ABOUT US
OUR MAIN POSTULATES:
Better economic laws
Friendly climate
for entrepreneurship
Cheaper and more effective state
Development of social dialogue
We are the most influential Polish business organisation
representing employers’ interests in Poland and in the European
Union. Our aim is to support companies’ development. We
strive for stable economic growth, better legislation, healthy
competition, more jobs and reinforced social capital. We associate
3,900 companies, which employ 835,000 workers.
Our mission is to provide the best business con-ditions and support companies’ competitiveness. For this reason, we are active in Poland, in the European Union and internationally. We are the only Polish employers’ organisation with an office in Brussels since 2001. We also are a member of BUSINESSEUROPE, an organisation representing European employers’ interests (41 business organ-isations from 35 countries, associating companies which employ 120 million workers). Our team of experienced experts and advisors cooperates with decision-makers on an ongoing basis. Lewiatan representatives sit on 450 councils, committees, groups and other decision-making bodies, among
others: European Commission, Economic Council for the Prime Minister, BIAC, European Social and Economic Committee, supervisory boards of the Social Insurance Institution (ZUS) and the State Fund for Rehabilitation of Disabled Persons (PFRON), National Employment Council, and Pro-vincial Social Dialogue Committee (WKDS). We are a member of the Tripartite Commission. The confederation was founded in 1999. In 2004, we took over the tradition of a pre-war organisation of the Central Association of Polish Industry, Mining, Trade and Finance Lewiatan, and added the word “Lewiatan” to our name.

Lewiatan’s strength lies in its extensive economic,
industry-specific and macroeconomic expertise
and engagement in social projects. These features
make us recognisable and credible in the eyes of
stakeholders.
SOCIAL PROJECTS
We conduct projects on important social issues and we are often at the forefront of introducing changes. Thanks to our achievements and competences, we have received funding from the European Union in the amount of 40 million zlotys. As part of our projects, we provide information, organise conferences and debates throughout Poland, produce publications and conduct research.

Reports and scientific projects conducted by Lewiatan in cooperation with members are indispensable to our expertise. We are conducting among others: a study “Monitoring the situation of SMEs in Poland”, a study “Ranking of innovative companies”, a study of big companies, etc. Jointly with universities, we are preparing reports, e.g. on competitiveness in Poland (under the guidance of Prof. Jerzy Hausner) and “A Democratic Audit of Poland 2014” (under the guidance of Prof. Radosław Markowski).
SOCIAL CAMPAIGNS
Lewiatan has been conducting campaigns which support long-term economic growth in Poland and reinforce social capital. We are engaged in a number of partner projects, e.g. Kultura się liczy (Culture counts), Dojrzałość w sieci (Online maturity), Internetowa rewolucja (Internet revolution), Włącz się (Join in), Kongres Kobiet (Women’s Congress), Szerokie Porozumienie na Rzecz Umiejętności Cyfrowych w Polsce (Wide Alliance for Digital Skills in Poland).

CONTACTS WITH THE MEDIA
We inform about Lewiatan activities in the media on an ongoing basis. The strength of our brand makes us leaders of business organisations in terms of the number of citations. In 2013, we had over 20,000 citations, we sent 320 press releases, organised 45 press conferences and newspapers have published 42 articles of our experts. We make sure our members are present in the media.
CAMPAIGNS AND COALITIONS
We have organised much awarded campaigns such as “Przedsiębiorcy tworzą” (promoting a positive image of entrepreneurs) and “Zmień kraj, idź na wybory” (a coalition campaign encouraging voting in the elections). We consider the needs of our members, e.g. we launched a campaign “Zostaję w OFE” (“I’m staying in OFE”) for all General Pensions Societies, and we promoted the usage of e-invoices as part of the coalition of companies “Wybieram e-faktury”. Every time we run a campaign, we issue a call for tenders for contractors, coordinate the purchase of media and audit, provide legal services, build a PR strategy, etc.
PARTNERSHIPS
We engage in long-term partner projects, initiated and coordinated by our members. Lewiatan’s participation entails technical and communication assistance. It also enhances the credibility of initiatives in the eyes of decision-makers.
PATRONAGE
Projects conducted by our members can be covered by Lewiatan’s patronage. In case of commercial events, our members receive a discount for patronage.
EXPERT PROJECTS
Together with our members, we run substantive projects – we produce industry-specific reports (e.g. development perspectives, legal obstacles, good practices) and conduct studies (e.g. “Monitoring the situation of SMEs”, large companies, innovations), etc. Launching a project in cooperation with Lewiatan makes the promotion more effective and allows you to reach more decision-makers.

European Forum of New Ideas in Sopot – the status of a partner gives you an opportunity to be present in a substantive way and to undertake activities which will boost your image among 1,000 guests from Europe and the rest of the world.

The event takes place under the honorary patronage of the President of the Republic of Poland, the President of the European Council and the European Parliament.
Lewiatan Awards – the gala is hosted in the National Philharmonic every year, for over 1,000 guests. The most outstanding entrepreneurs and opinion leaders are awarded prizes (see the list p. 24).
Summer Friends Meetings – every year Lewiatan members and stakeholders meet in the garden at our headquarters. We invite them for a debate, artistic performance and a barbecue. Due to the nature of the meeting, our partners have wide opportunities to undertake image improving activities.

This is an international business discussion forum on the future
of Europe and its economy in a broad, global context.
EFNI has been organised by Lewiatan Confederation since 2011, in cooperation with BUSINESSEUROPE, the city of Sopot, Polish and international companies and institutions of the Forum. The aim is to work out ideas for a strong Europe and innovative economy, which will be open to civilizational and technological trends.
Every year, over 1,000 business leaders, together with representatives of the world of science, politics and culture, look for solutions to the greatest challenges facing Europe. The Forum’s programme covers identification of recent civilizational trends which can have an impact on business, industry and public sphere and makes it possible for participants to exchange ideas.
EFNI has had a pleasure to host among others the following guests: Donald Tusk, Bronisław Komorowski, Herman Van Rompuy, Mario Monti,
Lech Wałęsa, Michael O’Leary, Nouriel Roubini, Zbigniew Brzeziński, Henri Malosse, Norman Davies, Paul Dembiński, Bernard-Henry Levy, George Friedman, Michaił Gorbaczow, Hans-Dietrich Genscher, Benjamin R. Barber, Zygmunt Bauman, Irene Natividad, Lord Peter Mandelson, Peter Schwartz, Günter Verheugen, Hernando de Soto, Anatolij Ki-nakh, Jan Krzysztof Bielecki, Jerzy Buzek, Stefan Füle, Janusz Lewandowski, Danuta Hübner, Marek Belka, Ivan Krastev, William H. Dutton, Sylvie Kauffmann, Jan Kulczyk, Beata Stelmach, Oliver E. Williamson.
Every year EFNI presents its conclusions and ideas for the recovery of European economy and revival of the process of integration. Discussions, which last many hours, result in new ideas which are conveyed to political and economic decision-makers in Poland and the European Union in the form of EFNI Recommendations.
