CD PROJEKT Group Sustainability Report: 2022

The CD PROJEKT Group’s 2022 sustainability reporting serves to formalize the integration of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria into the company’s core business strategy. By establishing five primary ESG ambitions—focused on storytelling, workplace culture, environmental transformation, transparency, and social engagement—the organization seeks to align its creative output with ethical operational standards. The primary thesis centers on the necessity of balancing rapid global expansion and franchise development with rigorous corporate governance, talent retention, and environmental responsibility.

Operational data for 2022 reflects a company in transition, managing 953 million PLN in consolidated revenue and a workforce of 1,292 employees. Key achievements include a 14.3% turnover rate, 32% female workforce representation, and the implementation of comprehensive compliance frameworks, including new anti-corruption and whistleblowing policies. Despite these internal successes, the company faces challenges regarding environmental reporting, specifically a carbon footprint of 323,203 tCO2e, where 99.5% of emissions are attributed to Scope 3 downstream activities. While the firm has adopted ISO 14001 and EMAS standards, it acknowledges that its core video game development activities currently fall outside the scope of the EU Taxonomy, resulting in minimal alignment for revenue and capital expenditures.

Geographically centered on its Polish headquarters with an expanding North American presence, the company maintains a focus on long-term stability through professional development, with 87% of staff participating in training. Governance remains a priority, characterized by strict conflict-of-interest protocols and a commitment to political neutrality, though the firm identifies a need for improved gender diversity within its corporate bodies. Ultimately, the 2022 disclosures demonstrate a proactive effort to institutionalize sustainability, ensuring that the company’s growth in the global gaming market is supported by transparent stakeholder relations and robust risk management.
