For yet another year, the bank has been recognized as one of the most ethical organizations in Poland in the 12th edition of the ‘Etyczna Firma’ competition.

This time, the jury recognized the bank for:
- the maturity of its governance system;
- initiatives that strengthen a culture of responsibility;
- clear ‘speak‑up’ standards;
- advanced cybersecurity tools;
- openness to diversity, which fosters an environment built on trust and aligned with values.

Today, an ethical organization is one that consistently applies principles of responsibility in every aspect of its activity — from strategy and corporate governance, through everyday business decisions, to responding to challenges and risks associated with new technologies. The bank’s business strategy.
We help you achieve more”, reflects a holistic approach in which ethical standards are an integral part of the management system, organizational culture, and relationships with all stakeholder groups. This includes a comprehensive compliance system, regularly updated policies and procedures, mandatory training for employees and managers, effective channels for reporting irregularities, and continuous monitoring of ethical, reputational, and regulatory risks.
The bank also addresses challenges related to cybersecurity and the responsible use of artificial intelligence, treating data protection, digital security, algorithm transparency, and the ethical use of AI as key elements of its operations.
These aspects are covered by formal policies and oversight. Education is particularly important in the activities of Santander Bank Polska — both financial education and digital security education. The bank conducts projects that support the financial health of customers and employees, teaching, among others, conscious financial management and how to stay safe online
