The European Commission has granted strategic project status to two KGHM initiatives: the development of the Retków–Grodziszcze copper deposit and the transformation of the Legnica Copper Smelter into an integrated recycling facility. These projects, valued at 9.5 billion zł, are deemed crucial for the EU's raw material security, according to Bankier.pl and Money.pl. This status is expected to facilitate the planning and execution of the investments.

Impact KGHM benefits from EU support, enhancing its project execution capabilities and potentially boosting its market position.
