Piraeus & Corporate Responsibility
To us, practical support for social cohesion is a priority. Through targeted actions and programmes, we empower the most vulnerable groups, we promote equality and we create equal opportunities for all. The Equall - For a Society of Equal People programme is just one of our initiatives that combats inequalities by promoting gender equality and supporting the young generation. Furthermore, we invest in education, training and skills enhancement, helping people from all social groups to develop and achieve their goals.
As an active member of society, we recognise the value of cultural heritage and contemporary creativity. Through actions that support culture, we encourage the cultivation of the intellect, the preservation of traditions, and the promotion of art as a lever for social progress.
At the same time, protection of the environment is an integral part of our philosophy. We are committed to initiatives that reduce our ecological footprint, we promote green growth, and we encourage the transition to a more sustainable economy by supporting innovative and environmentally friendly solutions.
We are the first Greek bank to have signed the Women’s Empowerment Principles of the UN Global Compact and UN Women, making specific commitments to develop actions that will strengthen and promote gender equality. In addition, we entered for the second consecutive year the 2023 Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index (GEI), which tracks and evaluates the performance of companies committed to transparency of their data related to the implementation of policies and actions they develop for Gender Equality.
Piraeus Bank, as a responsible corporate citizen, is steadily moving towards a more sustainable future, adopting policies that link economic growth with social progress, culture, and respect for our planet.
