It was an amazing concert of combined choirs! The Olivia Centre Choir under the direction of Wiktoria Pagieła and the Chamber Choir under the direction of Małgorzata Kuchtyk have once again invited you to join us on a musical journey. This time we were swaying to the rhythm of hits in Olivia Garden.

 

The repertoire includes well-known and popular pieces from the genre of popular music, sung to the accompaniment of Adam Pietrzak – piano / keyboards and Jarosław Stokowski – double bass / bass guitar. This train takes you on a journey without a ticket!

 

About the Chamber Choir
We are a vocal-instrumental ensemble. We play and sing songs by various authors and in different musical styles – from gospel to the most popular songs of The Beatles or Stevie Wonder. Our mission is to have fun and infect others with passion and energy. The beginnings of the choir date back to 2007, but we have been singing in the form we have been singing in today since 2009. During this time, we played in various places – the Baltic Philharmonic, the cultural centre in Kartuzy, the Sheraton Hotel, the Forest Opera, cafes and restaurants. In 2011 we released the album “Tuesday 17.30”, which includes m.in. “A Song Is Good for Everything” by the Old Men’s Cabaret or the jazz standard “On the Sunny Side of the Street”. In January 2017 we premiered our latest album “10/20”, where we present our arrangements of songs such as “Sweet dreams” by Eurythmics or “Hotel California” by Eagles.

The Olivia Centre Choir under the direction of Wiktoria Pagieła is a group of people of different ages, representing many organizations. Their love for music brought them together. Currently, the team consists of almost 50 people and brings together representatives of Olivia Centre companies, such as: Pomerania Development Agency, Amazon, Avaus, Bayer, EPAM Systems (Poland) sp. z o.o., Energa from the ORLEN Group, Kitrum, Lyreco, O4 Coworking, PKN Orlen S.A., RICOH Business Services, Skills Group, Winning Moves.

Olivia Centre’s second ESG report!

Posted on by Katarzyna Halicka

Once again, we have published an ESG (Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance) report. If you haven’t seen it yet, we recommend it!

The year 2022 was full of events that affected the day-to-day functioning of many areas of business. The Russian invasion of Ukraine, the ongoing consequences of the pandemic, the global economic slowdown and the ongoing climate change have made it necessary to responsibly adapt business to the changes, taking into account the legal framework and market requirements. The ESG report of Grupa Tonsa – the owner of Olivia Centre – is a summary of activities in the field of sustainable development and fulfilment of commitments to the community and the environment in 2022. 

 

 

Responsible construction 

In March 2022, Olivia Centre buildings renewed their WELL Health-Safety Rating certificates with the highest number of points that can be obtained. This is a repeat of the previous year’s achievement, when Olivia achieved such a result as the first investment in the world. WELL HSR certification is a data-driven, independently verified assessment of buildings that focuses on the analysis of operating policies, standards of use and maintenance. In addition, in 2022, Olivia Star received the final BREEAM certificate in the as-built phase, taking into account the arrangement of the lease space (Fully Fitted) with an Excellent grade.

 

We are aware that our actions have an impact on the environment in which we operate, which is why we take responsibility for them at every stage of the investment. All our buildings are designed and built according to the highest quality and environmental standards, which is confirmed by their high marks in the multi-criteria building certification. However, we set higher standards for ourselves. Through numerous upgrades and responsible operational decisions, we optimize our impact on the environment and people. Last year, we reduced our water consumption by as much as 33% compared to the base year, and the greenhouse gas intensity of Scope 1 and 2 decreased by as much as 21%. In addition, the implementation of the Tork Paper Circle programme has allowed us to reduce our Scope 3 emissions by a relative 3,040 kg of CO
2

.
– says Agata Kwapisiewicz, ESG Officer at Olivia Centre.

 

Stable business, engaged community 

Olivia Centre helps to develop local business and economy, attracting further investments in the region and enabling the creation of new jobs. The Centre also actively supports the activities of the local community associated with the Oliwa district, among others by supporting modernisation works in the district, organising activities for children and seniors and providing support to local schools.

 

Despite many challenges, 2022 ended for Olivia with record results in terms of office space leasing (92% of leased space at the end of 2022) and we attracted Residents representing new, previously absent industries.

 

A particular expression of the commitment of the community gathered around the business center were the actions that took place just a few hours after the Russian attack on Ukraine. The residents of Olivia Centre, with the full support and commitment of the centre’s team, were ready to help their neighbours. Olivia also joined the systemic support by providing a ground-floor premises for a “cost-free store” Take&Go, run by the Up Foundation on behalf of the City of Gdańsk. It was one of the city’s three distribution points for donations collected by the local government and its subordinate institutions.

 

In addition to the official organizational activities, many people had a need to implement additional, personal initiatives in the field of providing help. The details of these activities are also discussed in the ESG report for 2022.

 

The spontaneous but effective activity of the community associated with Olivia Centre once again made us realize how important it is to build a sense of belonging and agency. – adds Maciej Olszewski, who coordinates Olivia’s community initiatives on a daily basis.

What’s next?

The report prepared by Olivia Centre contains a summary of everything that is most important from the point of view of environmentally and socially responsible investments. It is a compendium of knowledge about the centre’s activities in 2022, as well as a commitment to make further progress in the field of sustainable development.

 

Our priority for the coming years is to maintain the status of Olivia Centre as a comfortable work space and a centre of business, leisure, culture and social engagement. In particular, this refers to the responsibility for the current implementations and setting higher and higher requirements in the area of planned investments, also by responding to the needs of individual stakeholders and extensive partnerships with scientific institutions at all levels, the local community and business environment institutions – sums up Bogusław Wieczorek, Management Board’s Plenipotentiary for Public Relations.

 

We are committed to taking action to ensure the health, safety and comfort of people. We also want to stay on track to limit global warming to 1.5°C. Last year, we launched a cyclical analysis of the real estate portfolio using the CRREM (Carbon Risk Real Estate Monitor) tool, which – together with the climate risk analysis carried out in accordance with the TCFD (Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures) guidelines – allowed us to develop an optimal decarbonisation path. Thanks to it, we have set ourselves further climate goals, which we presented in the report. – adds Agata Kwapisiewicz.

 

Methodology 

We have developed our ESG Report despite the fact that we are not obliged to do so. This decision is based primarily on the desire to communicate openly with our stakeholders and to point out important aspects related to caring for the environment, on which we undoubtedly have a huge impact. We are also aware of the fact that legislative changes, including the CSRD Directive, will soon have a significant impact on the expectations of our stakeholders. That is why we are already providing them with the information they will soon need, and the use of the most popular international reporting standards GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) will allow them to easily find the required data and compare it with the market. In addition, due to our membership in the UNGC, the report refers to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). – sums up Agata Kwapisiewicz.

Let’s protect the Baltic Sea!

Posted on by Katarzyna Halicka

The Baltic Sea is not only an element of our identity. It is a good that we should take special care of. How do we do it? Not particularly… It’s a sensitive sea. Including. Because they are characterized by low salinity and difficult access to ocean waters. But it is not the geographical conditions of the Baltic Sea that cause him difficulties. The truth is that the biggest problem of the Baltic Sea is… man.

 

It is us who have contributed to the fact that the following are listed as the greatest threats to the Baltic Sea:

  • increasing area of dead zones,
  • lack of effectively managed marine protected areas;
  • ghost nets,
  • the negative consequences of unsustainable fisheries for marine nature.

Today, the Baltic Sea is one of the most polluted seas in the world. It is a reservoir that undergoes enormous eutrophication, i.e. fertilization. The sea under great pressure from climate change; And finally, the sea, which, although not dying, needs our care and active action to remain as close as possible to the form we know.

 

In 2021, HELCOM (Helsinki Commission – Commission for the Protection of the Baltic Marine Environment) adopted an updated Baltic Sea Action Plan (BSAP).

It applies to m.in. biodiversity, eutrophication, hazardous substances, climate change, marine litter, shipping and fisheries. It contains about 200 specific actions to be taken to protect the Baltic Sea. All of them are to be implemented by 2030 at the latest.

 

The fate of the Baltic Sea also depends on us. Our day-to-day decisions (including holiday decisions) and our lifestyles have an impact on the fragile marine ecosystem. Let’s make our sea still as beautiful as you see it in the Olivia Star exhibition. What can we do to improve the condition of the Baltic Sea? Let’s be aware, responsible and more eco-friendly.

 

Let’s produce less waste:

  • let’s reduce the use of plastic (and preferably give it up); plastic is one of the most troublesome problems in the Baltic Sea (and beyond);
  • make informed purchasing decisions – buy only as much as you need;
  • segregate rubbish carefully;
  • Let’s try to give waste a second life.

 

Let’s reduce our daily water consumption:

  • do not turn on the water fully when it is not necessary;
  • turn off the water in moments (even short ones) when it is not being used;
  • take a shower instead of a bath;
  • use rainwater (e.g. for watering flowers);
  • Start the dishwasher only when it is full and use the “eco” programs.

 

Let’s take care of our ecosystem:

  • let’s check where our fish comes from and whether it is not threatened with extinction – some fish available in stores are protected and may come from illegal fishing;
  • pay attention to the composition of clothes and choose those that are made of natural fabrics;
  • let’s get involved in cleaning up forests, beaches, rivers and lakes;
  • Let’s plant trees.

 

Let’s reduce greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere:

  • Instead of a car, we should more often choose a bike ride or public transport;
  • choose products with energy efficiency class A;
  • turn off unused electronic devices;
  • Let’s use heating and cooling rationally.

Easier to and from Olivia!

Posted on by Katarzyna Halicka

Do you travel by car (but we still encourage you to commute by public transport or bicycle)? We have some useful and good information for you.

 

To make it easier for you to get in and out of Olivia, to reduce car, bicycle and pedestrian congestion during rush hours, and thus save time and fuel as drivers, we have decided on a few practical solutions that will accompany us from May 15th!

 

EASIER TO OLIVIA

  • There is already a roundabout next to Olivia Prime A, thanks to which you will be able to turn around safer , easier and smoother.
  • We have provided two-way traffic at Olivia Prime A – not only will you be able to leave the car parks in Olivia Six and Olivia Prime, but you will also be able to easily reach them.
  • During peak hours, you will save a few minutes, entering the Olivia Centre, the so-called ‘bypass’. Drivers from Gdansk are advised to skip the exit to our city centre (the one with the lights) and turn back at the first permitted place.

 

EASIER WITH OLIVIA

If you leave Olivia at critical hours (3:00 p.m., 4:00 p.m ., 5:00 p.m.), use our “ring road”.

  • You will avoid a “longer stop” at the main exit from Olivia.
  • And you will immediately turn to Gdynia without having to turn back.

 

REMEMBER!

There are special rules of the road in Olivia, which is indicated by the “residential zone” signs . That means m.in. that:

  • the pedestrian has the right of way over the vehicle and does not have to use the sidewalk or pedestrian path,
  • the permissible speed of the vehicle in the residential zone is 20 km/h,
  • a child up to 7 years of age may use the road without the supervision of an elderly person,
  • Leaving the residential zone onto the road is treated as joining the traffic.

THIS WILL BE USEFUL TO YOU

Olivia is always on a roll

Posted on by Katarzyna Halicka

Olivia Centre is an example of a business centre that goes far beyond the traditional approach to the customer. With a strong focus on innovation and flexibility, this dynamic workspace offers not only offices, but also an entire ecosystem that fosters business growth and success. At a time when competition in the job market is increasingly fierce, finding a way to motivate employees and keep them engaged has become extremely important to the success of an organization. Olivia Centre offers a range of sports and artistic activities, in which an increasing number of residents of the centre take part every year. The location of Olivia Centre on the Baltic Sea provides not only a wonderful view, but also a unique offer of cruises on the Bay of Gdańsk, dedicated to all members of the Olivia Centre community.

 

Olivia Yacht Club , as this is the name of the initiative, brings together not only experienced sailors, but also people who want to start their adventure with the sea in this way. You don’t have to be an employee of the Olivia Centre company to take part in the cruise, the organizers have also provided a pool of places for people without resident status. Cruises depart every Wednesday afternoon, usually from Marina Sopot. A place on the boat can be booked in the My Olivia app or on the oliviacentre.com website.

 

Beautiful views from the high floors of my office are not the only benefit of Olivia’s seaside location. All Residents can easily join the cruises on the Bay of Gdansk, individually or even with the whole team, or you can invite a loved one. Taking part in the cruise does not require any complicated preparations, you book a place, pay an attractive price, and then set off on an adventure from the port of Sopot. I recommend it to anyone who likes the sun on their face, wind in their hair and rocking on the sea waves. ­– says Maciej Zielonka, Function developing engineer at Sii Poland.

 

There are more satisfied sailors like Maciej Zielonka. Qualitative research conducted among Residents (employees of companies in Olivia Centre) at the end of 2022 indicates that attendance in offices is increasing on sports activity days. Despite the fact that hybrid work has recently gained in importance, we recorded 45% higher attendance in our buildings than in 2021 and the highest number of events in history organized at the Olivia Centre. This would not have been possible without Olivia’s community.
