Ethics in the digital workplace
Digitisation and automation technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), can affect working conditions in a variety of ways and their use in the workplace raises a host of new ethical concerns.
Jeremias, a German manufacturer of ventilation systems and chimneys, has started production in a new production hall in Gębarzewo, where it will employ 112 people from now on.
The new production facility is a cooperation between the Jeremias company and the Polish Prison Service. Thus, employment in the new hall is created for inmates serving sentences at the Gębarzewo prison. The new production hall was opened on 31 July 2023 at the Gębarzew prison. The construction of the hall is one of the elements of the Polish Ministry of Justice's activities concerning work for prisoners and increasing employment and vocational rehabilitation among people serving sentences in a high-security prison.
Jeremias is an international company founded in Germany, producing chimneys and exhaust systems for private, commercial, and industrial use, and has been present on the market for more than 50 years.
