Our responsible banking strategy announced in 2019 guides the bank’s actions for the coming years and identifies climate protection and the environment as key areas. We have committed to:

  • offering environmentally friendly „green” products and solutions,
  • undertaking educational activities aimed at customers, employees and local communities,
  • implementing internal initiatives to reduce the bank’s environmental footprint.

As part of these aspirations, we have set the following targets for the coming years:
