The Selection and Suitability Assessment Policy also defines the criteria for assessing the individual and collective suitability of candidates and members of the Bank’s Management Board, the Supervisory Board, and key function holders both at the appointment stage and throughout their tenure. It also outlines the events triggering a suitability assessment, the process for conducting such assessments – including roles and responsibilities – and the consequences of the assessment, including corrective measures necessary to ensure compliance with suitability requirements.
Suitability Assessment

The Bank adheres to the Policy for the Selection and Suitability Assessment of Candidates for the Management Board, Supervisory Board and Key Function Holders, approved by the Supervisory Board on 30 December 2020 (hereinafter: “Selection and Suitability Assessment Policy”). Its purpose is to ensure an optimal and uniform process for selecting candidates for Management Board and Key Function positions so that tasks related to the implementation of the Bank’s business plans and strategies are performed by individuals possessing the necessary knowledge, experience, and skills, while also maintaining a good reputation.
In 2024, initial and subsequent individual suitability assessments were conducted, as well as collective suitability assessments of the Supervisory Board and Management Board members. Additionally, suitability assessments were conducted following changes in the roles held by the Bank’s governing body members.
Subsidiaries have implemented Suitability Assessment Policies in accordance with applicable legal regulations.
