Supplier Relationship Management [G1-2]

We place great importance on partnership-based relationships with our suppliers, regardless of the size of their businesses. Our approach focuses on building long-term relationships based on mutual trust and equality. Suppliers are selected on equal terms, in accordance with internal procedures, best practices, and applicable Polish law.
The course of the Bank’s purchasing processes is defined by three key regulations:
- the Procurement Policy of Bank Polska Kasa Opieki Spółka Akcyjna, the Rules for Procurement by the Procurement Department at Bank Polska Kasa Opieki Spółka Akcyjna, and the Rules for Procurement Without the Involvement of the Procurement Department at Bank Polska Kasa Opieki Spółka Akcyjna.
These documents are regularly reviewed to ensure they remain up to date. In December 2024, an amendment to the Procurement Policy came into force, incorporating ESG factors and provisions addressing greenwashing concerns. However, these policies do not define specific sustainability-related objectives based on measurable outcomes.

By requiring the completion of the Questionnaire for all procurement processes at the Bank, regardless of contract value or supplier size, we demonstrate the importance of sustainability, environmental protection, and human rights compliance within our supply chain and among our business partners. By enforcing this requirement, we do not identify value chain risks in this area.
