Our goal at ROBYG is to build homes and suitable surroundings for our clients. We don’t only create individual buildings, but friendly housing estates for quality living for whole communities, which are integrated with their surrounding.
We aim to build for the benefit of our clients, with consideration for the already existing natural resources and communities.
We lead a sustainable development process while fully respecting the natural environment. For ROBYG, construction is part of a new community shaping process, which combines such elements as building construction, developing infrastructure and shaping green areas, as well as recreational, integration and relaxation areas. We truly believe that not only are we laying foundations for new residential areas, but also communities for people, who will be more than simply neighbors, to each other.
The protection of natural resources and care for the environment are very important to us, hence we implement ecological solutions in our housing estates.
We provide support for foundations, communities and for those in need within our communities, we cooperate with local businesses and we take part in local cultural and sporting events.
We act responsibly, choosing to cooperate with local businesses, caring for the environment, and adopting best corporate governance practices.
We build safe and secure buildings, using modern technologies and proven solutions and materials.
Our leading role is clearly visible in the adaptation of new trends and technologies, which we implement as standard to the Polish market. We cooperate with local companies, subcontractors and suppliers.

Our aim is to show and deliver products – apartments and residential areas – made to a higher standard than other comparable market products with regard to price and location.

Sustainable development is deeply rooted in the strategy and business model of ROBYG. Residential property development is a sector, where responsible behavior is essential for the environment, the community, for our employees and business partners. At ROBYG, we believe that property development is more than just construction of a building, because by running our business we change the existing environment or create completely new urban areas, an important part of which are green areas and recreational areas for residents, which at the same time support biodiversity in the city.
Construction is a process in which not only buildings but also communities are built. Therefore, at ROBYG Group, we make every effort to ensure that both our residents and neighbors live in a healthy, friendly and ecological environment. We act responsibly, choosing to cooperate with local businesses, taking care of the environment and managing our company responsibly.
ROBYG’s strategy for sustainable development is structured around 3 pillars of impact: environment, society and corporate governance.

Our approach to the environment and climate change
In ROBYG, we care about the natural environment. We strive for respect, protection and restoration of the natural environment by switching to renewable sustainable energy sources, reducing carbon dioxide emissions, implementing low-emission solutions and reducing the consumption of natural resources on our housing estates. In addition, we protect water resources and introduce elements of biodiversity that absorb carbon dioxide.
We use solutions that promote lower water retention like ponds, basins, ditches, rain gardens, retention tanks, retention-filtration tanks, infiltration boxes, green roofs. We apply construction standards that take into account the protection of water and biodiversity. We use rainwater to water the common areas of our housing estates (18 estates). We use deep wells.
We use low-emission solutions. As part of the EU’s Fit for 55 package, we have committed to reducing electricity consumption. We use renewable electricity in the construction process – 85% in 2022 vs. 54% in 2021. As part of ROBYG’s Green Standard, we use solutions that reduce greenhouse gas emissions. We promote and use renewable energy – 1,545 photovoltaic panels on the roofs of buildings completed in 2022.
We build housing developments with the need to reduce carbon emissions, protect biodiversity and water resources in mind.
100% of ROBYG housing estates have a minimum of 5 low-emission solutions. Implementing ROBYG Green Standard. Declaration to use 100% electricity from renewable energy sources in construction processes by the end of 2024. Promotion and solutions for electro-mobility and micro-mobility in ROBYG housing estates.
We implement the assumptions of the ROBYG Group Environmental Policy. We take care of the protection of animal and plant species, among other things, by using appropriate guidelines for the green landscape architects and designers. 100% of our estates have biodiversity-friendly solutions, including offsetting the impact of our developments by creating new green areas, such as on garage slabs, roofs or walls. We apply land analysis for sustainability in the due diligence process.

The European Climate Pact, initiated by the European Commission, is part of the European Green Deal and will enable the EU to achieve climate neutrality in Europe by 2050, as the first continent in the world. The aim of the Green Deal is to balance the EU’s economy through converting climate and environmental challenges into opportunities and ensuring fair transformation.
By connecting systemic approaches – at the level of Green Deal policy with support for individual and institutional activities within the framework of the Climate Pact, together we have the chance to limit our negative impact on the climate.
Activities within the framework of the European Climate Pact, led by the Ambassadors, concentrate, in the first phase, on key areas from the point of view of benefits for citizens and the environment, i.e., in the area of green land, green mobility, energy saving buildings and ecological skills. The work of the Ambassador is therefore the co-creation of climate policy, conveying scientifically checked information and promoting pro-ecological activities as well as shaping a healthy and happy society, connecting local initiatives on a national and international level.
– was chosen by the European Commission as the Climate Pact Ambassador in Poland. Thanks to her nomination Anna Wojciechowska has joined the group of 19 such Ambassadors in Poland.
