Piotr Zych - Krakow Site Director, TE Connectivity

Our TE Connectivity teams will take part in the Poland Business Run for the sixth time, i.e. from the very beginning of our Krakow office. As usual, we have a large squad - we expect to have almost a hundred enthusiasts who want to run for a good cause. This year, we also managed to motivate several teams from our foreign offices, making Business Run a global event at TE Connectivity! From the perspective of the sponsor of Business Run, we can't wait not only for the run itself, but also for the whole atmosphere around this wonderful event - it's already a small holiday for us at the end of summer!

We wish good luck and great fun to all participants of the run, but above all we keep our fingers crossed for the beneficiaries of the Poland Business Run. May their lives be improved thanks to this great initiative!

Małgorzata Latkowska - HR Manager, Conduent

Conduent Poland based in Lodz, has been associated with Poland Business Run from the very beginning.

Another 9th year we support this wonderful initiative, and we are proud to be a part of it. Also this year, our employees have formed teams and will join the virtual race together soon. They train with great commitment to cover the distance of 4 km. Of course, not all are born runners, but they want to help at least once a year with this initiative.

All runners are aware that each notified Beneficiary counts on their support. It is phenomenal to see that from year to year more and more people sign up for the race and thus more can be helped.

Let’s run together on September 4! Run and help!

Michał Stępień - UBS Country Head Poland

Since the beginning of our journey in Poland we're actively supporting local communities, and together with the Poland Business Run we're helping them for the 12th year in a row now. Almost five hundred of our employees from all over the world are enthusiastically training, so that in September they can join this amazing initiative and help those in need.

For UBS, PBR is a great opportunity to come together for a good cause that guarantees an invaluable sense of fulfillment coming from helping the Foundation’s beneficiaries. Best wishes to all PBR participants - may each of the four kilometers you run bring you joy and satisfaction! Personally, I can't wait to join the runners and support people in need together!

Anna Urbańska - CEO, Standard Chartered Poland

This year, we will celebrate the 5th anniversary of Standard Chartered opening its office in Poland. This is also the fifth, jubilee year when we proudly support the Poland Business Run. Our involvement is already a tradition, with many colleagues joining the run every year to support the noble cause of helping the Foundation’s beneficiaries, but also integrate within their teams and feel the thrill of healthy sports rivalry. This year, we will meet in Cracow again, but also join the run in a virtual format, thanks to which our relay of good deeds will reach various corners of Poland. I’m crossing my fingers for all the runners – see you at the starting line on 3 September!

Radosław Świętoń - Head of People, EPAM Poland

EPAM’s involvement in Poland Business Run is almost a tradition now! In our dynamically developing company, which already employs over 5000 people in Poland, there is no shortage of active people with big hearts and a passion to help others. I’m happy to say that this year’s edition of the competition is record-breaking for us, as a total of 47 teams from EPAM Poland take part in it.

I keep my fingers crossed that our employees will achieve the same results in the run as in working with customers, i.e., satisfaction with the effect and positive emotions related to the achievement of a common goal. I also hope that the slogan that guides EPAMers this year, namely “Feel IT – Run IT – Win IT”, will be an inspiration for other participants of the run, and that the whole event will bring joy resulting from healthy competition and translate into real support for beneficiaries.

See you at the finish line!

Paweł Michalik - Head of ING Hubs Poland

I have to admit that I have no words to describe the pride of how we break records every year if it comes to the number of our teams that apply for the Poland Business Run. This is a clear proof of how important to ING Hubs Poland employees’ it is to help others. In September, our 110 teams, i.e. 550 people, will run the distance, which will help to the Foundation's beneficiaries. It makes me so happy and motivated. For years, I have been running myself in Poland Business Run. I would also like to thank our colleagues from other countries and ING entities, who supports the initiative. This year they will join our ranks for the third time on the run.

For seven years, we have been supporting the Foundation as the Main Sponsor of the event. Each time it was pleasure and a sense of self-fulfilment for all of us at ING Hubs Poland. I am sure that there are still many years of fruitful cooperation and helping ahead of us. I wish this year's runners strength in their legs and pure satisfaction.

ANETA DZIEDZIC - PMO & CSR Lead, HCL

Another year passed by but we at HCL Technologies in Poland still live be a motto: running a business - run for a good cause. Poland CSR agenda is full of initiatives that call for help and engage more and more employees to join us in these efforts. Poland Business Run 2022 is one of these that unities runners and non-runners around a good cause of helping people with disabilities. The recent times made us even stronger and more sensitive to those around us who suffer. We are energized and committed to create as much noise as possible to get all HCL'ites in Poland but not only to hear about Poland Business Run.

This year we will have one team from Italy to take part in virtual run and by this famous relay in Poland will become international event. At this occasion it's also worth to mention HCL Runners Club that has been formed to keep our teams engaged and motivated all year long by creating various opportunities to meet up and build team spirit.
