Our ESG strategy

ESG Environmental, social and governance aspects play a crucial role in the way we manage our company. As ESG aspects constitute an integral part of our activity, they are reflected and embedded in mBank Group’s business strategy for 2021-2025. At the mid-point of the strategy completion, in December 2023 we have revisited our goals and redefined them from the perspective of their further integration into our priorities, activity, risk and management processes.

 

We have applied global best practices, exemplified by alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the UNEP FI Principles for Responsible Banking and the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

 

We aim to:

  • reduce to zero greenhouse gas emissions generated both directly by ourselves and by the credit portfolio we finance
  • support sustainable growth with both financial and non-financial benefit of the society and our clients
  • build credible relationships and strengthen the trust of our stakeholders by acting transparently and in line with ESG values.

Environment (E)

    • Reducing greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions of our loan portfolio, steered by SBTi as the most prominent driver to become net-zero
    • Partnering with our clients by offering products and services to stimulate their sustainable and green activities
    • Limiting own GHG emissions by decarbonizing our operations

Social (S)

    • Providing an attractive work environment that ensures diversity, equity and inclusion
    • Ensuring balanced gender representation at mBank Group
    • Making social impact through fostering financial health and education of our clients

Governance (G)

    • Integrating environmental, social and governance risks with mBank’s risk management
    • Enhancing our corporate governance by ESG aspects
    • Promoting transparency and ESG standards among our business partners
