How we create value
We are the largest bank in Poland. We are also one of the largest financial institutions in Central and Eastern Europe and, consequently, we have a significant impact on the environment in which we operate, and external factors are of fundamental importance in determining trends in our development.
That is why we have decided to join the group of companies reporting in an integrated manner. In our opinion, this is the best way to report the Bank’s operations in the broadest possible context. We show how we build value not only for ourselves as the organization but also for our stakeholders.
