Responsible Entrepreneurship

Piraeus Bank Group’s aims, through its activities, towards society’s prosperity, the protection of the environment and the support of a sustainable tomorrow for everyone.

This hinges on the development of Sustainable Banking – through the adoption of a comprehensive strategy for implementation of Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG) criteria – that combines growth and financial performance with social and environmental viability. In this context, together with 29 other banks in the United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI), we have co-developed the Principles for Responsible Banking, which currently have been adopted by over 190 banks around the world.

At Piraeus Bank, we are accelerating our technological transformation, introducing a new way of banking. We offer innovative products and services, providing incentives for enterprises and personal banking clients, to participate in the journey towards a sustainable economy, a sustainable society. We invest in responsible strategies and programmes that support society, with the goal of making our impact positive and lasting, with benefits for everyone. We support investments with a positive social impact and we create social responsibility programs and initiatives that promote sustainable development of economy and society.
