Bank Pekao attaches great importance to managing its relations with stakeholders, taking into account their needs and providing them with equal access to information. Therefore, the Bank is actively, transparently and effectively communicating with all Bank stakeholders using a variety of communication tools.

  • investors, market analysts and rating agencies,
  • customers,
  • employees,
  • suppliers,
  • general public,
  • media,
  • supervisory institutions, such as: the Financial Supervision Committee, the Bank Guarantee Fund, the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection, the National Bank of Poland, the Financial Stability Committee, the National Securities Depository.

As a result of the analysis, it is these stakeholder groups that have been identified as particularly important, given the Bank’s business model, strategy implementation and future development.

The “Principles of the Bank’s information policy regarding contacts with investors, securities market analysts, media and customers” regulate how communication with the external environment is carried out, with the goal of ensuring that communication is effective and provides universal and equal access to information while maintaining high standards. The principles of the Bank’s information policy are published on the website1. The Bank’s list of important stakeholders has not changed in 2023.
