Grupa LOTOS S.A. - Integrated Annual Report 2012 LOTOS Integrated Annual Report 2012 / The Organization and its Report / The Organization / Business profile Business profile This Integrated Annual Report provides an overview of the activities of the Group of Grupa LOTOS S.A. ( the LOTOS Group or the Group ), with a particular focus on the LOTOS Group s parent entity Grupa LOTOS S.A. ( Grupa LOTOS, the Company or concern ). Grupa LOTOS is one of Europe s largest and most efficient oil companies. In terms of revenue generated in 2011, it is second of the 500 largest companies in Poland and sixth among the 500 largest companies in Central and Eastern Europe.* Grupa LOTOS is involved in the production and processing of crude oil as well as wholesale and retail sale of petroleum products. Our range includes unleaded gasoline, diesel oil, diesel oil for heating purposes (light fuel oil), aviation fuel and heavy fuel oil. We specialise in the production and sale of lubricating oils and bitumens. On average, every third vehicle in Poland is driven by fuel produced at the Grupa LOTOS refinery. The 2011-2015 strategy provides for the consolidation of the LOTOS Group s position as a strong, innovative and successfully developing entity, which plays a crucial role in ensuring Poland s energy security and operates in compliance with the principles of social responsibility and sustainable growth. Grupa LOTOS is a joint-stock company whose shares have been listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE) since June 2005. According to our Articles of Association, we operate in Poland and abroad. Apart from Grupa LOTOS (the parent entity and operator of the refinery in Gdańsk), the LOTOS Group comprises 17 other companies operating under the LOTOS name. Two of them are based outside Poland - one in Lithuania, and the other one in Norway. The LOTOS Group employs over 5,000 staff. Territory covered by the LOTOS Group's operations Through LOTOS Petrobaltic S.A. and LOTOS Exploration and Production Norge AS, we are engaged in the exploration for and production of crude oil from the Baltic Sea and the Norwegian Continental Shelf. We also have access to onshore oil deposits in Lithuania through the subsidiary AB LOTOS Geonafta. We are focusing our efforts on dynamically growing the hydrocarbon exploration and production segment, which is our strategic priority in the 6

years 2011-2015. In line with the strategy, crude oil production is expected to reach 1.2 million tonnes per year by 2015. In 2012, crude output was 262,300 tonnes, up 15.1% year on year. During the period under report, we had no plans for discontinuation of the production activities, we did not decommission any of the production sites nor are any of them in the process of being decommissioned. In 2012, the LOTOS Group s net profit came in at nearly PLN 923m, a 42% increase on the previous year. In the same period, we recorded PLN 33.1bn in revenue, a 13% improvement on 2011. Our performance was driven by several factors, including a record-high crude oil throughput at the Gdańsk refinery of almost 9.7 million tonnes in 2012 (up 5.6% on 2011). The LOTOS Group s main market is Poland, but our foreign sales also grow regularly. In 2012, export volumes accounted for 31% of the LOTOS Group s total sales - we distribute our products to 75 countries worldwide. Exports of LOTOS brand products LOTOS operates a country-wide chain of over 400 branded service stations (the third largest in Poland). Through our chain, we offer products and services in the premium segment, to which motorway service stations belong, and under the new LOTOS Optima brand in the economy segment. This is also the fastest growing chain of service stations in Poland. In 2012, the number of economy service stations doubled to 101 sites. As at the end of 2012, the LOTOS Group s share in retail fuel sales in Poland was 8%, while its share in the domestic fuel market stood at 34%. 7

NAFTOPORT Sp. z o.o., a company of the PERN Przyjaźń Group of Płock Within the LOTOS Group, the role of Grupa LOTOS as the parent entity is to integrate the key management and support functions. To this end, Grupa LOTOS has implemented a segmental management model. A segment is understood as a separate area of business activities managed at the Group level by a designated member of the Board of Grupa LOTOS. This model enhances management efficiency, delivering Group-wide cost and revenue synergies. Segmental management provides for consistent implementation of strategy, coordinated planning and controlling, integrated operational management and maintenance of uniform corporate standards. In the operational activities of the LOTOS Group, the following two main reporting operational segments can be identified: Extraction operational segment comprising activities concerning exploration for and exploitation of crude oil and natural gas deposits; 14

Production and marketing operational segment comprising activities of companies concerned with production and processing of refined petroleum products as well as their retail and wholesale, and support, transport and servicing activities. For management purposes, the LOTOS Group is divided into the following business units based on the industry segments: Management segment falls within the remit of the President of the Board (i.e. the head of the management segment). The management segment s activities are focused on increasing the LOTOS Group value through overall management of its operations, including coordination of efforts to formulate corporate strategies, define development directions for individual business areas and coordinate the process support function. Exploration & production segment falls within the remit of the Vice-President of the Board in charge of Oil and Gas Exploration & Production (i.e. the head of the E&P segment). The scope of the E&P segment s activities includes formulation of development strategies for the LOTOS Group in the area of oil and gas exploration and production, as well as management and supervision of these activities. LOTOS Petrobaltic and its affiliates are part of the exploration & production segment. Operational segment falls within the remit of the Vice-President of the Board, Chief Operation Officer (i.e. the head of the operational segment).

Beyond that, the operational segment prepares policy objectives for refinery production, supervises production-related R&D work, coordinates technical and technological development projects, and ensures the requisite technical performance of the LOTOS Group s assets, safety processes and physical protection. LOTOS Ochrona, LOTOS Straż, LOTOS Serwis, LOTOS Lab, LOTOS Jasło and LOTOS Czechowice and its affiliates are all part of the operational segment. LOTOS Ochrona was transferred to the operational segment in October 2012. Previously, it had been allocated to the management segment; Marketing segment falls within the remit of the Vice-President of the Board, Chief Commercial Officer (i.e. the head of the marketing segment). The marketing segment s tasks include formulation of marketing strategies as well as effective management of sales, supplies and distribution of crude oil and petroleum products. It is also responsible for the development of trading and optimisation activities. LOTOS Paliwa, LOTOS Oil, LOTOS Asfalt, LOTOS Kolej and LOTOS Tank are all part of the marketing segment; Financial segment falls within the remit of the Vice-President of the Board, Chief Financial Officer (i.e. the head of the financial segment).

Improve segmental reporting, Enhance the communication process, Optimise areas related to financial and accounting support, CSR and sponsorship, IT management, financial risk management and asset management. Breakdown of the operational segments As at December 31st 2012 The corporate structure of Grupa LOTOS reflects its division of competences and the relationship between the various functions and tasks performed at the Company, and specifies the organizational and management hierarchy. As at the end of 2012, the corporate structure of Grupa LOTOS comprised the following units: 15 divisions, including 5 divisions reporting directly to the Chief Executive Officer, 35 offices, 19 departments, and 8 complexes. 16

Grupa LOTOS S.A. - Integrated Annual Report 2012 LOTOS Integrated Annual Report 2012 / The Organization and its Report / Integrated Reporting Integrated Reporting The Annual Report of the LOTOS Group for 2012 is an integrated report covering the organization s operations in the financial year 2012, which coincides with the calendar year. The previous integrated annual report was published in April 2012. In 2007-2009, we published separate reports on the financial and non-financial aspects of our activity. In 2010, the Company s Board decided to integrate the reports for stakeholders presenting the organization s management approach and performance across all areas of its activity, i.e. economic, social and environmental. This publication is our fourth integrated report. The Grupa LOTOS Board s intent is to enable stakeholders to make a comprehensive, measurable and objective assessment of our overall involvement in sustainable development through an integrated and reader-friendly presentation of our financial statements and non-financial reports for a given year. We follow the best communication practices applicable to public companies: For financial reporting, we adhere to the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as endorsed by the European Union, published and in effect as at December 31st 2012, For non-financial reporting, we adhere to the Sustainability Reporting Framework and Guidelines of the Global Reporting Initiative (G3.1 GRI, with the Oil and Gas Sector Supplement) and the United Nations Global Compact s Principles. We are at Application Level A+* in the three-level GRI reporting system. * The individual Application Levels were assigned letters from C (the lowest), to C+ (where a + is given if a report has been verified by an independent assurance body), B, B+, A, through to A+. The reporting criteria used for each level measure the extent to which the Guidelines and the GRI Reporting Framework have been applied. For integrated reporting, there are currently no uniform, internationally recognised standards. In 2010, the Global Reporting Initiative and the Prince's Accounting for Sustainability Project established the International Integrated Reporting Committee (IIRC), whose aim is to establish an internationally recognised framework for integrated reporting. The IIRC believes that integrating financial analysis with analysis of the social, environmental and economic context of a company s operations is a valuable source of information, allowing its stakeholders to assess its long-term profitability. 2012 research conducted together by the Black Sun agency and the IIRC revealed that integrated reporting allows better insight into how an organisation will generate future value. The integrated reporting model offers improved coherence in corporate communication with third parties and improved quality of the data collected. Those bound to benefit the most from the new reporting models include analysts and corporate reporting staff. As we wait for the new reporting standard to emerge, we consistently strive to improve the adopted model, using best available practice in financial and non-financial reporting. In our work on this Report we embraced the key principles of accuracy, materiality, completeness, comparability, balance and reliability. All data contained in this Report was collected in a reliable and responsible manner, and verified as being consistent with the facts. 17

The consolidated financial statements of the LOTOS Group included in this Report were audited by qualified auditors at Ernst & Young, pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 7 of the Polish Accountancy Act of September 29th 1994 (Dz.U. of 2009, No. 152, item 1223, as amended), and the Polish financial auditing standards issued by the National Council of Statutory Auditors (Krajowa Rada Biegłych Rewidentów). To ensure an appropriate level of transparency and credibility, in 2011 the Board of Grupa LOTOS decided that thirdparty assurance of non-financial data included in the Annual Report should be provided by an independent body. Limited assurance provided in 2013 by PwC complied with the International Standard on Assurance Engagements (3000 ISAE, Assurance Engagements Other Than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information). ISAE 3000 was issued by the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC). The standard is based on IFAC s Code of Conduct and the International Standard of Quality Control (ISQC-1), and is used to provide assurance with respect to CSR reports. The Standard defines the key principles and procedures for assurance engagements, including limited assurance engagements. The Board of Grupa LOTOS has resolved to publish annual implementation progress reports on the LOTOS Group's CSR strategy. The Annual Report for 2012 is our second report with independently verified CSR information, and we have made every effort to ensure the quality of the data collection process which is supported by the organization s management systems. Driven by environmental concerns, we are publishing this Report in electronic form only. This also serves the intention of providing readers with the most convenient range of solutions to making this publication a friendly tool, with which to perform their own analyses. Part of this are the functional solutions embedded in the electronic format, which are updated regularly based on, for example, stakeholder opinion polls or the appraisal of traffic to the webpage featuring the Report. Readers can display selected numerical data by periods, GRI indicators, operating segments, etc. Information included in the Report is integrated with the contents of the Company s website, which includes reports from previous years. Accessibility options such as Narration, a high-contrast mode and text zoom, have been added for people with disabilities, the elderly and the vision impaired. Environmental friendliness is ensured by an economical printout option, and there is also an option for readers to leave feedback.

Grupa LOTOS S.A. - Integrated Annual Report 2012 LOTOS Integrated Annual Report 2012 / The Organization and its Report / Integrated Reporting / Scope and reach Scope and reach In determining the content of the non-financial sections of the Annual Report, we were guided by the GRI Reporting Framework. The information contained in the Report was selected based on the materiality criterion, which we define as being the potential to affect our enterprise's compliance with sustainable development principles, as well as our external stakeholders when looking for reliable, comparable and accurate information with which to inform their decisions. The non-financial information of this Report was prepared using the majority of core and additional indicators provided for in the GRI Guidelines, including economic, environmental and social performance. An important improvement on the previous report is our use, for the first time, of the newly established GRI Oil & Gas Sector Supplement. This adds additional indicators to the Report designed specifically for our industry. The Supplement itself was prepared using the G3.1 GRI Guidelines, which created the need to update the indicators reported in previous years based on G3 Guidelines. Although we had no obligation to do so, we wanted to include the Sector Supplement, so migration to the new revision of the Guidelines proved inevitable. The methods used to calculate the figures presented in this Report were the same as those used in preparation of the LOTOS Group s consolidated financial statements for 2012. These methods are in accordance with the IFRS effective as at December 31st 2012. For a vast majority of thematic areas, the facts and non-financial data presented in the Report pertain to Grupa LOTOS, the parent entity. However, all due care and consideration has been given on our part to account for the LOTOS Group s consolidated data where possible. Regarding areas of key importance to social and environmental responsibility, we have presented data on the largest commercial companies of the group and, as a natural addition to the Sector Supplement, on the LOTOS Petrobaltic Group. In each case, we make a clear distinction by specifically indicating the LOTOS Group entity currently being discussed in the Report. Whenever we refer to the largest commercial companies of the LOTOS Group (both in terms of revenue and head count), this applies to LOTOS Asfalt, LOTOS Kolej, LOTOS Oil and LOTOS Paliwa. This Report is our first attempt at a comprehensive presentation of results from the largest of the LOTOS Petrobaltic Group companies active in the exploration and production business. After the parent, LOTOS Petrobaltic (operating in Poland), these include LOTOS Geonafta in Lithuania and LOTOS Norge in Norway. The Report also considers another vital company of the group, Energobaltic, which is a CHP operator in Władysławowo. Since this is the first reporting period following the implementation of the Sector Supplement, it has not been possible to present all results of the companies covered by the Report in a uniform and consistent manner. However, given the challenges of sustainable development that lie ahead for the production business, we decided to present the collected data anyway. In subsequent reports, we will strive to improve the aggregation method for non-financial data on entities operating in the exploration and production segment. The current Report offers a larger pool of performance indicators reported by the above-mentioned commercial c ompanies. This results from continuous improvements in non-financial reporting, now more geared towards the broadest-possible presentation of the scale and nature of the impact of our operations, products and services on key stakeholders and the environment. 19

In the previous reporting period, no material changes or other circumstances occurred with respect to the LOTOS Group s entities which would affect the overall assessment of the organisation, either in terms of its individual activities or in comparison with its domestic peers. In January 2012, Grupa LOTOS sold 100% of the shares in LOTOS Parafiny, one of its marketing segment companies. Results from LOTOS Parafiny are no longer presented in this Annual Report.

The Annual Report for 2012 accounts for a total of 84 GRI indicators, relative to 74 indicators in 2011. We decided to discontinue reporting of twelve indicators: HR5, HR6, HR7, HR9, HR10, HR11, EN2, OG2, OG3, OG9, OG12 core indicators, and the HR9 additional indicator, as the issues they cover were deemed immaterial to our organization.

Grupa LOTOS S.A. - Integrated Annual Report 2012 LOTOS Integrated Annual Report 2012 / The Organization and its Report / Stakeholders Stakeholders We have defined three key stakeholder groups in the LOTOS Group's Corporate Social Responsibility Strategy for 2012-2015. Each is taken into account in the decision-making processes having an actual or potential impact on their representatives. We endeavour to build positive relations with all these groups, although the extent and nature of our impact on them, as well as their expectations of us, tend to differ. We identified the individual stakeholder groups in the course of preparing our Corporate Social Responsibility Strategy in 2011. At that time, we invited their representatives to participate in the consultations on our strategic objectives in the area of corporate social responsibility. Further, in pursuit of our CSR Strategy, we also perform periodical assessment of individual social initiatives, e.g. surveys among the beneficiaries of our activities.

Our commitment to the improvement of communication practices is visible from our discussion of the issue in our Code of Ethics, in place since 2013. Effective communication, the aim of which is to facilitate understanding of assigned objectives and tasks, is key to strong employee performance. We make every effort to ensure that the rules governing the internal flow of information in the LOTOS Group are understandable and precise. In employee interactions, we value the willingness to cooperate and make concessions, exemplified by open and professional communication and active solicitation of feedback. We respond to proposed internal communications improvements and help build and enhance the interpersonal skills of our employees. We seek to maintain open and responsible communication with our external partners, without compromising their reputation or commitments. Source: The LOTOS Group s Code of Ethics 31

Grupa LOTOS S.A. - Integrated Annual Report 2012 LOTOS Integrated Annual Report 2012 / The Organization and its Report / Stakeholders / Stakeholders involvement Stakeholders involvement Discussions with stakeholders of issues relating to the social and environmental impact of our business are valuable opportunities for learning how to improve our performance. We also engage in extensive communications and public consultations in order to improve our corporate practices. In 2011, a number of diverse stakeholder engagement methods were used in an in-depth manner and on a large scale during the public consultations in course of the work on the updated LOTOS Group s Corporate Social Rersponsibility Strategy. The process itself as well as the conclusions to be drawn from it were presented in detail in the 2011 Integrated Annual Report (http://2011.raportroczny.lotos.pl/en). In 2012, we created an opportunity to meet with stakeholders using a variety of means at our disposal. These included: Public consultations, Knowledge-sharing workshops, Conferences promoting good practices, Multi-directional communication, Opinion polling. Public consultations with employees One of the key objectives of the LOTOS Group s CSR strategy is the improvement of management processes by ensuring ethical conduct and transparency of business processes. Achievement of this goal is dependent on the implementation of a significant project - our comprehensive Ethical Conduct Programme. In mid-2012, the Company s Board resolved to appoint a special team to formulate assumptions and develop the process and organization-related solutions necessary for successful implementation of the Ethical Conduct Programme. The need to improve ethical standards at the LOTOS Group was confirmed by our employees, not only in the course of the work on the CSR Strategy, but also in an opinion poll on ethical issues conducted in the spring of 2012. Over 170 respondents indicated a risk of corruption and conflict of interests, the maintenance of professional secrecy and the 33

transparency of business partner selection processes as issues which needed to be addressed in the Code of Ethics. Equal employment, advancement, and career development opportunities were identified as being equally important. As the Code of Ethics is one of the most important elements of the Ethical Conduct Programme, in 2012 we began work on formulating its contents. The programme is a means of implementing and monitoring ethical standards at the company, facilitating proper conduct and supporting the moral behaviour of employees. Ethical Conduct Programmes typically comprises a number of solutions and functions, such as a Code of Ethics, tools for reporting breaches of the Code, an Ethics Officer, and education on ethics-related issues. A set of standards and principles of conduct applicable across the organization, based on adopted core values and issues identified by employees as needing regulation. As the foundation of the Ethical Conduct Programme, the Code of Ethics provides a kind of moral compass guiding employee s actions and motivations in their everyday work. The LOTOS Group s Code of Ethics is addressed to all employees, regardless of their place within the organization, job title or type of work performed. Therefore, we decided to ensure the possibility of participating in the public consultations of the draft document to every one of our over five thousand employees, in Poland, Lithuania and Norway. Needless to say, these were the most extensive consultations on a document in the company. Staff meetings were preferred as the means of sharing the contents of the draft Code, and we spent three weeks at the end of 2012 arranging the meetings. Over 400 members of the management were responsible for carrying out the consultations. At the staff meetings, we: Explained the importance of the Code of Ethics and its role as the key component of the Ethical Conduct Programme, Presented the drafting methodology for the document, Shared the contents of the Code of Ethics, Elicited comments, questions and amendment proposals from the employees, Clarified any doubts raised by the employees. During the consultations, employees raised over 300 questions and comments, and made proposals for amendments to some of the provisions. The main page of the Ethical Conduct Programme subservice was visited more than 2,300 times in its first three weeks. The letter posted on our intranet from the President of the Grupa LOTOS Board, encouraging active participation in the discussion on the document, received over 1,500 hits. 1,500 copies of a special publication accompanying the consultations were handed out. Such active, two-way communication ensured that all our employees had a strong influence on the final version of the Code of Ethics. Once the consultation period had ended and the submitted comments taken into account, in December 2012 the Board of Grupa LOTOS finally adopted the LOTOS Group s Code of Ethics. The document became effective in January 2013 and is publicly available on the our website (http://odpowiedzialny.lotos.pl/en/912/our_responsibility).
