On Monday, leaders of dozens of countries, and owners and CEOs of major companies arrived in the small Swiss town of Davos. The World Economic Forum is a place for unofficial meetings and official panel discussions. One of them, entitled “Why Poland”, gathered an exceptionally large audience, listening to the debate between the heads of the largest companies operating in EuropeCopy HTML Copy text
Poland is represented, among others, by President Andrzej Duda, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki and InPost founder Rafał Brzoska, who for several days will be meeting with their counterparts from around the world.
The representatives of the Polish government, institutions such as PZU or Pekao S.A., and companies such as Żabka and InPost argued that in times of crisis (the pandemic and later the war in Ukraine) and faced with the unstable supply chain, Poland could become an alternative to countries in the Far East for European investors.
Rafał Brzoska stressed that we must win the war across Poland’s eastern border at all costs and with joint efforts. He also talked about the development of InPost, which is a leader in its field not only in Poland but also in Europe.
According to Brzoska, where similar non-domestic companies, such as Instabox in the Netherlands or the UPS-owned Parcel Motel in Ireland, fail to establish a successful market presence and give up, InPost is flourishing. In the UK, it is growing faster than in Poland five years ago, just like it does in France, proving to the world that Polish companies can grow better and faster on a global scale than their Western competitors.
InPost and Ukraine
“We are definitely dedicated to helping our Ukrainian brothers”
– said Rafal Brzoska on CNN in 2022.
For Rafal Brzoska, charitable activity is also very important – something that he considers to be one of the basic pillars of contemporary business. Since the first day of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Rafal Brzoska has been personally involved in helping the people of Ukraine. For humanitarian transport, the company has provided hundreds of trucks and the work of thousands of its employees. By May 2022, InPost had transported over 6,000 tons of aid, both directly to Ukraine and in Poland for assistance to Ukrainian refugees.
