🇦🇺🤝🇵🇱 Australian-Polish Business Collaboration Through a Sustainability Lens 🌱 We were thrilled to have hosted the Polish business delegation at the Banksia National Awards presentation at the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre during their Australia visit — including the esteemed Prof. Krystof Galos, Deputy Minister for Climate and Environment. Together with the Polish Government and the Polish Investment & Trade Agency, we launched a pilot program to connect innovative Polish businesses with Aussie counterparts, exploring shared opportunities in sustainability, ESG, and the SDGs. This is more than a trade exchange — it’s about building lasting, purpose-driven partnerships that prioritise people, planet, and prosperity. Here’s to stronger ties and shared solutions! 🌍✨ In photo: Damian Tchórzewski, Max Sypnyak, Wojciech Filończuk, Tomasz Troniewski, Rafal Jarosz, Minister Krzysztofa Galos, Estelle O'Callaghan CF, Grazyna Van Egmond, Marzena Krajniewska, Michal Piechocki, Stasiu Badowicz SYSTEM 3E, Pronar, AFH Europe Sp. z o.o., Polish Australian Chamber of Commerce (PACC), Ministerstwo Klimatu i Środowiska, 3PDA CONSULTING, Regnology, Regnology Wrocław #SustainableBusiness #AustraliaPolandPartnership #ESG #TradeWithPurpose #SustainabilityInAction #GlobalGoals
