ESG

We design sustainable investments and strive to use available resources wisely. We undertake comprehensive initatives aimed at reducing our environmental and climate impact, including water and energy management, waste management carbon footprint measurement, and integrating climate risks and opportunities troughout the lifecycle of our properties.

Environment

Ecology and environmental responsibility have always been central to all our development and management projects.

As one of the first companies in Poland, we certified the massive Eurocentrum Office Complex, inspiring architects and contractors to pursue modern, eco-friendly solutions. We achieved LEED Platinum certification at both the design and construction stages — and this was back in 2012.

WE CONSIDER OURSELVES PIONEERS IN CERTIFIED BUILDING SOLUTIONS

We have blazed many trails, from implementing modern, intelligent BMS systems that manage entire buildings, to introducing the first electric vehicle chargers, beehives on rooftops, and real waste segregation even within tenant spaces. To this day, we educate and fund such initiatives.

In our new project, Nowy Wełnowiec in Katowice, we are deploying cutting-edge solutions such as car-free ground-level zones across 30 hectares, shaping a new urban district. During the project’s planning phase, our proposed solutions earned the BREEAM Communities Interim certification — making it the first large-scale mixed-use project in Poland to successfully undergo precertification.

Energy Management

REGARDING ENERGY MANAGEMENT

We are actively implementing AI-driven systems to optimize electricity and heat consumption. Our energy management initiatives include,
Temperature and cooling efficiency control using weather forecasts,
Adjusting cooling performance based on electricity market prices,
High-performance building envelopes with U-values of 0.9 W/m²K,
For facades and 0.15 W/m²K for roofs,
High-efficiency heat exchangers in office central systems,
LED lighting across all spaces,
Heat recovery from commercial and service areas,
Energy recovery from elevators,
Infrastructure prepared for energy storage systems,
Photovoltaic systems partially covering electricity needs for shared commercial areas, with annual production of 32.4 MWh in 2023 and 33.6 MWh in 2024

Regarding waste management

For the past 10 years, at Royal Wilanów and the Norblin Factory, we have financed an advanced waste recycling system managed by a dedicated external partner. Recycling begins at tenant premises, where we closely collaborate and monitor the effectiveness of implemented segregation on a daily basis,
We have equipped our buildings with large-scale compactors, allowing us, for example, to eliminate three waste containers, saving 24 empty transports per week, 84 per month, and 1,008 per year,
By implementing a closed-loop system for plastics through our cleaning company, we avoid using 660 kg of plastic per month, nearly 8,000 kg per year. Cleaning product containers are refilled multiple times to reduce waste,
We are also working on a closed-loop system for hand towels in restrooms, where, with the help of an external partner, they will be reused.

REGARDING GREEN SPACES

In all our properties, we carefully nurture biologically active spaces, including green roofs, planted trees, shrubs, and flower meadows — an essential part of our shared public areas,
At Royal Wilanów, we manage public spaces spanning 1 hectare, thoughtfully planted and maintained for over 10 years, creating a welcoming environment for the community,
At the Norblin Factory, on a post-industrial site, we have planted over 100 trees and more than 1,000 shrubs. Both buildings feature urban beehives on the roofs, producing honey that we harvest annually.

REGARDING PROMOTING SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORT

At all our properties, we encourage cycling to work. Our buildings are equipped with changing rooms, showers, and dedicated bicycle parking for both employees and visitors,
We organize initiatives to promote cycling, such as “Bike to Eurocentrum” and “Suits on Bikes”. The Norblin Factory features the only automatic underground bicycle parking in Poland and this part of Europe, accommodating 96 bicycles.

LOCAL COMMUNITIES

As an active investor in the Polish real estate market, we are committed to ensuring that our projects become an integral part of the local community.

We recognize that we are not an isolated island but a member of the neighborhood, actively participating in its life and initiatives. Our developments are defined not just by their location, but by our responsibility for the spaces we create. Building and nurturing strong, positive relationships with the local community is therefore a key priority. We engage in charitable, cultural, social, and educational initiatives, and we welcome ideas and suggestions from our neighbors. By joining forces and efforts, we aim to strengthen one of the most important aspects of modern life — human connections.

Examples of our initiatives include:

NORBLIN FACTORY FOUNDATION

Established 15 years ago, the Norblin Factory Foundation continues the philanthropic and cultural legacy of the Norblin and Werner families. Through its activities, the Foundation seeks to revive the vision of the factory’s first owners — art enthusiasts and generous benefactors who supported cultural and social causes.

Culture has long been a presence on the former factory grounds, continuing even after the factory ceased operations, with venues such as the Scena Prezentacje Theatre. Today, the Foundation’s mission is to highlight the role of history and art in society and to promote the work of the most talented artists.

We aim to support young, gifted artists, giving them wings to flourish and encouraging artistic activity within the historic, revitalized spaces of the former Norblin Factory. We ensure that Poland’s leading artists, respected intellectual and cultural authorities, have a direct impact on the education and development of future generations of enlightened, influential, and thoughtful citizens.

Over the years, the Foundation has published books and art albums, organized exhibitions for painters, poster artists, and photographers, and developed projects in cooperation with institutions like the Academy of Fine Arts and the School of Form. We also promote young musicians through initiatives such as Music Master Class and the Wednesday Jam Session “Scena Młodych”, now a well-known cultural highlight throughout Warsaw.

As part of the revitalization of the former Norblin Factory, we partnered with experienced collaborators to create a museum that tells the story of the historic factory. The Norblin Factory Museum is a unique destination on Warsaw’s cultural map, presenting the history of one of the largest metallurgical enterprises of the former Kingdom of Poland and the vibrant, fascinating tale of the French Norblin family and the German Werner family.

Visitors can explore the restored buildings, admire the factory’s original machines and equipment, and discover its elegant and globally acclaimed products, including the famous “plater” pieces.

The museum is organized into four exhibition paths: People, Buildings & Architecture, Machines & Equipment, and Products. Among visitors, the most popular experience is the “Norblin Factory in a Nutshell” tour, where guides dressed in period costumes lead groups along a combined route, sharing stories from all four paths.

When planning our projects, we anticipate the future management and activation of public spaces. The programming of activities is tailored to the site and the identity of each investment.

At Royal Wilanów, we focused on outdoor public plazas equipped with football, basketball, and volleyball courts, a climbing wall, mini golf, trampolines, fitness equipment, and more — creating opportunities for free, outdoor fun for the whole family.

In contrast, Norblin Factory, located in the heart of Warsaw, features public spaces animated through cultural activities such as exhibitions, performances, and concerts, turning the area into a vibrant cultural hub for the city.

Our flagship investment has been awarded the “Barrier-Free Building” certificates by the Integracja Foundation, recognizing its architectural accessibility and adaptation to the needs of diverse users, including people with disabilities, seniors, individuals with temporary impairments, and parents with children.

Both new and historic buildings within the Capital Park complex meet these high accessibility standards. The certificates were granted to three new buildings (Galwan, Plater, and Verit) and nine historic structures, including Hala Ciągarni, administrative and residential buildings, and several production halls of the former Norblin, Bracia Buch, and T. Werner factories.

The certification process involved detailed architectural audits, design consultations, and space evaluations, ultimately resulting in two certificates: one for the newly constructed buildings and another for the historic heritage structures, confirming our commitment to inclusive and barrier-free spaces for all.

Capital Park proudly supports the “28 Dreams” initiative, a project for youth from the Rehabilitation, Education, and Upbringing Center in Działdowo and the Non-Public School for Vocational Preparation in Działdowo.

The participants are young people with intellectual disabilities, mobility impairments, visual impairments, or autism, who every year fulfill their dreams by taking on new challenges. So far, the center’s students have conquered 28 peaks of the Polish Mountains Crown and cycled 180 km along the Baltic coast to Hel.

Capital Park has been a sponsor of this initiative from its inception, and Marcin Juszczyk, Managing Partner of Capital Park, serves as its ambassador, reflecting our commitment to empowering young people and supporting inclusive opportunities.

Governance

Our corporate governance principles are founded on the highest standards of management and a commitment to protecting the interests of all stakeholders — including investors, business partners, contractors, employees, and local communities.

As one of the pioneers in Poland, we certified the massive Eurocentrum Office Complex, inspiring architects and contractors to seek modern and eco-friendly solutions. The project achieved LEED Platinum certification at both the design and construction stages — a milestone reached in 2012, reflecting our longstanding commitment to excellence, sustainability, and responsible governance.

To ensure alignment with these values, we have implemented a comprehensive set of policies and procedures governing the key aspects of our operations:

WHISTLEBLOWING PROCEDURE provides a safe and anonymous channel for reporting irregularities, enabling prompt response and prevention of potential misconduct.

CODE OF ETHICS sets the standards of conduct for all employees and business partners, promoting integrity, responsibility, and respect in the workplace.

HUMAN RIGHTS POLICY commits us to upholding and promoting human rights across our entire value chain, ensuring the elimination of any form of discrimination or violations and fostering a respectful, inclusive environment.

DIVERSITY POLICY supports the creation of an inclusive work environment, where we value diverse perspectives, experiences, and skills. We believe that diversity fosters innovation and drives growth, strengthening both our teams and our projects.

ANTI-CORRUPTION PROCEDURE outlines the principles for preventing corruption and conflicts of interest, ensuring fair, transparent, and ethical business relationships.

Through the consistent implementation of corporate governance principles, we build a company founded on trust, responsibility, and long-term value for all our stakeholders.
