Board of the eleventh term.

High gas prices, changeable weather and growing urea imports were among key factors affecting the Grupa Azoty Group's Q1 performance. Strong results posted by Plastics and Pigments, efficient management of nitrogen, and coordinated maintenance shutdown
policy helped mitigate the impact of adverse market trends. As a result, the Group earned revenue of almost PLN 2.5bn, generating EBITDA of PLN 403m.
