Green strategy

We come from traditional industry. Our business know-how helped us to modify strategic directions and transform into an investor supporting the green transformation. Today, we make use of this knowledge to develop our portfolio companies.

Europe’s energy transition catalyzes Grenevia’s development

The new strategic orientation includes taking advantage of the potential and opportunities arising from Poland’s energy transition, which will catalyze Grenevia’s development.

Investments in low-emission projects

The irreversible shift of climate and energy policy and energy policy towards low-carbon economies is currently the prevailing paradigm.

This global megatrend creates an excellent opportunity to invest in leading green transformation entrepreneurs and make better use of their operational base.

Our green transformation strategy

In 2021, we changed our business model – from a monoproducer of mining machinery to an investor supporting the construction of a low-emission economy. Two years later, we announced the Sustainable Development Strategy, which is our declaration of responsible investing and business expansion.
