Mutual acceptance and respect are part of our DNA, which is why we pledge to uphold human rights. This commitment extends to:
- CD PROJEKT Group employees,
- candidates for employment,
- gamers,
- our business partners,
- the local community.
We observe international standards
At CD PROJEKT we act in compliance with international standards, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. We have established due diligence procedures in the scope of human rights, in line with the six-step model proposed by OECD (Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development).
Our human rights policy, which includes the full wording of our commitments in this scope, is part of the Business and Ethics Standards at the CD PROJEKT Group.
We manage risks
We manage risks, including those which concern human rights, on the basis of our Risk Management Procedure. More information can be found in the CD PROJEKT Group Management Board Report.

We ensure protection of human rights in the workplace
At CD PROJEKT we hold periodic general elections to appoint Trusted Persons who are among the points of contact for people experiencing undesirable behavior at the workplace. The electees participate in special training to prepare them to appropriately react to reports of workplace abuse, along with the corresponding soft skills (such as how to conduct interviews in the course of investigations).
CD PROJEKT employees who face undesirable behavior may also contact their HR Partners, who double as Trusted Persons.
Team members, as well as external parties, may submit anonymous, confidential reports detailing cases of undesirable conduct at CD PROJEKT. We do not condone any form of retribution, and provide the ability to submit reports by traditional mail, in person or through our internal portal.
We evaluate the effectiveness of our actions
At CD PROJEKT we carry out anonymous surveys to evaluate, among others, the involvement of our teams, along with any cases of undesirable conduct. The quantity and content of reports enable us to quickly detect and investigate areas where employee rights may potentially be violated. Deriving a quantitative measure of our activities helps us protect human rights in the workplace.
