We perceive sustainability as a holistically integrated concept that is firmly tied to our long-term vision – to create values that endure and positively impact society and people's lives. Our strategy is reflected in every detail, whether it involves more sustainable consumption, supporting local businesses, or fostering a fairer working environment, thereby helping to create a meaningful and more harmonious world for us and future generations.
Sustainability as a Lifelong Commitment: 200 Years of Inspiration
Petra Ondrušová
Chief Sustainability Officer
Our journey to long-term sustainability has been unfolding for 200 years. From today's perspective, it is almost unbelievable that our mission—to guide individuals, businesses, and communities to prosperity—has been with us since our very foundation. I cannot imagine a more solid basis for all the steps we take on this path.
We Grow with Everyone Who Is #Stronger Thanks to Us
As the largest and the most traditional bank in the country, we recognize our shared responsibility for the long-term sustainable prosperity of Czech society. We want to accelerate changes that enhance respect for people and the environment. Sustainability is embedded in Česká spořitelna's core strategy so that it gradually permeates everything we do. This effort defines three main areas of impact our work focuses on: #stronger bank, #stronger clients, and #stronger society.
