In 2024 the supervisory activities of the Supervisory Board were exercised on an ongoing basis and with due diligence. The Supervisory Board carefully monitored all significant matters related to the Company's activities. As requested by the Supervisory Board, the Management Board provided up-to-date reports regarding the legal condition of the Company and activities undertaken in all of the Company's activity areas.
In discharging its supervisory duties, the Supervisory Board relied on written documentation submitted by the Management Board as well as current information and explanations provided by Board Members during Supervisory Board meetings. As a rule, Supervisory Board meetings were attended by the Management Board.
The Supervisory Board also discharged its duties using remote communication tools.
In the Supervisory Board's opinion it discharged its duties faithfully in 2024, fulfilling its legal and statutory obligations. In the Supervisory Board's opinion its activities should be regarded as effective and ensuring proper supervision of the Company.

As described in more detail in the section devoted to changes in the composition of the Supervisory Board, all incumbent members of the Audit Committee tendered their resignations on 17 October 2024, effective at and of day on 31 December 2024.
On 8 January 2025, at the first meeting of the Supervisory Board for the new term:
Based on analysis of the financial statement of the Company for the year 2024, the consolidated financial statement of the CD PROJEKT Group for 2024, and the Management Board report on internal control, risk management, compliance and internal audit systems at CD PROJEKT S.A. in 2024, in addition to information received directly from the Management Board, the Supervisory Board concludes that the Company's condition is stable.
Despite the lack of major new releases, the CD PROJEKT Group generated a net profit of PLN 469,874 thousand in 2024.
Moreover, throughout 2024, the Group invested 274,373 thousand as expenditure on development projects related to new projects and allocated 99,911 thousand to be distributed as dividend. In this period the total amount of financial reserves of the Group (understood as the sum of cash, bank deposits, treasury bonds, bonds secured with a guarantee of foreign governments) increased by 162,576 thousand to 1,472,034 thousand as of 31 December 2024.
The company is working intensively on new projects and products that should be a source of revenue in the future. In 2024 it was conducting:
In line with the foregoing, the Supervisory Board hereby expresses a positive assessment of the Company's condition, including the adequacy and effectiveness of its internal control systems, risk management, compliance with applicable norms and regulations, and internal audit mechanisms.
In assessing the condition of the Company in 2024, the Supervisory Board analyzed key risks faced by the Company and did not identify any circumstances which would jeopardize continuation of the Company's activities.
Internal control and risk management systems at the Company are fully controlled by the Management Board, which, in the course of publishing its periodic reports, conducts periodic assessment of risk factors relevant to the Company during each financial year.
A comprehensive control system is in place at the Company, particularly with regard to preparation of financial statements of the Company and consolidated financial statements of the CD PROJEKT Group, with the aim to ensure that the Company meets its stated goals related to operational effectiveness and efficiency, reliability of financial statement, and legal compliance.
The Management Board takes part in daily business activities at the Company and remains in contact with persons charged with managing the Company's subsidiaries. Control activities are rooted in internal regulations (including policies, procedures and manuals) which specify the duties and responsibilities of each member of the team, thereby mitigating the risk of errors in each activity area of the Company.
Security, accessibility, confidentiality and integrity of information processed by the Company's IT system is the responsibility of the appropriate teams. Security, accessibility, confidentiality and integrity of information processed at the Company is supervised by the IT & Security Department, and particularly by the Cybersecurity Team which is a subunit thereof. The applicable standards are set forth in the CD PROJEKT Group Information Security Policy and related by-laws. Additionally, the IT Operations & Business Systems team bears responsibility for maintaining and developing the Company's internal systems. Secure processing of personal data in the Company's IT systems is the responsibility of the Privacy & Compliance Team, along with an external Data Protection Officer. In this scope, the Company observes a range of internal regulations related to privacy protection, particularly as expressed in the CD PROJEKT Group Personal Data Protection Policy, the CD PROJEKT S.A. Privacy Policy and the CD PROJEKT S.A. Data Protection Officer Regulations.
A structural division of responsibilities is in place at the Company, ensuring hierarchical assignment of duties, minimizing the risk of significant business decisions being undertaken by a single individual. Recruitment procedures are structured in such a way as to ensure selection of optimal candidates for each open position. The Company employs competent individuals and provides them with career development opportunities and incentives to remain part of the organization.
Internal control duties significantly involve Finance, Accounting and HR Departments, the latter of which develops human talent management strategies and implements initiatives aimed at achieving a desirable level of retention. Information concerning new regulations and processes is disseminated internally with help from the Internal Communication Department, which works to ensure that such information remains accessible and understandable for all team members.
Regarding financials, the internal control system mandates monthly assessment of results against the background of earlier projections within each activity segment of the CD PROJEKT Group.
As part of its reporting and review scheme, the Management Board of the Company, assisted by directors who hold the position of VP, performs monthly analyses of results and how they compare to earlier estimates. In addition, periodic (i.e. quarterly or depending on the schedule production milestones) analyses of costs incurred in each segment are performed against the backdrop of adopted plans, with involvement of persons responsible for the segments in which the aforementioned costs are incurred. The meetings also provide an opportunity to discuss important developments affecting each segment and the likelihood of meeting projections in future months.
Approval of expenditures incurred by the Company is based on formalized approval procedures, and utilizes an electronic document flow and authorization system. The approval process also involves the Legal Department and – in selected cases – the Tax Department and the Procurement Department. Financial control is carried out by representatives of the Finance Department (including the Financial Control Team). All payments remitted by the Company are based on properly filed accounting documents. Maintenance of the Company's accounts, along with verification and filing of accounting documents, is the responsibility of the Accounting Department. A document may only be filed if:
In 2024, the books were kept at the Company's registered office on the IFS APPLICATION 8 computer system. On 1 April 2025, the Company completed the implementation of a new ERP system provided by Microsoft: Dynamics 365 Finance and Operation.
On a day-to-day basis, payments are handled by the Treasury Department, which is a subunit of the Finance Department, in collaboration with the Accounting Department. Employee remuneration is handled by the Employment & Payroll Department in collaboration with the Compensation & Benefits Department. Any deviations from this rule must be authorized by a Member of the Management Board.
Supervising the preparation of financial statements is the responsibility of the CFO who is also a Board Member, and the Chief Accountant.
Financial statements of the Company and consolidated financial statements of the CD PROJEKT Group are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), the Accounting Act of 29 September 1994 (JL 2023, item 120, as amended; "Accounting Act") and the CD PROJEKT S.A. Accounting Policy.
To ensure alignment between the CD PROJEKT S.A. Accounting Policy and other applicable regulations – IFRS in particular – the Policy is subject to periodic updates, the responsibility for which rests with the Management Board of the Company. The last update to CD PROJEKT S.A. Accounting Policy was introduced by the resolution of the Management Board no. 15/2024 of 25 May 2024 and included a change in the criteria for exclusion from consolidation.
The separate financial statement of the Company and the consolidated financial statement of the CD PROJEKT Group are subject to reviews and audits performed by an independent licensed auditor, in line with the applicable regulations, including the Act and the Company's internal policy for selection and rotation of the entity authorized to perform audits of financial statements, and procurement of other permissible services which do not constitute audits of financial statements from the entity authorized to perform such audits at the CD PROJEKT Group.
Preparation of the Sustainability Report is based on a survey of material aspects of sustainability at the CD PROJEKT Group, carried out in accordance with the double materiality principle described in ESRS. The survey involves a broad community of stakeholders, both internal and external. An ESG Management Group has been established in the Company's organizational structure, consisting of VPs and directors whose competences cover sustainability aspects identified in the materiality survey. Members of the Group are responsible for gathering and verifying, in a timely fashion, data concerning sustainability, which is supplied to the ESG Team in the framework of our annual reporting cycle. This process also covers subsidiary companies subjected to consolidation. The resulting draft statement is approved by ESG Management Group members, depending on their specific scopes of responsibility, and subsequently by the Chief Compliance Officer and VP for Investor Relations. Finally, the statement is submitted for approval to the CFO (who is also a Board Member). Following approval by the CFO, it is subjected to external attestation (beginning with the statement for 2024).
In addition, a stock-taking instruction is in force at the Company, specifying the means of preparing, conducting, evaluating and settling assets and liabilities, along with any off-balance sheet conditional liabilities and sureties. This instruction is consistent with the provisions of the Accounting Act.
A formalized Risk Management Procedure is in force at the Company, along with strategic risk management procedures based thereupon. The risk management process at the Company permits assessment of each risk, determining ways to handle risk factors, and monitoring existing risks.
The goal of the aforementioned procedure is to retain an acceptable level of risk for each identified threat, and thereby mitigate the consequences of potential events which may negatively impact the activities and financial stability of the Company.
In the Management Board Report on the activities of the CD PROJEKT Group in 2024 the Company identified and described risk factors relevant to business, legal, team-related, financial and environmental areas.
The risk management process involves:
Risk Owners determine the materiality of their assigned risks by plotting their impact and likelihood of occurrence on a Risk Value Matrix. Further handling of each risk may involve its acceptance, reduction, transfer or avoidance.
In 2023 the Company updated its Risk Management Policy, among others by rolling out a new risk monitoring system based on the concept of Key Risk Indicators (KRI). KRIs are used to quantify the status of each threat or opportunity in relation to the given risk. By setting specific thresholds for reacting to threats (or opportunities) the Company can initiate timely remedial actions.
Management of compliance with the applicable norms and practices is based on legal regulations, market standards, BP2021, and recommended compliance standards in the area of counteracting corruption and whistleblower protection for companies traded on the regulated markets of the Warsaw Stock Exchange.
In this scope, activities undertaken by the Company aim to foster a culture of compliance and minimize the risk of noncompliance. Compliance management is based on the Deming cycle (Plan, Do, Check, Act), which permits monitoring and progressive optimization.
In line with its internal Compliance Policy, the Company has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer (CCO). The CCO, assisted by the Privacy & Compliance Team (which is a subunit of the Legal Department) monitors regulatory and compliance-related risks, along with the Company's emerging needs in this regard. An important role in this process is entrusted to compliance teams operating within the framework of individual departments, such as the Tax Department, the ESG Team (for environmental and climate-related issues), and the IT & Security Department.
The compliance management process also entails participation of departments and teams charged with monitoring and deploying compliance-related solutions, whether mandated by the law or based on voluntarily accepted standards.
The CD PROJEKT Group has enacted a set of Rules of the Game: Business and Ethics Standards at the CD PROJEKT Group, which clarify the CD PROJEKT Group's approach to human rights protection, conservation of resources, privacy protection, compliance with legal and ethical norms, open internal communications and whistleblowing.
An Anti-Corruption Policy in also force at the CD PROJEKT Group, with the aim to establish ground rules for recognizing, counteracting and mitigating the risk of corruption and related irregularities in the daily operations of Group member companies. These policies apply to the Group's business dealings as well as to its interaction with public authorities. The CD PROJEKT Group embraces a "zero tolerance" approach towards all symptoms of corruption. The Anti-Corruption Policy contains regulations applicable to giving and receiving gifts, third-party relations (in business and administrative matters) as well as precautions which should be taken in circumstances where a conflict of interest may arise – including seeking additional employment, becoming involved in the activities of entities which compete or collaborate with CD PROJEKT, and making personnel-related decisions.
The aforementioned standards express the Company's and its team members' pledge to abide by ethics norms, legal acts and values which guide the CD PROJEKT Group in its daily work.
Changes in the Company's regulatory environment are monitored on an ongoing basis by the Privacy & Compliance team, which analyzes draft laws and newly introduced regulations, announcements and guidelines issued by public authorities, and reports commissioned from external law firms.
The Company introduces internal regulations, including policies and procedures, as required given the scale of its activities and its specific organizational structure. Internal regulations are posted in an intranet repository available to all team members, and are subject to periodic reviews and updates. Developing internal regulations is the responsibility of the department to which the given regulation pertains. The Privacy & Compliance team issues opinions and assists in the development of new regulations to ensure that they remain consistent with the applicable laws and with other regulations in force at the Company.
The following internal regulations were introduced or updated in 2024:

Several internal regulations at the Company concern whistleblowing. One of them is the Procedure for reporting irregularities, which governs reports of infringement, or suspected future infringement, of laws, ethical norms or internal regulations.
In 2024 28 reports were filed under this procedure, concerning, among others, alleged irregularities in the procurement process, alleged irregularities in the recruitment process, and alleged irregularities in the process of identifying infringements of CD PROJEKT S.A.'s intellectual property rights.
Following separate investigations covering each case the Company determined that two minor irregularities did, in fact, occur: one irregularity in the recruitment process and one irregularity in the process of identifying IPR infringements. While it was determined that these irregularities had no negative impact on the Company's operations, action was nevertheless taken to alleviate them.
In the scope of its whistleblowing procedures the Company monitors the potential for irregularities and improper conduct. When such irregularities arise, action is undertaken to mitigate their potential consequences.
Internal audit has not been entrusted to a dedicated organizational unit at the Company; however, the Company aims to ensure that internal audit tasks are handled by its existing units, as appropriate.
The Supervisory Board regards the internal control and material risk management procedures in force at the Company as consistent.
The Supervisory Board hereby expresses a positive assessment of the internal control and material risk management procedures in force at the Company in 2024, and declares that they mitigate key risks faced by the Company in the course of its activities.
CD PROJEKT S.A. works to have a positive effect on its social environment, integrate employees around a shared set of values and assist others with the resources and skills at its disposal. The Company engages in social projects, national charity drives and global activities which aim to assist the needy – this is done through material donations, financial support or knowledge sharing. The Company also implements projects addressed at the youth, helping participants gain skills and experience in the gaming industry.
Pursuant to regulations enacted in 2024 – the CD PROJEKT Group social engagement policy and the CD PROJEKT S.A. donations policy – a total of 366 267 PLN was donated to charity in 2024. Beneficiaries included Fundacja Ocalenie, Trans-Fuzja Fundacji na rzecz Osób Transpłciowych and The Japanese Red Cross Society.
The Supervisory Board of the Company regards the Company's actions in this regard as commensurate with its resources and justifiable given the Company's social involvement.
The Supervisory Board familiarized itself with the information published by the Company concerning its compliance with BP2021 principles, as well as with the statement on applying corporate governance principles, contained in the Management Board report on CD PROJEKT Group activities in 2024. In the Supervisory Board's opinion, the scope of application of BP2021 principles reflects the Company's specific circumstances, and furthermore reflects the corporate governance policies implemented on the basis of the corresponding internal corporate regulations, while also taking into account the practical feasibility of implementing BP2021 principles.
The Company, as indicated in the statement in this regard, does not apply principles 2.1, 2.2. and 2.11.6 of BP2021, taking into account the fact that a formal diversity regulation related to our corporate bodies has not been adopted. At the time of this declaration the Company has not achieved the minority gender ratio of 30% on the Management Board of the Company, while from 1 January 2025 the ratio of the underrepresented gender on the Supervisory Board is 40%. The Company also monitors legislative changes concerning gender diversity and plans to take actions, which will be necessary to ensure compliance with the requirements arising from such provisions of law.
Moreover, in 2019 the Company adopted a Diversity Policy. Pursuant to this policy, a general non-discrimination principle applies to members of the Management Board and Supervisory Board, as well as to all team members. Furthermore, the Company is a signatory to the Diversity Charter, which prohibits workplace discrimination and obligates its signatories to engage in activities which foster and promote diversity. Diversity, equality and respect for human rights are among the core values enshrined in our "Rules of the Game: Business and Ethics Standards at the CD PROJEKT Group".
The Company also does not apply principles 3.1, 3.3., 3.4., 3.6, 3.7. And 3.10. of BP2021 in scope of sustaining a separate internal audit unit. There is no distinct internal audit unit within the structure. Internal control at the Company is implemented on the basis of our existing managerial framework. Responsibility in this scope falls to persons who possess the appropriate substantive competences. These are, in particular, employees of the Development Department, Legal Department (in particular, the Corporate Law and Privacy & Compliance Teams), the Tax Department, Accounting, Finance (in particular, the Financial Control Team), and the Investor Relations Department (including the ESG Team which operates within its framework). A formalized risk management system is in place, operating on the basis of the Risk Management Procedure, as well as a compliance management system, operating on the basis of the Compliance Policy.
In addition to the above, the Supervisory Board familiarized itself with the manner in which the Company discharges its disclosure obligations. In 2024 the Company published 31 current report, 4 periodic reports for the CD PROJEKT Group (annual report, semiannual report and quarterly reports for the first and third quarter of 2024), the Company's own annual report and a report on the implementation of BP2021 principles by the Company. In light of the foregoing, the Supervisory Board expresses no reservations regarding the Company's discharge of its disclosure obligations.
In the Supervisory Board's assessment, in 2024 the Company carried out its activities in compliance with requirements applicable to public companies, including the declared corporate governance policies. In the Supervisory Board's opinion in 2024 the Company properly discharged its disclosure obligations in the scope of corporate governance.
Pursuant to its statement concerning application of BP2021 principles, in 2024 the Company did not apply principle 2.1 of BP2021, i.e. thus far the Supervisory Board and the General Meeting have not adopted regulations which would specifically address the issue of diversity on the Company's governing bodies.
Since 2019 a Diversity Policy has been in force at the Company. Pursuant to this policy, a general non-discrimination principle applies to members of the Management Board and Supervisory Board, as well as to all team members. Furthermore, we are a signatory to the Diversity Charter, which prohibits workplace discrimination and obligates its signatories to engage in activities which foster and promote diversity. Diversity, equality and respect for human rights are all basic values enshrined in the Rules of the Game. CD PROJEKT Group Business and Ethics Standards.
The Company also continues to monitor legislative changes in the area of gender diversity, and plans actions to align its activities with legal requirements. As of the submission date of this Report the Company has not attained a minority gender participation level of 30% on the Management Board; however, with regard to the Supervisory Board, since 1 January 2025 the minority gender participation ratio stands at 40%.
According to § 14 section 2 of the Company Articles, the Management Board is obligated to notify the Supervisory Board of the Company of the Company's condition, including with regard to its assets, along with any notable developments related to the Company's affairs, transactions or other events or circumstances which have, or may have, a significant impact on the Company's material status, including its profitability or liquidity, as well as of changes in information previously provided to the Supervisory Board, if such changes have, or may have, a significant impact on the Company's condition. With regard to subsidiaries, the aforementioned obligation of the Management Board is limited to information in possession thereof, which may be regarded as significant in the context of the Company's material status. Such notifications may be provided in any form listed in the Management Board Regulations and Supervisory Board Regulations as an appropriate means of communication between the Management Board and the Supervisory Board, including in electronic form, as well as orally, during Supervisory Board meetings.
Throughout 2024 the Management Board provided the Supervisory Board with ongoing disclosures specified in § 14 section 2 of the Company Articles, as well as with all requested information, documentation, reports and clarifications related to the Company and particularly to its activities or assets, including in the context of subsidiaries and affiliates. The Supervisory Board has not exercised the power to require the preparation or transmission of information, documents, reports or explanations concerning the Company in the manner set out in the Art. 382 1 of CCC.
