This is the example of the responsible behaviour of the business company towards its environment, without particular measurable results. Generally, the results of the responsible behaviour of the company may be characterized by the following facts:
- Gradual growth of the number of the partner towns /municipalities (also the number of customers),
- Stabile supplier- customer relationships,
- Low extent of fluctuation of company′s employees, particularly in the professional positions.

Low unemployment, lack of qualified labour forces, particularly in the technical branches, lack of the labour forces for the work positions with the low qualifications.
Solution: Stabile, professional and fair work environment (see above).
