Sustainability strategy of Česká spořitelna
focuses on three main areas:
As the country's largest bank, we see our shared responsibility for the long-term sustainable prosperity of Czech society and want to accelerate changes that foster respect for people and the environment. Česká spořitelna is based on its core mission, which commits us to supporting the long-term and sustainable prosperity of clients and society with respect for the environment.
Sustainability is integrated into Česká spořitelna's core strategy so that it gradually spreads through everything we do. This effort defines the three main areas of impact of our work that we focus on: #stronger bank, #stronger clients and #stronger society.
We want to be an example that socially responsible companies are more stable, better prepared for future challenges and have better long-term results. We strive to show that sustainability does not have to mean limitations, but can instead be a driving force for innovation and long-term success for Česká spořitelna, our clients and the entire Czech economy.
"200 years ago, we made a commitment to lead individuals, businesses and communities to prosperity. Sustainability is not a goal for us, but a principle that permeates everything we do. Whether it's social responsibility, inclusion, equality or respect for people and nature. For me, sustainability is not only a professional value, but also a life approach that influences our decision-making and motivation for long-term change."
