Production and industry Academy for Production. Law | Taxes | Accounting - February meeting is behind us

Challenges for Management Boards of Production Companies in Relations with Parent Companies – Webinar Summary

Another meeting in the " Academy for Production. Law | Taxes | Accounting" series is behind us! The event took place o n February 27, 2025.

This time, we focused on the topic: "Challenges for Management Boards of Production Companies in Relations with Parent Companies."

What did we discuss during the webinar?

Together with the participants, we addressed the question of the position of the management board in relation to the parent company and whether the parent company can issue binding instructions to the management board.

We identified the most common practical situations in which a parent company may attempt to "force" the management board to make decisions that are not optimal from the subsidiary's perspective.

We discussed whether there are ways for the management board to react in such situations.

Furthermore, we addressed the question of whether the management board is protected when following the instructions of the parent company (after all, they are merely executing an order).

Thank you for joining us!

We would like to thank all participants for attending the webinar.

What’s next?

The " Academy for Production " series continues! In the coming months, we have prepared more topics to help you better understand changing regulations and make managing production companies easier.

We remind you that this series is organized under the patronage of the Kamienna Góra Special Economic Zone for Small Business and the Polish-German Business Circle in Poznań.

See you at the next session!

A proper review of documentation may lead to its reduction — not only for the future, but even retroactively for up to five years.

Accident insurance contribution and “hazardous conditions” - a business-friendly ruling of the Supreme Court in Poland

The judgment of the Polish Supreme Court of 8 December 2020 (case no. II UK 186/19) constitutes an important reference point for businesses in disputes with the Social Insurance Institution (ZUS) regarding the level of accident insurance contributions. The ruling clearly strengthens the position of contributors by challenging ZUS’s practice of broadly interpreting the concept of “employees working under hazardous conditions.”
