Hellenic Bank is committed to sustainable development by combining financial performance with environmental and social responsibility and implementing sound governance practices. 

We are adopting a strategic approach towards sustainability and ESG, and the relevant ESG principles are taken into consideration when evaluating business risks and opportunities as this will add value to our stakeholders.

We are forming our ESG strategy in line with international and European sustainability standards and frameworks. In this respect we have mapped our ESG strategic pillars to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The SDGs, were set up in 2015 by the United Nations General Assembly setting out an ambitious plan to end poverty, fight inequality, and protect the planet. 

The SDGs are global, universal and interconnected, providing a common language, both to governments and businesses, for contributing to solving these challenges, while generating new business opportunities. Each SDG has specific targets that need to be achieved by 2030 .
