He graduated from gymnasium and took up law studies at the University of St Petersburg, but had to interrupt them due to illness. He then returned to the family estate in Talitsa, where he joined the business interests of his father Alfons Kozel-Poklewski. After his father's death in 1890, he and his brothers ran a business house under the name "A.F. Kozel-Poklewski's Heirs" and owned numerous landed estates in various Russian governorates. He was involved in charitable activities, including as a member of the St Petersburg Society of the Sisters of Charity in 1878. He was a member of the St Petersburg council of children's orphanages from 1892, and in 1903 he became guardian of the Yelizaveta and Maria orphanage in St Petersburg. He also donated significant sums of money to support education, such as the Shandrin dodge school, the Krasnoufim real school and the Vistula men's gymnasium. He was an active member of various social organisations and supported the people of his native Talitsa in the Urals; for example, in 1902, when bread became significantly more expensive, he donated large amounts of grain from his own stocks and set up an orphanage for orphans and a club for local workers. As chairman of the Yekaterinburg branch of the Siberian Commercial Bank and a member of the Council of the Volzh-Kam Bank, he played an important role in the financial sector. In 1906, he was one of three Poles on the State Council of the Russian Empire, elected from among industrialists. In the same year, he was appointed Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia. From 1907 to 1912, he was a member of the State Council for Trade. In addition, he served as a justice of the peace of the Shandrinsky uyezd from 1905 and as a justice of the peace of the Kamyshlovsky uyezd. By 1917, he was one of the largest industrialists in the Russian Empire, owning mine plants in the Urals. He supported both his compatriots employed in his plants and exiles in the Urals, developing social and charitable activities. He was a member of the Roman Catholic Benevolent Society in St Petersburg and was active in supporting Polish students in Russia. He also hosted the Polish émigré elite in his home. After the outbreak of the Bolshevik Revolution in the autumn of 1917, he evacuated to Shandrinsk. After the occupation of Talitsa by the Czechoslovak Legion, he returned to his home town. However, as a result of the revolution, he lost all his vast property. In 1919, he left via Vladivostok for independent Poland and settled in Warsaw, where he spent his last years. He died on 19 August 1929 and was buried in the family tomb at the Powązki cemetery in Warsaw.
