Piraeus Bank is among the top 400 Climate Leader companies in Europe for the second consecutive year, according to the Financial Times.
Piraeus Bank is the only Greek company included in the Financial Times list of “Europe’s Climate Leaders” in 2022 thanks to the great reduction of its Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions over the five-year period from 2015 to 2020.
Since 2019, when the bank became one of the founding partners of the United Nations Principles for Responsible Banking, Piraeus Bank has been systematically progressing towards sustainable banking by developing infrastructure, policies, and strategies that integrate the best ESG (Environmental, Social, and Corporate) criteria in its operations.
