Advocacy
AmCham Poland serves as a voice of American companies operating in Poland, addressing pivotal matters such as investment, trade, taxes, public procurement, environment, and competitiveness. Our primary goal is to foster a growth-oriented and business-friendly environment in Poland. AmCham provides a platform for in-depth discussions and debates concerning the legal environment in Poland. We actively participate in the legislative process, working closely with the public sector and other business organizations. Our advocacy actions focus on monitoring and analyzing Polish and EU legislation, preparing comprehensive position papers, policy statements, and legal opinions. Additionally, we collaborate hand in hand with government relations managers from our member companies and regularly engage in the rule-making process.
At AmCham, our dedication lies in nurturing robust and mutually beneficial ties between Poland and the U.S. Through our advocacy work, we support business growth and work to cultivate a secure, dependable, and predictable legal landscape that attracts foreign investment and drives the growth of the Polish economy.
