Małgorzata Markowska, Promotion & Communication Manager at GLS Poland

GLS Poland has once again become the main sponsor and logistics partner of the Poland Business Run – an event we look forward to all year! In this edition, we will deliver around 5,000 parcels, providing starter kits to 26,000 people across Poland. At GLS, we believe there is a story behind each parcel. We are honored that along with deliveries, we can provide help and hope to those who need it most, creating a better tomorrow together. See you at the starting line!

Karolina Jagodzińska – GOkidz! Amusement Park Manager

Poland Business Run combines what we love most about the GOkidz!, GOjump, and GOair parks - physical activity, great fun and a noble cause. Being a partner of the children's run is a great honor. We are excited to join the event with our main mission of enhancing children's superpowers. We can't wait to meet you on the starting line, and at our booth on September 8th!

Mariusz Sosna, Cluster Lead at ING Hubs Poland

Helping others is an integral part of our organisation, therefore supporting such initiatives as Poland Business Run is an indispensable element of our company life. And when we thought we had already broken all possible records, our employees showed that the sky is a limit! They have submitted 164 teams which gives us 820 people and first place on the Poland Business Run team ranking. I am proud that our employees open their hearts to help others - for many, this is the only long distance to run in a year. And all for a common purpose. I think that we also have a lot of sports flair and passion for gamification. The Management Team will also join the ranks of our runners. With what effect, we will see, but the most important thing is that we run for one purpose – to help the beneficiaries of Poland Business Run.

At ING Hubs Poland we are active in the field of Diversity & Inclusion focusing on ensuring that all our employees feel included in every respect. One of the so-called Diversity Groups is Support Disabilities and Neurodiversity Group which supports and broadens the knowledge of disabilities and neurodiversity.

I wish all runners a good start and satisfaction from every mile run. See you on 8 September!

Katarzyna Mastek - Brand Manager, I.D.C. Polonia S.A.

We always associate Poland Business Run with an atmosphere full of positive energy. Góralki brand will once again be included in starting packages for runners to add joy to them both during training and while running. Our runners from Góralki’s teams already registered for the next edition after last year's race. For us, it is a perfect combination of passion, sport, spending time together and, above all, helping! 

We are glad that the Góralki brand will once again contribute to this initiative! We run and help, BECAUSE!

Aleksandra Robaszkiewicz, Corporate Affairs and CSR Director, Lidl Poland

People are at the center of our interests and activities, which is why one of the key areas of our CSR strategy is involvement in dialogue and health promotion. We have been a partner of Poland Business Run since 2017. We are glad that by participating in this initiative, we support people with disabilities, and promote a healthy lifestyle and physical activity.

The event is very popular among our employees - we are one of the largest corporate teams that take part in Poland Business Run. Our employees praise this event because of the opportunity to integrate and experience positive emotions resulting from sports competition.

LION PAAUWE – GBS HUB LEADER, HUNTSMAN

At Huntsman we are sometimes in a run, racing against the calendar and deadlines, but for the Poland Business Run we always find the heart, energy and time!

Every year we impatiently count down the days to the run, remembering well the emotion and excitement of the previous edition. We are happy that this year we will experience it all again. Although our employees are active in their blood and don't need to be persuaded to run, the Poland Business Run is for us first and foremost a way to show what we like to do most: help. That's why we regularly engage in a number of truly supportive initiatives, and one of them is participating in a business relay that changes the lives of people with mastectomies and disabilities. I don't know of a better combination of sports passion, healthy exercise, strengthening team bonds, and community action that translates in a straight line into support for thousands of PBR Foundation Beneficiaries. The benefits alone! There is no easier (and healthier!) way to change the world.

We will be proud of every kilometer run by our employees on September 8. See you at the starting line!

Piotr Zych - Krakow Site Director, TE Connectivity

From the very beginning of our Krakow office, TE Connectivity teams have been taking part in the Poland Business Run and this means they we will be running together for the seventh year! As usual, we are registering a large team and for the first time there will be over a hundred of TE runners! It has also become even more international this year - India, Mexico and the USA will join the usual spots on our internal PBR map (Switzerland and Costa Rica). At TE Connectivity, it is truly global event. From the perspective of the Business Run sponsor, we are looking forward to not only the run itself, but also the entire atmosphere of this wonderful event – a tradition without which we cannot imagine the September calendar in our office.

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 Poland Business Run. May their lives improve thanks to this wonderful initiative!

Natalia Selinger, Managing Director, HR Director, Luxoft

Participation in the Poland Business Run is more than just an opportunity to run five kilometers in teams made up of colleagues. It is a blend of the pleasant and the worthwhile - we take care of our own health and fitness while supporting charity action. Every meter we complete during the run is a gesture of solidarity for the foundation's beneficiaries, and for us is a step towards better health – physical and mental. At Luxoft Poland, the well-being of the entire team is extremely valuable to us, which is why we are proud to see the interest in the Poland Business Run grow each year among our employees. 

Michał Stępień - UBS Country Head Poland

Poland Business Run has become an inseparable part of our calendars 13 years ago! At UBS, we’re proud to jointly help more than 1000 beneficiaries of the Foundation during this time, and we look forward to supporting more people during this year's edition.

In September, 500 of our runners will stand on the starting line, and hundreds of their colleagues and close ones will cheer them on. Through PBR we can not only help the local community, but also integrate and unite! Personally, I find it extremely inspiring to observe people supporting each other on the route of the run, and then celebrating together, enjoying the feeling of satisfaction after supporting the good cause. I am already counting down the days until I will be able to join the PBR participants and run with them! 

Best wishes to all the runners - may each of the four kilometers of the route bring you joy and satisfaction! 

Anna Urbańska, CEO, Standard Chartered Poland

Our involvement in Poland Business Run is not only the logo on the T-shirt, but above all, a group of colleagues with big hearts. For 6 years now, our teams have been running in the relay to break their own records, integrate with teammates, and most importantly, support the Foundation's Beneficiaries. The virtual format of the race helps us better connect within teams. Our flexible work model allows us to work on complex tasks from various places. It is nothing strange then that our runners may be in the Tatra Mountains, in Warsaw or at the Baltic Sea at the same time. Poland Business Run fulfils of our brand promise - we are here for good. It gives us the opportunity to support those who really need our help.

ANETA DZIEDZIC – PMO & CSR LEAD, HCLTech POLAND

We are proud to continue sponsoring of the Poland Business Run 2024. This year, we are excited to set the bar higher by becoming a Golden Sponsor, further demonstrating our commitment to this cause. Our ongoing support stems from the positive impact the event has on the community, particularly in aiding individuals with motor disabilities. The run aligns with our corporate values of promoting health, inclusivity, and social responsibility, while also fostering team spirit and engagement among our employees. We look forward to continuing our partnership and making an even greater difference together.

Jon Bury – Head of Warsaw office, goldman sachs

We are very excited and proud to be involved as a sponsor of the Poland Business run for the seventh consecutive year. The business run is one of our flagship Community TeamWorks events and offers an opportunity for Goldman Sachs Employees to both raise funds for a very worthwhile cause, but also in a normal year contribute to the running of the event as well. This year we look forward to participating in the virtual event and wish everyone taking part a safe and enjoyable run.

Stéphane Bernard CEO Euroclear Bank Krakow

Euroclear, on your marks, get set, go! This year, for the 12th time, we will join the Poland Business Run - an event that has become an integral part of our company culture and one that we look forward to all year long. We are proud of our cooperation with the Foundation and that we can support it both as a sponsor and as active participants in the run.

Poland Business Run is not only a chance to help others, but also an excellent opportunity to promote an active lifestyle and discover new passions, and that's what encourages our colleagues to participate every year. Our Euroclear branch in Kraków is growing and changing dynamically, and our commitment to this initiative remains unchanged!
