We’re not afraid to stand for what we believe in. By implementing inclusive initiatives and creating a space where everyone can be themselves, we hope to create a guiding example for other companies and help effect positive social change.
“Inclusion isn’t about treating everyone the same. It’s about understanding that people need different things to feel safe and do their best work — and being open enough to talk about it. That’s where real change starts.” — Agnieszka Szamałek-Michalska, Culture, Diversity and Inclusion Director
At CD PROJEKT RED, we implement a range of initiatives — both within and beyond our company — that help strengthen the values that are fundamental to who we are.
At CD PROJEKT, we are committed to creating rich and immersive virtual worlds that provide gamers with high-quality entertainment, which is why we strive to create realities that are credible and internally consistent.
We consider it important to reflect the diversity of our world in large and small ways, both its bright and dark sides. This way, we can create fantastic worlds populated by true-to-life people and emotionally engaging events. We believe that these types of deep worlds are ones that engage gamers and ensure they want to come back to them.

We created a mentoring and scholarship program for high school girls to help them take their first steps in the video game industry. Girls in the Game! participants have the opportunity to learn about many practical aspects of the video game industry, gain hands-on experience creating games, and receive financial support to cover the costs of additional classes, training, or hardware. They are also mentored by experienced specialists from CD PROJEKT RED who provide their expertise and support as the participants work on gaming-related projects. The program is implemented in partnership with the Perspektywy Educational Foundation. more »
Following an approach rooted in equity, we offer benefits that support people at different stages of life — whether it’s their health, wellbeing, or everyday needs.
Mental health support is a key part of this, with access to services that help navigate stress and life changes. Our broader approach to health also includes menstrual leave of up to one additional paid day off per month (or part of a day), depending on individual needs — as well as an annual cancer awareness campaign focused on prevention, early detection, and treatment.
Support for parents is designed to make everyday life a bit easier, from a one-week summer camp for children aged 5–12, partially funded by the company, to a Baby Rebel welcome pack and other initiatives for different stages of parenthood.
At the same time, we focus on how people work and collaborate. Learning opportunities include improving communication skills through Nonviolent Communication (NVC), as well as building intercultural competence and understanding different working styles. Support for employees from other countries includes Polish language courses to help people settle into the local culture and workplace, while initiatives around burnout prevention and mental resilience support how people manage stress, energy, and long-term performance. more »

As a signatory, we also take part in regular assessments of how inclusive our internal processes are. We were also listed as one of the top employers in Poland in terms of managing diversity and inclusion. more »

Trusted Persons offer private and trustworthy advice to anyone who seeks it. Their primary responsibility is to receive notifications about possible violations and offer guidance and recommendations to employees who are contemplating reporting unwelcome behavior in the workplace. more »
