Partnerships for sustainable development

The Bank has a long-standing commitment to sustainability as a trusted financial institution, reliable business partner and responsible employer.

On May 5, 2021, Pekao Bank joined the Partnership for the Implementation of the Environmental Sustainable Development Goals „Together for the Environment” in cooperation with the National Environmental Foundation. It is a declaration of active support and implementation of projects to achieve the environmental UN Sustainable Development Goals. As part of it, the Bank, along with 21 other business representatives, announced its commitments on September 16, 2021 climate, i.e. .: reduction of the carbon footprint by 2030 – achievement of own climate neutrality (scope 1 and 2. GHG Protocol) and reducing CO2 emissions in the value chain (Scope 3. GHG Protocol).

Confirmation of the Bank’s long-term and comprehensive approach to achieving the ESG goals came when it joined the United Nations Global Compact (hereafter UNGC) on October 19, 2021. Membership in the UN Global Compact means participation in the world’s largest platform of corporate sustainability leaders, representing almost every business sector. The Bank thus reaffirmed its readiness to work towards the 2030 Agenda and to integrate the 10 Principles of the UN Global Compact into its strategies, committing itself to far-reaching social, economic and environmental goals.
