Oversight of environmental, social and governance – ESG (E – environmental, S – social, G – governance) issues and the implementation of the strategic sustainability goals included in the GObeyond strategy is carried out by the Management Board, led by the CEO. The Management Board approves the direction and scope of activities, and gives its opinion and supervises the integration of sustainability activities into the Bank's business activities. As part of its oversight and management of ESG issues, the Board takes into account the voices and opinions of stakeholders resulting from reports received, customer and employee surveys and information from ongoing partnerships with NGOs. Reports and research are presented, among others, at the Board meetings. [...] Sustainability is one of the four key pillars of GObeyond 2022-2025 strategy, and therefore members of the Management Board are required to meet annual ESG targets, and these are cascaded sequentially within the Bank's structures. In 2023, ESG targets have been assigned to senior managers, members of the Sustainability Council, all those employed in the Sustainability Area units and those responsible for developing and selling sustainable products and services. In addition, the Bank actively promotes the adoption of ESG targets among managers and employees. The Bank strives to ensure that all employees adhere to the principles of sustainable development as the basis of the organisational culture and implement measurable ESG. [...] The Bank's strategic approach to ESG issues is reflected in the separation of sustainability competences in the organisational structure. The Sustainability Area was created in 2022 to coordinate sustainability tasks. The Executive Director of the Area reports directly to the CEO. His role is also to inform the Management Board and the Supervisory Board about: ESG issues, related risks and opportunities, the implementation of due diligence and the results and effectiveness of ESG policies and activities. In addition, the Executive Director of the Sustainability Area heads the cross-cutting structure of the Sustainability Community, acting as Chief Sustainability Officer. [...] Sustainability efforts are supported by the Sustainability Community, which consists of: • Sustainability Council, made up of 20 representatives of the Bank's key areas and business lines, • Sustainability Officers, i.e. 250 employees selected through an internal recruitment process who, in addition to their daily duties, have taken on the role of supporting the implementation of ESG initiatives in the organisation. The task of the interdisciplinary and cross-cutting community is to bring together different competences and undertakings alongside the structures already in place. The Sustainability Council is responsible for ensuring that the strategic objectives related to the GObeyond strategy are understood and shared across all areas of the Bank's business and among Clients. The Council's responsibilities include defining and monitoring strategic ESG activities, overseeing the development of sustainable products and services and linking initiatives across different areas of the organisation. The Council is also responsible for approving relevant reporting topics. Sustainability Officers coordinate and implement activities on sustainability and ESG aspects and work closely with the Sustainability Council. [...] The main policies, procedures and other documents governing due diligence issues related to ESG aspects at Group and Bank level are approved by the Management Board through an appropriate resolution. Policies and procedures of an internal and confidential nature are available to employees through the Intralex system. Policies and procedures of a non-confidential nature are available to external stakeholders through the Bank's website. Each policy and procedure has an assigned regulatory owner who is responsible for: the implementation of the commitments, the integration of the commitments into the Bank's business strategy, and the provision of the necessary training in this area.
