InPost’s executives, including CEO Rafał Brzoska and Vice President Marcin Pulchny, emerged as the highest earners in Poland for 2025. They surpassed the second-ranked managers by 20%. The rankings saw significant shifts, reflecting the rapid growth of InPost’s parcel business, particularly in Western Europe, where profits continue to soar.
According to an analysis of nearly 300 major Polish companies based on revenue, InPost’s Integer.pl (owner of InPost Paczkomaty) and Integer Group Services (owner of InPost Sp. z o.o.) paid their managers the most. Last year, InPost executives held the second position, but they have now claimed the top spot.
Brzoska and Pulchny, along with other board members at Integer.pl until August, received an average monthly payment of approximately 4.7 million PLN collectively. With a reduction in board members from five to two in August, this translates to an average of 1.6 million PLN per individual monthly. In 2025, Brzoska’s total earnings from both Integer companies amounted to 17.9 million PLN, or 1.5 million PLN monthly, as reported by InPost spokesperson Wojciech Kądziołka.
Climbing to second place from fourth last year, the executives of tobacco company JTI Polska, led by CEO Edoardo Voletti, saw their average monthly salaries rise by 41% to 681,000 PLN for employer costs, equating to around 507,000 PLN net on a work contract.
The clothing retailer LPP’s management team also entered the top twelve rankings, landing in third place following the grant of performance shares. For instance, CEO Marek Piechocki received 822 shares now valued at around 17 million PLN. In total, LPP spent 61 million PLN on its management team in 2025, averaging over 5 million PLN monthly.
Significant Salary Increases
LPP exhibited the most substantial rise in management salaries among the nearly 300 companies analyzed. Including granted shares, spending increased by 54.9 million PLN year-on-year, reaching 60.7 million PLN. Interestingly, LPP’s net profit fell by 14% to 1.5 billion PLN in 2025; however, the bonus for executives was based on previous years’ performance.
Polpharma, a leading Polish pharmaceutical manufacturer, recorded the second-largest salary increase for its top managers, spending 52.5 million PLN, which is 41.1 million PLN more than the previous year. Their net profit saw minimal growth of 0.7%, maintaining a level of 1.089 billion PLN.
Żabka Polska also granted significant raises to its management, with total spending of 63.9 million PLN for its seven board members, a rise of 27.3 million PLN year-on-year. The company, managing a network of 13,000 franchised shops, reported a net profit of 1.36 billion PLN in 2025, up 83% year-on-year, distributing 500 million PLN in dividends to its owner, Żabka Group.
Among other notable increases, Integer.pl S.A. from the InPost group increased its management expenses by 17 million PLN to a total of 36 million PLN, while PlayWay raised its spending by 14.2 million PLN to 18.4 million PLN. ING Bank Śląski and Tarczyński also recorded significant increases in management costs.
Management Costs vs. Profits
An analysis of management expenses relative to company profits highlights discrepancies where executive pay significantly exceeds profits. For instance, in 2025, Toyota Central Europe’s management costs surpassed its net income by an astonishing 28,000%. The three-member board cost the company 2.5 million PLN, unchanged year-on-year, while net profits stood at a mere 9,000 PLN.
DHL Supply Chain (Poland) spent 3.2 million PLN on its executives, which was 2,186% more than its net profit of 147,000 PLN, reflecting a half-million PLN increase in executive payments over the year.
Listed company Selvita allocated 5.3 million PLN for management despite only reporting 813,000 PLN in net profit, and the management costs for Niewiadowa Polish Military Group amounted to 1.9 million PLN against 1.1 million PLN in profit.
Some companies even granted raises while reporting losses. Notably, Polenergia, controlled by Dominika Kulczyk, increased its management pay by 7.1 million PLN to 21.4 million PLN, while recording a group loss of 125 million PLN. Similarly, the state-owned Krajowa Grupa Spożywcza allocated 9.3 million PLN for management, up by 4.2 million PLN, against a loss of 208 million PLN, and Arctic Paper raised its expenditures by 1 million PLN with a loss of 100 million PLN.
In 2024, however, Polenergia achieved a net profit of 301 million PLN, KGS 318 million PLN, and Arctic Paper 154 million PLN, suggesting that these were performance bonuses from prior successful years.
Management Costs as a Percentage of Company Expenses
We also examined the ratio of management costs to total company expenses. In Integer Group Services, management accounted for a staggering 40.5% of costs (20.2 million PLN) with a workforce of 1,900 employees.
In CD Projekt, which is currently working on a new installment of the Witcher series, management costs of 53.1 million PLN represented 19.5% of total expenses among its 704 employees.
More than 5% of total costs were also attributed to management expenses in Integer.pl (9.6%), PlayWay (8%), and Asseco Business Solutions (6.3%).
