In the Strategy, which is currently in force, we set a target whereby 90% of suppliers participating in procurement processes should declare compliance with the Supplier Code of Ethics. At the end of 2025, the result was 97.93%, and it is monitored annually by the Strategy and Risk Development Department and the ESG function. The target was defined in 2025; therefore, we do not present comparative data for 2024.
Metrics and targets [G1-4]
Objectives for supplier cooperation
Incidents of corruption or bribery [G1-4]
In 2025, there were no cases where convictions or fines were imposed on our Bank or its employees for breaches of anti-corruption regulations and anti-bribery provisions. We also recorded no court cases involving the Bank or its employees relating to corruption or bribery.
In 2025, the Bank made no donations to external entities, except for funds transferred to the Bank Pekao S.A. Foundation for its operations, which also include sponsorship and donations.
Payment practices [G1-6]
Fair and transparent business relationships, timely settlement of liabilities and favourable commercial terms are a priority for our organisation. Although there is currently no single, formalised payment policy for the entire Group, financial liabilities are settled in accordance with the provisions of individual agreements with suppliers.
According to the analysis of data from IT systems, the average payment processing time measured from the moment the invoice is received until the day it is paid amounted to 21.34 days in 2025 (compared to an average of 17.92 days in 2024). We do not have a policy defining standard payment terms (in number of days) therefore, we do not report the percentage of invoices paid in accordance with such terms broken down by main supplier categories. Since we do not have established standard payment terms, we are unable to provide the average number of days of invoice payment delays. The absence of any new legal disputes with suppliers initiated in 2025 regarding payment delays may indicate that such delays are of a purely technical nature.
In 2025 we have recorded one legal proceeding concerning payment delays, which had already been disclosed in the Statement for 2024. It is pending before the court of first instance and concerns claims related to late payment of lease rent for a property whose right of use the Bank previously disposed of.
