Management Board Report on activity of Bank Millennium S.A. and
Capital Group of Bank Millennium S.A. for 2024
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
Bank Millennium is entering a new strategic cycle. In October 2024, we presented our action plan for
the next 4 years: "Strategy 2028 - Value and Growth". We plan further dynamic growth, as clearly
illustrated by the targets of doubling the loan portfolio in the corporate banking segment to over PLN
25 billion and increasing the number of active retail clients to 3.7 million.
We are approaching the implementation of the goals of the new strategy from a strong business,
capital, and liquidity position. In 2024, we commemorated the 35th anniversary of our establishment,
marking the strategic achievement of reaching 150 thousand active customers in the micro-enterprise
segment. The year concluded with a net profit of PLN 719 million, representing a 25% year-over-year
increase. This commendable outcome was achieved despite facing significant challenges impacting
our business, particularly the high costs associated with the portfolio of mortgage loans in foreign
currencies. Nevertheless, the resolution of the Swiss franc issue is anticipated within the next year
and a half, barring any unforeseen developments. According to our base scenario, the expected
improvement in profitability over the coming years should enable us, contingent upon achieving the
targets, to plan for the resumption of dividend payments in 2027, derived from the profits of 2026.
The Bank has made a refreshed mobile application available to retail customers. We have launched a
Currency Exchange Desk, which is the possibility of exchanging currencies directly in our mobile
application. We have implemented the BLIK Pay Later deferred payment service. For corporate clients
operating in the e-commerce industry, we have launched the Millennium PAY payment gateway. We
have introduced the prestigious Visa Global credit card, which is part of a refreshed offer for affluent
clients and the new Millennium 360 Prestige account, which was launched at the beginning of 2025.
In 2024, the Bank also implemented generative artificial intelligence (genAI) solutions. The latest
technology supports document analysis, complaints, and transcription of phone calls and chats. We
are also starting to use it in the software development and testing process. We see great potential in
the use of genAI in marketing and communication with customers, especially in the field of service
personalisation.
In 2024, we focused strongly on the implementation of activities in the area of sustainable
development, which is an integral part of our processes, an important part of the organisational
culture and one of the pillars of the Bank's strategy. We continued our efforts to reduce Scope 1 and
Scope 2 emissions, and for the first time we calculated emissions from our loan and lease portfolio,
which forms the basis for planning further decarbonisation efforts. We have devoted a lot of attention
to the development of ESG risk management and improving our approach to the impact of this risk on
the financed entities and projects. To support companies in the implementation of pro-environmental
projects, we have been developing our green loan portfolio, providing an offer tailored to the needs
of customers and helping them obtain support from public programmes. Last year, we also completed
our first issue of green bonds under the green bond framework of our EMTN Program, which ensure
the flow of money towards environmentally friendly initiatives. We have further ambitious goals ahead
of us, building commitment to the sustainable transformation of business and the economy.
We are closely following the development of our Our People'24: Save the Planet campaign. As part of
the sports challenge, employees of the Bank Millennium Group exercise and cover kilometres, which
are converted into PLN. The money goes to the Bank Millennium Foundation's account. This year, the
initiative attracted over 1400 employees, who covered over 530 thousand kilometres on legs and
wheels and performed almost 19 thousand various types of exercises. The amount of PLN 250 thousand
was used for the implementation of almost 50 projects as part of employee eco-volunteering. Over
200 volunteers used one and a half thousand hours to, among other things, help those affected by the
flood in southern Poland. The Bank also provided support, among others by allocating a subsidy to the
Polish Red Cross and Caritas Poland and by providing customers with the opportunity to provide help
as part of the Pomagam Transfer in our mobile application.
In 2024, Bank Millennium achieved many successes that strengthened its position on the market. We
won the title of the best digital Bank in Poland by the Global Finance magazine. For the second year
in a row, we won the "Newsweek's Friendly Bank" ranking in both categories: "Traditional Banking" and
"Remote Banking". We triumphed in the TOP 3 list of the best banks for companies in Poland according
to Forbes magazine. We have also received the title of "Top Employer Polska 2024", confirming high

standards in human resources management. Millennium Docs Against Gravity, festival supported by
Bank Millennium, appeared on the list of festivals qualifying for the Oscars®.
Before concluding, I would like to express my deep thanks to Bogusław Kott for years of leadership,
inspiration and chairmanship. Mr. Kott, that was one of the founders of the Bank and served as its
CEO and then Chairman of the Supervisory Board during 36 years, has now decided to limit his
professional activity.
Our Bank is made up of exceptional people who are able to implement valuable and groundbreaking
projects. It is thanks to the commitment of each of the Group's employees that Bank Millennium not
only achieves such good financial results, but also strengthens its competitive advantage. We are a
trusted partner to our customers and shareholders. We are constantly implementing innovations and
raising market standards. I believe that we can look with optimism at the next challenges that we are
facing. Enjoy reading the Report.

Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
2. SUMMARY OF CONSOLIDATED BM GROUP RESULTS IN 2024
2024 in brief
While 2023 was a breakthrough year for Bank Millennium S.A. (‘Bank’) and Bank Millennium S.A.
Capital Group’s (‘BM Group’, ‘Group’) with all quarters in the black and a positive full-year net result,
2024 was no less eventful and successful. It brought continued solid performance of the core business,
further solidifying profitability. Reported FY2024 net profit grew 25% to PLN719 million. The capital
position remained stable and solid with capital surplus exceeding 5 percentage points over minimum
regulatory requirements.
A number of new or revamped products was introduced during the year, numerous business initiatives
yielded significant results while most KPIs from the 2022-2024 strategy were delivered ahead of plan.
Furthermore, many prestigious awards received in 2024 proved continued focus on quality, innovation
and client centricity.
In May and June respectively, the Capital Protection and Recovery plans were formally completed.
Also in June, Millennium Bank Hipoteczny, the mortgage subsidiary, successfully placed its inaugural
issue of covered bonds, while in September the Bank issued its first green bonds (MREL SNPs of a total
value of EUR500 million), significantly strengthening the surplus over MREL requirements.
A new strategy (“Strategy 2028 – Value & Growth”) was adopted in October following a period of
intense work. Apart setting ambitious financial and business targets, the strategic plan includes an
ambition to return to dividend payments in 2027.
Last but not least, while costs related to the legacy portfolio of FX-mortgage loans remained a heavy
burden on 2024 results, the continued efforts to reduce this risk took decreased the portfolio below
the materiality threshold. In early 2025 the progress of FX-mortgage risk reduction was acknowledged

2024 results in brief
BM Group reported profit of PLN719 million (up 25% y/y) in 2024 overall, translating into reported
ROE of 9.8% (9.1% in 2023). This solid result was achieved despite persistent elevated costs related
to FX-mortgage portfolio (PLN2,558 million after tax) and cost of credit holidays (PLN91 million after
tax), and the return to the payment of asset tax (banking tax) since June.
2024 net profit without FX-mortgage related costs and without positive (e.g. capital gains on
bancassurance transaction in 2023, lack of banking tax in 2023 and part of 2024) and negative items
(e.g. credit holidays) would amount to a record level of PLN3,202 million (up 7% y/y) translating into
an adjusted ROE of 18.5% (2023: 21.7%).

Solid growth of operating performance, implementation of 2021-24 strategy completed
2024 was a year of solid performance from the operating perspective. Loan growth remained
moderate (impact of fast contracting FX-mortgage portfolio) but corporate book showed early signs
of recovery (up 5% y/y). Liquidity surplus increased further (deposits up 9% y/y) while L/D ratio
reached a new low of 64%. Combined with lowered deposit pricing this translated into further growth
of NII (reported up 5% y/y, adjusted for credit holidays up 7% y/y). Additionally, volume of investment
products grew 35% y/y to PLN11.1 billion.

Some of strategic targets initially set for 2024 had been already achieved in 2023, but it did not stop
the solid momentum in 2024 and either the most of the remaining KPIs were met as planned or YE24
target were exceeded further (see further pages for details on progress of the implementation of
2022-2024 strategy). Of the latter, key to highlight are the number of active customers retail clients
which remained in a steady uptrend and reached 3.148 million (up 5% y/y) at YE24, further exceeding
the initial target of 3 million, and the share of digitally active customers which increased further to
92% above the 90% target.

Stable capital position
Capital position of the Bank/Group was broadly stable and some capital ratios actually improved in
2024. YE24 Group’s T1 capital ratio stood at 14.8%
1
compared to 14.7% at YE23, while Bank’s solo T1
capital ratio stood at 15.3%/15.4% respectively. At YE24 the respective surpluses over the required
minimums stood at 497 bps (Group) and 546 bps (Bank solo). Consolidated TCR stood at 17.2% (YE23:
18.1%), while this of the Bank solo at 18.0% (YE23: 19.0%).
The 9 basis points improvement of the Group’s T1 capital ratio in 2024 was a result of offsetting
impact of positive factors (recognition of 1H24 net profit into regulatory capital and lowering negative
impact of the revaluation reserve) with higher capital use resulting from increasing RWAs. Recognition
of 2H24 net profit in capital ratios (see comment on Management Board’s intention with regard to
2024 net profit distribution in the “Dividend policy” section) would, ceteris paribus, add around 90
basis points to capital ratios further widening the capital surplus. The impact of the securitisation
transaction completed in December 2024 would add 31 bps to consolidated YE24 T1 capital ratio and
35 bps to YE24 consolidated TCR.
1
This ratio does not include the impact of the synthetic loan securitisation completed in December 2024. The Bank is waiting
for confirmation of regulatory non-objection to the use of the transaction in the calculation of risk-weighted assets.

Consolidated T1 ratio evolution in 2024
In December 2024 the regulator decided on non-imposing of P2G buffer, while in January and February
the Bank received decisions from the regulator on revoking P2R buffers (so far 1.47 percentage points
on solo basis and 1.46 percentage points at consolidated basis ). These further widen the capital
surplus over the minimum required levels.
Additionally, the Bank meet its YE24 MREL targets with a significant surplus. At the end of December
2024, BM’s MREL trea stood at 28.1% while MREL tem at 8.7% vs. respective required levels of 20.8%
and 5.9%. Ceteris paribus, the surplus is expected to widen further once updated MREL requirements
will reflect the revoked P2R ratios.

Good momentum in settlements with FX-mortgage borrowers
2024 saw the number of signed settlements with FX-mortgage borrowers accelerating to 4.5 thousand
from 3.7 thousand in 2023. While in 2024 overall, the number of new settlements was below the
number of new cases filed against the Bank, 4Q24 brought a change of the proportion. In 4Q24 nearly
1.3 thousand such settlements were signed, above the number of new cases. Nearly 26,000
settlements have been reached since early 2020 when a more intensive effort started. These
represent over 42% of the number of active FX-mortgage agreements at the start of the effort.

Significant reduction of the size and share of legacy FX-mortgage book
As a result of settlements, final court verdicts and other natural drivers, in 2024 the number of active
FX-mortgage loans decreased by 7,852 to 24,573, following the 5,586 drop in 2003. As a result of
these trends, the pace of BM’s FX-mortgage portfolio’s contraction accelerated and in 4Q24 it
decreased 9% (in CHF terms, gross, w/o impact of allocated legal risk provisions) while the y/y
contraction rate accelerated to 26%. The share of total FX-mortgage book (gross loans less allocated
legal risk provisions) in total Group’s gross loans dropped to 1.8% at the end of December ‘24, while
the share of FX-mortgage loans originated by BM dropped to 1.5%. Without the adjustment for
allocated provisions, the share of FX-mortgage loans dropped below the 10% regulatory threshold
during 2024. As commented earlier, this was acknowledged by the regulator which in January and
February 2025 revoked the P2R buffer.

Other key developments in 2024
• in 2024, NII adjusted for credit holidays grew 7% y/y while the reported one was up 5% y/y; the
growth was driven by higher interest earning assets (IEAs), improving profitability of the bond
portfolio and lower cost of deposits; these offset higher costs related to issuance of MREL bonds
(EUR500mn issues in September’23 and September’24);
NII excluding cost of credit holidays (PLNmn)
• NIM remained broadly stable through 2024 with 4Q24 NIM of 4.37% comparing against 4.24% in 4Q23;
full year NIM narrowed to 4.36% from 4.60% in 2023, reflecting interest rate cuts in late 2023 (average
3M WIBOR in 2024 was 5.86% vs. 6.53% in 2023); higher IEAs and changing asset mix had the most
pronounced impact on NIM, offsetting the steadily decreasing cost of deposits;

Net interest margin (NIM)
• cost inflation was sticky for most of 2024 with reported opex up 13% y/y; legal costs and higher

FX-mortgage portfolio and related costs remained a significant burden on core business results
Costs related to FX-mortgage portfolio originated by BM (legal risk provisions, costs of settlements
as well as legal and court costs) remained a material drag on the core business of the Group. In 2024
overall, FX-mortgage costs burdening P&L totalled PLN3,219 million before tax (PLN2,558 million after
tax) and were 9% lower than in the previous year. While the cost of new legal risk provisions dropped
30% y/y, other elements – namely settlements and legal and court costs – grew significantly.
FX-mortgage related costs (PLNmn pre-tax)*
(*) Costs impacting P&L in the given period and without costs related to FX-mortgages originated by former Euro Bank
Total cost of provisions against legal risk related to FX-mortgage portfolio (‘FX-mortgage provisions’)
amounted to PLN2,179 million before tax with PLN1,979 (2023: PLN2,828) attributable to FX-
mortgages originated by Bank Millennium. The downtrend in quarterly legal risk charge lasts almost
uninterruptedly since 1Q23. Post-tax cost of FX-mortgage related provisions attributable to portfolio
originated by Bank Millennium totalled PLN 1,554 million in 2024 vs. PLN2,762 million in 2023.
In 2024, provisions for statutory interest accounted for over 40% of the overall legal risk provision cost
while the updated estimations for new court cases for approximately 25%.

Quarterly provisions against legal risk of FX-mortgage book (PLNmn)
At the end of December 2024, provisions for the portfolio originated by Bank Millennium were at the
level of PLN7,724 million (an equivalent of 122% of the grossed-up active FX-mortgage book) and at
PLN740 million for the portfolio originated by former Euro Bank. The y/y growth of PLN455 million of
balance of provisions for loans originated by Bank Millennium was much lower than the respective
annual P&L charge of PLN1,979 million. This was mainly due to the much increased use of these
provisions (PLN1,323 million in 2024 overall) and to a lesser extent an outcome of changes of PLNCHF
exchange rate. Allocated provisions, i.e. decreasing gross balance sheet value of the respective loan
books, stood at PLN5,163 million for portfolio originated by Bank Millennium and PLN502 million for
portfolio originated by former Euro Bank.

Outstanding legal risk provision as % outstanding active gross loans
Note: legal risk provisions/active gross FX mortgage book (post IFRS9 adjustments where necessary); excl. f.Euro Bank
portfolio in case of BM
On December 31, 2024, the Bank had 21,854 loan agreements and additionally 2,223 loan agreements
from former Euro Bank under individual ongoing litigations (excluding claims submitted by the Bank
against clients i.e. debt collection cases) concerning indexation clauses of FX mortgage loans
submitted to the court. A relatively small proportion of these (~16.0%) was filed by borrowers who
had repaid their FX-mortgages entirely or converted them into PLN mortgages at the date of
submitting the court case (~21% according to their current status), although they represent a higher
share of recently filed cases.
4Q24 was the first quarter when the number (stock) of outstanding claims against the Bank dropped
q/q, reflecting slowing inflow of new cases, higher number of final verdicts and last but not least
impact of settlements of cases which were already during dispute in court. It is also worth noting that
the quarterly number of new claims against the Bank averaged below 1,500 in 2024, below the 1,700+
in 2023. Moreover, since 3Q23 (quarterly peak with nearly 1,900 claims filed) the number of newly
filed claims has been in a steady decline, similarly to trends observed on the market overall and
among some peer banks. However, more time is required to confirm the trend.

Outstanding individual lawsuits against BM Group (FX-mortgages)
The Bank is highly focused on reduction of its FX-mortgage portfolio and the related risk and therefore
continues to actively offer its customers amicable solutions (i.a. conversions to Polish zloty, pre-
payments, early repayments or collectively ‘settlements’) regarding FX-mortgages on negotiated
terms. The number of all settlements reached 4,458 in 2024, significantly more than in the preceding
year. Nearly 26,000 settlements were reached since early 2020 when a more intensive effort started.
These represent over 42% of the number of active FX-mortgage agreements at the start of the effort.
As a result of these negotiations, final court verdicts and other natural drivers, in 2024 the number
of active FX-mortgage loans decreased by 7,852 to 24,573, following the 5,586 reduction in 2003
overall.
In 2024, costs related to settlements with borrowers who were not in legal dispute with the Bank
(“out-of-court settlements”) totalled PLN540 million pre-tax and were booked in FX-result and in
result on modifications. The cost of the settlements was higher, both in total value and per case, than
in 2023, reflecting, among others, an increasing number of settlements and changes to the terms
offered.
Additionally, 1,567 settlements with borrowers who were in legal dispute with the Bank (“in-court
settlements”) were reached in 2024 (35% of total) compared to 536 (15%) in 2023. Costs of these
settlements were booked against earlier created legal risk provision.

low borrowers’ interest in the scheme. Indeed, this was reflected in both 3Q24 and 4Q24 when
respectively PLN44 million and PLN45 million of the estimated cost was reversed. The final pre-tax
cost for the full year 2024 settled at PLN113 million.
1H24 tax line brought a positive value owing to number of items, including a recognition of DTA
totalling PLN223 million (1Q24: PLN52 million, 2Q24: PLN171 million) as well as 2022-23 CIT refunds
and reductions of current CIT liabilities. The DTA was, among others, related to future adjustments
of interest income earned on mortgage loans indexed to CHF and FX differences on these loans which
are the subject of court disputes for their cancellation. 3Q24 brought practically no change in the
amount of the earlier created DTA, while 4Q24 brought a PLN35 million decrease.
Results of BM Group are occasionally impacted by sale of NPLs. These are a part of ordinary conduct
of the business and management of the NPL portfolio and in recent years typically took place in 2Q
and 4Q. While 2Q24 saw PLN45 million pre-tax profit on the transaction (presented in credit risk line),
4Q24 brought a relatively higher than usual PLN74 million result on the NPL sale.
Legal and court costs related to FX-mortgage portfolio continued to burden BM Group’s through the
entire year 2024, but 4Q24 saw a cumulation of these costs (PLN166 million or 30% of full year
amount), as described in more details above in this report.
Lastly, the Bank returned to paying banking tax in 2Q24 (PLN35 million charge in June), and 3Q24 as
well as 4Q24 saw full quarterly charges of PLN99 million each in contrast to no charge in respective
quarters of the preceding year and full 2023.

3. INFORMATION FOR INVESTORS
3.1. SHARE PRICE PERFORMANCE
2024 proved to be volatile for the stock markets. The year started on a negative note, with market
sentiment weighed down by profit-taking after the strong rally in late 2023. However, the market
found its footing and rallied significantly, driven by optimistic projections of interest rate cuts by
major central banks and strong performance of banking sector stocks. In the middle of the year, the
global financial landscape faced turbulence due to Japan's unexpected interest rate hike. The
resulting a sharp appreciation of the yen and a subsequent unwinding of yen carry trades also had a
spillover effect on global equities, including Polish indices. In the latter part of the year, geopolitical
tensions, notably the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, outcomes of elections and other events continued
to influence market dynamics.
During the 12 months ending 31 December 2024, WIG broad market index grew slightly 1%, WIG20
index of largest companies fell 6%, while WIG Banks outperformed the market, gaining 12%. In the
same period, share price of Bank Millennium grew 7%.

3.2. BANK MILLENNIUM’S RATINGS
Ratings of Bank Millennium
On April 26, 2024 Moody’s rating agency confirmed Bank’s long- and short-term deposit ratings at
Baa3/P-3 and changed the outlook on the long-term deposit ratings to positive from negative.
Additionally, Moody’s affirmed Bank’s BCA at ba3, Adjusted BCA at ba2, its (P)Ba2 rating for junior
senior unsecured MTN program and Ba2 rating for junior senior unsecured bonds of the Bank.
On June 28, 2024, Fitch Ratings upgraded the Bank’s Long-Term Foreign-Currency Issuer Default
Rating (LT IDR) and Long -Term Local Currency IDR (LC LT IDR) to 'BB+' and maintained outlooks for
these rating at ‘Positive’. Additionally, Fitch upgraded to ‘bb+’ the Viability Rating (VR) for the Bank
and upgraded to ‘BB+’ rating for the senior non-preferred bonds issued by the Bank.
According to Fitch ‘The upgrade reflects strong improvement in the bank's capital position resulting
in the completion of its recovery plan and our (Fitch) expectation that risks related to its legacy
foreign-currency (FC) mortgage loans will gradually abate. It also reflects our (Fitch) expectations
that the bank's improved core profitability will cushion the remaining impact of legal costs and credit
holidays, leading to a further recovery of the bank's capitalisation. The Positive Outlook reflects
Fitch's view that the ratings could be upgraded if continued reduction of risks related to FC mortgage
loans translates into a stronger business profile as underlined by steadily improving operating
profitability and a record of adequate capital buffers.’

4. MARKET CONDITIONS AND MACRO RISK FACTORS
4.1. MACROECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT
The year 2024 was a time of stable global GDP growth, albeit slower than before the pandemic,
weaker inflationary pressure and the beginning of monetary policy easing. However, the situation
varied across economies. The eurozone's GDP grew by only about 0.7% after growing by 0.4% a year
earlier. Germany, which was in recession for the second year in a row, contributed to the weakness.
The United States turned out to be a positive surprise, where GDP grew by 2.8% vs. 2.9% in 2023, i.e.
faster than the long-term average. Global inflation continued its downward trend in 2024, which,
together with less tight labour market in many economies, opened the door to interest rate cuts. The
external environment, especially low demand from the eurozone, Poland's most important trading
partner, did not help the growth of the Polish economy in 2024.
Poland: GDP and its forecasts (% y/y)
Macrobond, Bank Millennium, E - estimate, F - forecast
According to the International Monetary Fund's forecasts, the growth of the global economy in 2025
is expected to be stable, although trends, as in 2024, are likely to remain mixed. The IMF expects
growth to accelerate to 1.3% in the eurozone and to 0.8% in Germany. The rebound in activity in the
eurozone is expected to be accompanied by growth in the US of 2.2%, which is only slightly slower
than the long-term average. Weaker growth is also expected for China: 4.5% vs. 5.0% in 2024, although
plans of the Chinese government to loosen fiscal and monetary policy may allow the for growth rate
of 2024 to be sustained. Year 2025 should be a period of further declines in interest rates in many
economies, albeit at different scales and pace. The higher tariffs on imported goods implemented by
the U.S. administration significantly increase uncertainty about the situation in the global economy
in 2025.
Preliminary data indicate that GDP in Poland grew by 2.9% in 2024 after growing by 0.1% in 2023,
which turned out to be in line with the Bank's expectations from the year before. The main driver of
growth was household consumption, which increased by 3.1% after a decline of 0.3% a year earlier. It
was supported by a very good situation on the labour market. The registered unemployment rate
stood at 5.1% at the end of the year, the same as at the end of 2023, and wage growth accelerated
to ca. 13.5% y/y from 13.1% y/y, helped by a strong increase in the minimum wage. Rising wages and
increased social transfers (i.a. the 800 plus programme) significantly improved the income situation
of households, although consumption growth in 2024 turned out to be weaker than expected. Positive
real interest rates and uncertainty related to inflation and the economic environment have increased
the savings rate. Investments in fixed assets only slightly supported the economy, growing by 1.3%
y/y after an increase of 12.6% y/y a year earlier. Their strong slowdown is due to the initial phase of
absorption of European Union funds under the cohesion policy and the National Recovery Plan, as well

and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
as due to high interest rates. On the other hand, the net exports had a negative impact on the GDP
growth, which resulted from weak foreign demand.
The global disinflation trend in 2024 has not bypassed Poland. The average annual CPI inflation
dropped to 3.6% y/y from 11.4% y/y a year earlier, and during the year it was temporarily within the
range of acceptable deviations from the inflation target. This was supported by fading of shocks in
food and energy prices. Core inflation also decreased - to 4.3% y/y (on average in a year) from 10.1%
y/y a year earlier. Inflation in the prices of services turned out to be more persistent, as it slowed
down only to 6.6% y/y from 11.4% y/y a year ago. High inflation in the services’ prices is mainly
related to strong demand that allows rising labour costs to be passed onto consumers. In such
conditions, the Monetary Policy Council kept interest rates unchanged. The base interest rate stood
at 5.75% throughout 2024.
CPI and its forecasts (% y/y, period average)
Source: Macrobond, Bank Millennium, F - forecast
High interest rates were conducive to the recovery of savings after the period of the highest inflation
in years. The total value of deposits in the banking sector increased by PLN170bn in 2024, of which
PLN121bn was an increase in household deposits. Deposits of non-financial corporations went up by
PLN20bn, i.e. weaker than a year ago, which can be attributed to more difficult conditions in some
sectors for protecting margins by companies. At the same time, deposits of local governments
increased by PLN33bn. In 2024 credit creation in the banking sector increased. The total value of
newly granted loans in 2024 was 15.5% higher than a year earlier. This was mainly due loans to
households – for consumption purposes and for housing. In particular, the largest credit creation was
recorded in 4Q24.
In the Bank's opinion, economic growth in 2025 will be faster than in 2024, although this outlook is
subject to higher than usual uncertainty. According to the Bank, GDP will grow by 3.7%, and the main
driver of the economy will continue to be household spending supported by strong wage growth.
However, it will probably not be as quick as in 2024, partly due to the smaller scale of the minimum
wage increase (by 8.5% after an increase of 20% a year earlier). In addition, the expected cuts in NBP
interest rates, in the conditions of still low unemployment, would be conducive to reducing the
propensity of consumers to save. In 2025, investment demand should join the growth drivers, along
with the implementation of projects co-financed from EU funds. On the other hand, a weak recovery
in the eurozone, as in 2024, is likely to limit the potential for domestic GDP growth.
According to the Bank's basic macroeconomic scenario, the average annual CPI inflation will increase
to 4.7% y/y in 2025 from 3.6% y/y in 2024, due to the gradual phasing out of protective measures
related to electricity prices for households. From Jul’25, the fixed capacity fee on electricity bills
will be reinstated. Additionally, from Oct’25, electricity prices will probably be unfrozen. In the case
of core inflation, the Bank assumes a slight decrease to 4.0% y/y from 4.3% y/y a year earlier, mainly
due to forecasts of slightly lower cost pressure resulting from the labour market. According to the

and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
Bank, still high inflation, improved domestic demand and uncertainty about energy prices as well as
still expansionary fiscal policy support expectations of stable interest rates in the first months of
2025. However, the entry of inflation into a downward trend along with slower wage growth and
further reductions in interest rates of the European Central Bank and a strong zloty, should open up
in the second half of the year a room for interest rate cuts. According to the Bank, that space will be
only limited amounting to 100 bp, which is in line with the valuation of interest rates by financial
markets. 2025 will be another year with high uncertainty related to economic factors (inflation,
exchange rates, commodity prices, interest rates), but also geopolitical ones, such as tariffs, fiscal
and migration policy in the world, armed conflicts, or stability and the rule of law in some economies.
4.2. FACTORS OF UNCERTAINTY FOR THE ECONOMY AND BANK
MILLENNIUM GROUP
Factors of uncertainty for the economy and the Bank Millennium Group
The summary list below presents the most important negative risk factors, in the Bank’s opinion, for
the Bank Millennium Group, regarding the macroeconomic and international situation in 2025.
• Global political situation. It includes the possibility of intensification of hostilities between
Russia and Ukraine, escalating tensions in the Middle East and Asia, but also the impact of
elections in some economies. A worsening geopolitical situation would potentially result in
increased uncertainty and risk aversion, as well as a possible increase in public and private
debt. One of the key risk factors is also the trade policy of the world's largest economies.
Significantly stronger protectionism could lead to disruptions in production and supply chains
and, consequently, to an increase in the prices of in the world, including agricultural and
energy raw materials. This would translate into increased uncertainty, higher than forecast
interest rates and potential correction in asset valuations on financial markets. As a result of
increased risk aversion and supply shocks, the zloty would weaken, inflation in Poland as well
as debt service costs would rise. This would limit economic activity and demand for labour,
increasing the credit risk and weakening demand for Bank’s offer.
• Worse-than-expected economic situation in Poland's trading partners, in particular in the
eurozone. This would have a negative impact on the financial performance of Polish
companies, potentially resulting in a decrease in demand for labour and an increase in
unemployment. The possibility of a weaker standing of exporters is also associated with the
risk of a faster-than-expected easing of the monetary policy in the world, increasing the
disparity in interest rates between foreign countries and Poland. This could exert strong
pressure on the appreciation of the zloty and thus worsen the profitability of companies.
• Increased political and institutional risks in Poland, which could result in disruptions to
government economic policy, including slower implementation of programmes co-financed by
EU funds. This could cause deterioration of the fiscal situation and ratings, an increase in risk
premiums, a weakening of the zloty, a repricing of government bonds and increased volatility
in financial markets.
There is also a possibility of better economic results in Poland than in the Bank's baseline scenario,
which could result, among others, from abatement of military operations in Ukraine, decreased risk
associated with protectionism in world trade, improved economic sentiment and reduced saving
propensity, as well as faster absorption of EU funds. The economic recovery would also be supported
by political stability of the most important trading partners and a stronger than expected economic
recovery abroad.

5. OTHER IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS
5.1. RECOVERY PLAN AND CAPITAL PROTECTION PLAN
In July 2022, due to costs stemming from the 2022-23 credit holiday scheme for PLN borrowers and
resultant negative implications for capital ratios, the Bank launched Recovery Plan and Capital
Protection Plan (details in current report of July 15, 2022 Information on expected negative impact
of credit holidays on 3rd quarter 2022 results of Bank Millennium S.A. Capital Group and on launching
of the Recovery Plan and in subsequent periodical financial reports issued).
Following the completion of implementation of the Capital Protection Plan in May 2024, on June 19,
2024 the Management Board of the Bank took a decision to complete the implementation of the
Recovery Plan, notifying of the fact Polish Financial Supervision Authority and Bank Guarantee Fund
(details in: Information on completion of implementation of the Recovery Plan).
In the Bank’s Management Board’s opinion, all key assumptions of the Recovery Plan have been
achieved. In particular, all indicators defined in the Plan have reached safe levels, profitability and
financial results of Bank Millennium S.A. Capital Group improved sustainably, capital ratios were
restored to levels well above required regulatory minimums while the Bank and the Group meet MREL
requirements, including the combined buffer requirements. The Bank’s Management Board also does
not identify future circumstances that would justify further continuation of the Recovery Plan.
5.2. CREDIT HOLIDAYS
The Act of April 12, 2024 amending the Act on support for borrowers who have taken out a mortgage
loan and are in a difficult financial situation and the Act on crowdfunding for business ventures and
assistance to borrowers (the "Act") extended credit holidays for PLN mortgage borrowers originally
introduced in 2022.
The terms were altered compared to the original scheme and under the updated conditions a borrower
could defer four monthly payments until the end of 2024 for one loan not exceeding PLN1.2mn and
provided its Instalment to Income Ratio (IIR) for the period of the last three months preceding the
Application submission date exceeded 30% or on the day of submitting the Application, a borrower
had at least 3 dependent children. Two instalments could be deferred during the 1 June 2024 to 31
August 2024 period and two during the 1 September 2024 to 31 December 2024 period.
A borrower could specify all deferral periods in one application or submit separate applications for
each deferral period.
The Bank initially assumed circa 26% participation of total PLN mortgage client base (i.e. loans granted
before July 1, 2022, and loans below PLN1.2 million) which translated into PLN201 million cost
provision booked in 2Q24, a lower end of the preliminary estimation communicated to the market on
May 7, 2024. As a result of lower than assumed eligible borrowers’ participation in the scheme,
following positive adjustments of the above mentioned cost in 3Q24 and 4Q24, final cost of the 2024
credit holidays scheme settled at PLN113 million before tax (PLN91 million after tax).
5.3. FX-MORTGAGE LEGAL RISK
On December 31, 2024, the Bank had 21,854 loan agreements and additionally 2,223 loan agreements
from former Euro Bank under individual ongoing litigations (excluding claims submitted by the Bank
against clients i.e. debt collection cases) concerning indexation clauses of FX mortgage loans
submitted to the courts (52% loans agreements before the courts of first instance and 48% loans
agreements before the courts of second instance) with the total value of claims filed by the plaintiffs
amounting to PLN 4,576.0 million and CHF 331.1 million (Bank Millennium portfolio: PLN 4,111.2
million and CHF 320.1 million and former Euro Bank portfolio: PLN 464.7 million and CHF 11.0 million).
The original value of the portfolio of CHF agreements granted (the sum of tranches paid to customers),
33
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
taking into account the exchange rate as at the date of disbursement of loan tranches, amounted to
PLN 19.4 billion for 109.0 thousand loan agreements (Bank Millennium portfolio: PLN 18.3 billion for
103.8 and former Euro Bank portfolio: PLN 1.1 billion for 5.2 thousand loan agreements). Out of 21,854
BM loan agreements in ongoing individual cases 431 are also part of class action. From the total
number of individual litigations against the Bank approximately 3,600 or 16% were submitted by
borrowers that had already naturally or early fully repaid the loan or were converted to polish zloty
at the moment of submission and had not a settlement agreement. Approximately another 880 cases
correspond to loans that were fully repaid during the proceedings (as court proceedings are lengthy).
The claims formulated by the clients in individual proceedings primarily concern the declaration of
invalidity of the contract and payment for reimbursement of paid principal and interest instalments
as undue performance, due to the abusive nature of indexation clauses, or maintenance of the
agreement in PLN with interest rate indexed to CHF Libor.
In addition, the Bank is a party to the group proceedings (class action) subject matter of which is to
determine the Bank's liability towards the group members based on unjust enrichment (undue benefit)
ground in connection with the foreign currency mortgage loans concluded. It is not a payment dispute.
The judgment in these proceedings will not directly grant any amounts to the group members. The
number of credit agreements covered by these proceedings is 3,273. Out of 3,273 loan agreements in
class action 431 are also part of ongoing individual cases, 1,563 concluded settlements and 29 received
final verdicts (invalidation of loan agreement). On 24 May 2022 the court issued a judgment on the
merits, dismissing the claim in full. On 13 December 2022 the claimant filed an appeal against the
judgment of 24 May 2022. On 25 June 2024 an appeal hearing was held, at which the Bank filed a
motion to amend the composition of the group and exclude those group members who had entered
into an amicable settlement. The court required the plaintiffs' attorneys to take a written position on
the current composition of the group. The date of the hearing will be set by the court ex officio.
The intense advertising campaign observed in the public domain affects the number of court disputes.
Until the end of 2019, 1,984 individual claims were filed against the Bank (in addition, 236 against
former Euro Bank), in 2020 the number increased by 3,005 (265), in 2021 the number increased by
6,157 (423), in 2022 the number increased by 5,758 (408), in 2023 the number increased by 6,879
(646), while in 2024 the number increased by 5,902 (672).
Based on ZBP (the Polish Banking Association) data gathered from all banks having FX mortgage loans,
vast majority of disputes were finally resolved against the banks. As far as Bank Millennium (incl.
former Euro Bank portfolio) is concerned, from 2015 until the end of 2024, 8,557 cases were finally
resolved (8,450 in claims submitted by clients against the Bank and 107 in claims submitted by the
Bank against clients i.e. debt collection cases) out of which 2,561 were settlements, 88 were
remissions, 75 rulings were favourable for the Bank and 5,833 were unfavourable including both
invalidation of loan agreements as well as conversions into PLN+LIBOR. The Bank undertakes proper
legal actions in order to secure repayment of initially disbursed capital of the loan.
The outstanding gross balance of the loan agreements under individual court cases and class action
against the Bank (incl. former Euro Bank portfolio) on 31 December 2024 was CHF 1,189 million (of
which the outstanding amount of the loan agreements under the class action proceeding was CHF 86
million).
If all Bank Millennium’s originated loan agreements currently under individual and class action court
proceedings would be declared invalid without any compensation for the use of capital, the pre-tax
cost could reach PLN 7,087 million. Overall losses would be higher or lower depending on the final
court jurisprudence in this regard and the consideration of additional costs in the court verdicts.
In the 12 months of 2024, the Bank created PLN 1 979,2 million of provisions for Bank Millennium
originated portfolio and PLN 199,9 million for the former Euro Bank originated portfolio. The balance
34
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
sheet value of provisions for the Bank Millennium portfolio at the end of December 2024 was PLN 7
724,1 million, and for the former Euro Bank portfolio - PLN 739,6 million.
The methodology developed by the Bank of calculating provisions for legal risk involved with indexed
loans is based on the following main parameters resulting from historical observations or expert
assumptions:
(i) the number of ongoing cases (including class action agreements) and potential future lawsuits;
(ii) As regards the number of future court cases, the Bank monitors customer behaviors, analyzes
their willingness to sue the Bank, including due to economic factors and applies the following
assumptions:
a. regarding active loans (i.e., loans with an outstanding balance), the Bank estimates
the percentage of customers covered by methodology in this group of clients at 88%
of the total number of active loans (including expected number of amicable
settlements).
b. regarding loans already fully repaid or converted to polish zloty, the Bank attributes
a much lower probability of becoming the subject of a court case (the Bank assumes
that approximately 24% of the repaid loans that had an economic justification for
suing the Bank but were not covered by a prior settlement have sued or will decide
to sue the Bank in the future);
(iii) the amount of the Bank's potential loss in the event of a specific court judgment (including
statutory interest estimation);
(iv) the probability of obtaining a specific court judgement calculated on the basis of statistics of
judgments in cases where the Bank is a party;
(v) estimates involved with amicable settlements with clients, concluded in court or out of court:
a. the bank assumes a 12% probability of success in concluding a settlement as part of
negotiations conducted with clients in the course of court proceedings,
b. negotiations are conducted on a case-by-case basis and can be stopped at any time by
the Bank,
c. due to significant negotiation efforts already made in the past, the probability of success
in these negotiations in the future is decreasing, and at the same time most customers
have already contacted the Bank regarding the possible conversion of loans into PLN, so
at the moment the Bank adopts a conservative approach when taking into account the
potential impact of this factor.
The Bank is open to negotiate case by case favorable conditions for early repayment or conversion of
loans to PLN. As a result of these negotiations, the number of active FX mortgage loans originated by
Bank Millennium decreased by 25,883. As of the end of 2024, the Bank had 24,573 active FX mortgage
loans. Cost incurred in conjunctions with these negotiations totaled PLN 2 217,0 million. This cost is
presented mainly in ‘Result on exchange differences’ and also in ‘Result on modification’ in the profit
and loss statement (the values of costs charged to particular items of the Income Statement due to
settlements are presented in Note 14 in Chapter 14 ‘Notes to Consolidated Financial Data’ of the
Annual Consolidated Financial Report of the Bank Millennium S.A. Capital Group for the 12-month
period ending 31st December 2024).
Taking into consideration the above-mentioned information regarding court cases (active and already
closed after verdicts), realized settlements and assumptions regarding future number of court cases
and settlements, as well as the historical number and original amount of loans granted, it can be said
that the already materialized risk (reflected in the provisions and in the losses already booked through
the P&L) accounts for 60% of the historical number of loans granted and for 73% of the original
disbursed capital.

On December 8, 2020, Mr. Jacek Jastrzębski, the Chairman of the Polish Financial Supervision
Authority (“PFSA”) proposed a “sector” solution to address the sector risks related to FX mortgages.
The solution would consist in offering banks’ clients a voluntary possibility of concluding arrangements
based on which a client would settle a CHF Mortgage Loan as if it was a PLN loan bearing interest at
an appropriate WIBOR rate increased by the margin historically employed for such loans. The decision
to generally implement this solution could imply the need of creating upfront provisions for the losses
resulting from the conversion of CHF Mortgage Loans. The Bank in practice has been using elements
of the proposal of above system solution on many individual negotiations with FX mortgage borrowers,
including in the course of court proceedings.
Due to the circumstances stemming from the CJEU which excludes demanding by the Bank amounts
exceeding the return of disbursed capital, the possibility of successful implementation of a general
offer of KNF solution is low.
It can reasonably be assumed that the legal issues relating to foreign currency mortgage loans will be
further examined by the domestic courts and the European Court of Justice which could potentially
result in the further interpretations, that are relevant for the assessing of the risks associated with
proceedings.
The issues related to the statute of limitations for the Bank's and the customer's restitutionary claims
following the invalidation of a loan agreement remain an area that may be subject to further analysis
in the jurisprudence of Polish courts. Legal interpretations in this subject may have an impact for
the amount of provisions in the future.
There is a need for constant analysis of these matters. The Bank will have to regularly review and
may need to continue to create additional provisions for FX mortgage legal risk, taking into
consideration not only the above mentioned developments, but also the negative verdicts in the courts
regarding FX mortgage loans and important parameters, such as the number of new customer claims,
including those relating to repaid loan agreements.
The assumptions for the draft act on special solutions for the examination of cases related to loan
agreements denominated in or indexed to the Swiss franc concluded with consumers have been
published on the website of the Chancellery of the Prime Minister (link: Draft act on special solutions
for the examination of cases concerning loan agreements denominated or indexed to the Swiss franc
concluded with consumers - Chancellery of the President of the Republic of Poland) of the Council of
Ministers - Portal Gov.pl).
According to the information provided, Q2 2025 was indicated as the planned date of adoption of the
draft by the Council of Ministers. Pursuant to the legislative procedure, after its adoption, the draft
should be referred to the Polish Parliament, and then, if it is passed, it should be sent to the President
for his signature and then published in the Journal of Laws.
The adoption of the act in the form implementing the announced assumptions may significantly
accelerate the case adjudication time for cases regarding the validity of housing loan agreements
indexed to CHF.

6. POLISH BANKING SECTOR AND BM/BM GROUP’S POSITION
6.1. POLISH BANKING SECTOR IN 2024
Following a relatively calm, yet economically challenging 2023, the year 2024 proved to be
significantly more prosperous for Polish banks. A combination of economic recovery, stable interest
rates, and contained credit risk, along with relatively low regulatory costs and limited government
interference, translated into markedly improved profitability within the banking sector. According to
data from the National Bank of Poland, the net result of the sector totalled PLN 42 billion, an increase
of 52% year-over-year.
Similar to 2023, net interest income (NII) was the primary driver behind the robust results. Although
the year-over-year growth of NII slowed to 12% from 32% in the preceding year, it generated a
substantial increase in core income and total income, resulting in a 22% year-over-year growth of
total income. The growth of NII was due to a combination of stable and relatively high interest rates,
alongside an 11% year-over-year growth in the balance sheet, mainly driven by continued abundant
liquidity. The loan-to-deposit ratio dropped to a new record low of 67% at the end of the year,
compared to 70% at the end of the previous year, due to a 10% growth in deposits and a 5% growth in
loans. In 2024, the net interest margin (NIM) increased year-over-year to 3.8% from 3.7% in 2023.
Although the share of NII in total income remained high at 81%, it was lower than the 88% recorded
in 2023. Net fees grew by 5% year-over-year following a 1% growth in 2023, while their share in total
income stood at 15% compared to 17% in 2023.
At the same time, underlying cost growth remained elevated due to high inflation and wage pressure.
However, once adjusted for charges related to the Bank Guarantee Fund, the cost growth began to
slow compared to the dynamics observed in 2023. Reported costs increased by 11%, with HR costs up
by 12% after a 22% growth in 2023. The reported cost-to-income ratio improved to 43% from 47% in
the previous year.
Positive operating jaws (total income up 22% year-over-year versus operating expenses growth of 11%)
resulted in an operating surplus, or effectively pre-provision profit, amounting to PLN 74 billion
compared to PLN 56 billion in 2023.
The digitalization of the sector, which was accelerated by the pandemic, continued. This was
manifested among other things by continued branch closures and staff reductions. At the end of
November 2024 (the latest available data point), the number of banking branches was 2% lower than
at the end of 2023 (a 3% reduction in 2023 overall), while the number of branch staff was down by 3%
(down by 4% in 2023). The number of employees at headquarters increased by 3% in the same period
following a 5% growth in 2023.
Credit risk charges were down by 31% year-over-year in nominal terms. In 2024 overall, they were
equivalent to 7% of operating profit compared to nearly 14% in the previous year. At the end of
November 2024, the share of stage 3 loans decreased marginally to 5.2% from 5.4% at the end of 2023,
while the coverage ratio of this portfolio decreased to 57% from 62% respectively. The large
companies’ portfolio bucked the trend with the NPL (non-performing loan) ratio increasing to 7.4%
from 3.5% at the end of 2023, and the coverage ratio dropping to 39% from 56%.
The sector’s return on equity (ROE) for the 12 months to November 2024 stood at 15.3% compared to
12.3% in 2023. The return on assets (ROA) averaged 1.3% compared to less than 1% in 2023.
Banking balance sheets grew by 11%, a similar pace to that in 2023 (10%) and the inflow of deposits
remained the key driver. The latter grew by 6% year-over-year (deposits of the non-financial sector),
while the gap between the growth of corporate deposits (flat year-over-year) and retail ones (8%)
widened significantly. The over-liquidity of the sector increased further, as evidenced by a further
drop in the loan-to-deposit ratio to 67% from 70% at the end of 2023, or an increase in the Net Stable
Funding Ratio (NSFR) to 167% (end of September 2024 data) from 162% at the end of 2023. The trend
of change in deposit mix continued, with the share of term deposits increasing to 33% of total deposits
from 32% at the end of 2023.
38
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
The Polish banking sector maintained a very strong capital position, with most metrics remaining flat
year-over-year despite generous dividend payouts in 2024. At the end of September 2024, the
regulatory capital of Polish commercial banks reached PLN254 billion (end of 2023: PLN245 billion),
while capital ratios remained broadly stable compared to end-of-2023 levels. The Total Capital Ratio
(TCR) stood at 21.3% at the end of September 2024 versus 20.5% at the end of 2023, while the Tier 1
ratio was at 20.0% compared to 20.2% respectively.
The year 2024 brought a continuation of slow concentration in the sector. At the end of 2024, the
share of the top five largest banks in total sector assets was nearly 60% compared to 59% at the end
of 2023 and 50% at the end of 2019. The number of commercial banks remained stable at 29 entities.
6.2. THE BANK’S AND BM GROUP’ POSITION ON THE MARKET
At end of 2024, Bank Millennium ranked 7th among top commercial banks in Poland by total assets
and deposits. The Bank’s market share in total deposits was 5.6% (5.6% at end of 2023) and 5.6% (5.8%)
in total loans. Bank Millennium Group had a relatively stronger position in the household segment
with market share in total loans including FX-mortgages at 8.2% vs. 8.5% at YE23 and market share in
in total deposits at 7.0% vs. 6.8% respectively. The Group enjoyed particularly strong position in PLN
mortgage loans segment (8.7% vs. 9.1%), non-mortgage retail loans (9.0% vs. 9.1%) or transactions
made with cards (8.3% in September ’24 vs. 8.0% in 2023). In the companies’ segment, the Group has
a lower share than in the retail segment with 3.5% in deposits and 3.7% in loans at YE24. The Group
maintains a traditionally above-average position in factoring products with market share of 5.6% in
2024. The Group continues to distribute its products and services via a network of 606 outlets (own
branches and franchise ones), as well as through electronic channels, including cash machines, the
Internet, phone and mobile apps.

7.3. BUSINESS OUTLOOK FOR 2025
As previously stated in the report, 2025 is expected to bring not only stronger GDP growth (3.7%
anticipated compared to 2.9% in 2024) but also a shift in its driving factors. Investment demand is
anticipated to play a more significant role in this growth. Lower interest rates and inflation are
expected to support demand for retail and corporate borrowing. Additionally, the resurgence of
private investment cycle, particularly projects co-financed by EU funds, is projected to provide
further impetus to corporate borrowing through co-funding requirements. Furthermore, the
combination of these factors, coupled with low unemployment and continued, albeit slower, wage
growth, is likely to result in a relatively low-risk backdrop.
The aforementioned trends should align well with the first year of implementing the new strategy.
The focus will remain on the growth of the core business. In the retail segment, the origination of
non-mortgage lending is expected to grow moderately, while the origination of PLN mortgages should
slow, allowing for margin preservation. Conversely, the corporate segment is anticipated to
accelerate lending growth. The steady collection of deposits should further support liquidity, and
through balance sheet hedging (continued investments in fixed-rate treasuries and partially lending
at fixed rates), feed into relatively resilient net interest income (NII). The implementation of the new
strategy will have influence on operating expenses, that are expected to grow at a low double-digit
rate in percentage terms. New hirings, changing staff structure, and continued wage adjustments will
increase HR costs. Higher non-HR costs are expected to reflect increased spending on IT, new
projects, initiatives, and anticipated much higher BFG charges with the deposit guarantee fee
returning after two and a half years of absence. The cost of risk is expected to increase toward the
range of 50-70 basis points over total gross loans, reflecting a higher share of small- and mid-corporate
loans in origination, as well as a changing mix within the retail portfolio. FX-mortgage related costs
are expected to remain significant but should follow a downward trajectory. Finally, it should be
noted that 2025 will bring a full-year bank tax charge, while the effective tax rate should return to a
normalized level, in contrast to 2024 where the tax line benefitted from the recognition of deferred
tax assets (DTA).
Notwithstanding the positive business outlook, risks, particularly those of a legal and regulatory
nature, will continue to pose potential threats. The Bank is cognizant of the risks associated with
rulings by local courts and the European Court of Justice on consumer loans. A legislative proposal
concerning the overhaul of the handling of FX-mortgage-related claims may necessitate adjustments
to the Bank’s strategy of mitigating legal risk and adjustments in provisioning inputs, depending on
its final form. Furthermore, other potential adverse developments regarding the legal risks related to
this portfolio or the PLN mortgage book may arise.

(**) Without extraordinary items, i.e. negative impact of credit holidays (PLN113mn in 2024 and PLN9m in 2023), financial
impact of insurance transaction (total pre-tax income of PLN652mn in 2023) and FX mortgage loan related costs/incomes (in
FX position and other operating income/cost including indemnity from Societe Generale)
Net interest income (NII) in 2024 reached PLN5,530mn on a reported basis and grew 5% y/y. This
moderate growth was a result of credit holidays for PLN mortgage borrowers (PLN113mn booked in
2024). NII without this effect was 7% higher y/y, mostly driven by the higher income from debt
securities and lower cost of clients’ deposits. The factors with negative impact on NII were lower
market interest rates after the 100 bps central bank rates cut in September/October’23, interest
costs on MREL issued bonds (EUR500mn issue in September’23 and EUR500mn in September’24) and
cost of asset securitisations.
Net interest margin (over average interest earning assets) (NIM) averaged 4.36% in 2024 (without
credit holidays impact mentioned above), i.e. 25 bps lower vs. the level of 2023. The above mentioned
factors (interest rate cuts and MREL bonds) as well as growing share of bonds in assets had an adverse
impact on NIM whereas decreasing cost of deposits by 34 bps during 12 months (from 2.55% in 4Q23
to 2.21% in 4Q24) and some improvement in bonds yields had both a positive impact.
Net commission income in 2024 amounted to PLN777mn and decreased by 1% y/y. The subdued
growth was mainly caused by falling fees from bancassurance activity (down 22% y/y as a result of
the bancassurance transaction). Commissions from loans recorded a considerable decline too. On the
other hand commissions from payment cards, brokerage and custody, funds management and
distribution of mutual funds and other investment products increased substantially, offsetting to large
extent the previously mentioned declines.
Reported core income, defined as a combination of net interest and net commission income, reached
PLN6,307mn in 2024 and grew by 4% y/y due to the impact of credit holidays. Core income without
this effect would reach PLN6,419mn, which translates into a growth of 6% y/y and constitutes a key
factor of Group’s recurrent profitability improvement.
Other non-interest income, which comprises FX result, results on financial assets and liabilities
(without fair value adjustment on credit portfolio) and net other operating income and costs, showed
a negative value of PLN311mn in 2024. Costs of amicable settlements negotiated with FX mortgage
borrowers and legal costs related to FX mortgage loans (PLN809mn presented in FX result and other
44

operating costs) continued to negatively impact this line. In addition to that, in 2023 this line was
under strong positive impact of the insurance transaction (sale of shares in Millennium Financial
Services Sp. z o.o. to external insurance partner in March’23 and related impacts), with total pre-tax
impact of PLN652mn. The abovementioned factors make the analysis of the annual changes of this
income line difficult.
Total operating income of the Group reached PLN5,996mn in 2024 and decreased 11% y/y. Without
the extraordinary income and costs mentioned above, the adjusted operating income would amount
to PLN6,873mn, up 7% y/y.
Total costs amounted to PLN2,253mn in 2024, translating into an increase by 13% y/y.

Personnel costs amounted to PLN1,197mn in 2024 and increased 16% y/y, mainly as a result of wage
inflation feeding through higher base salaries and variable compensation. The Group continued to
adjust the number of its branches and personnel to its needs, reflecting ongoing digitalisation of
banking business and the growing importance of online channels while simultaneously keeping strong
geographical presence through brick-and-mortar outlets. At the end of December 2024, the total
number of outlets stood at 606 and their number was reduced by 6 units vs. the end of December
2023. The number of Group’s employees amounted to 6,714 FTEs at the end of December 2024 and
stayed on similar level as at one year before. Without employees absent due to long leaves (‘active
FTEs’), the headcount was lower at 6,355 staff.

Other administrative costs (including depreciation) reached PLN1,056mn in 2024 and increased by
10% y/y. Among the key groups of costs the higher increase could be witnessed in such items as legal
and advisory costs, marketing spendings and IT and telecommunication costs. Legal costs resulting
from negotiations and litigations with FX mortgage borrowers were a significant burden to this cost
group (PLN138mn in the reporting period).
Cost-to-income ratio for 2024 amounted to 37.6% and was higher by 7.9 percentage points vs. very
low level in 2023 (29.6%), mainly due to the impact of high one-off burden/income in 2024 (cost of
credit holidays) and in 2023 (the income from bancassurance transaction). Cost-to-income ratio
without extraordinary items mentioned above (mainly the bancassurance transaction, cost of credit

costs/incomes (in legal risk provisions, FX position, operating cost and other operating income/cost including indemnity from
Societe Generale as well as tax effects) and hypothetical banking tax until the end of May 2024
Total cost of risk, which comprises net impairment provisions, fair value adjustment related to
specified loan portfolios and a part of result on modifications (excluding the part related to
settlements with FX mortgage borrowers), bore by the Group amounted to PLN310mn in 2024 and was
4% higher versus the comparable period of the previous year due to higher provisions for loans to
companies, especially in 2H24. Risk charges for retail segment (including FX mortgage) amounted to
PLN203mn in 2024. Risk charge for corporate and other segments amounted to PLN107mn. In relative
terms, the cost of risk (i.e. net charges to average gross loans) for 2024 reached 40 basis points and
was similar to the level in 2023 (39 basis points).
In 2024, the Group booked in modifications line a part of costs related to settlements with FX
mortgage borrowers in the amount of PLN147mn (of which PLN138mn refers directly to Bank
Millennium), 181% higher than in the previous year. It was connected with higher number of and more
costly amicable settlements with the FX-mortgage borrowers.
In 2024, the Bank continued to create provisions for legal risk related to FX-mortgage portfolio,
which remained a significant item in the P&L statement and reached PLN2,179mn (PLN1,979mn
excluding loans generated by former Euro Bank as they are subject to indemnity clauses and
guarantees from Societe Generale). The provisions were lower by 29% than these created in 2023 as
the whole 2023 was characterised by higher level of such provisions after the earlier opinion and the
final judgement of the European Court of Justice of June 15, 2023 on case C-520/21, with resultant
elimination from the Bank’s legal risk provisioning methodology of the (low) probability of receiving
remuneration for the use of capital it had provided, while fuelling continuation of the inflow of court
cases. Additionally, the Bank also updated other parameters in its methodology. At the end of
December’24, provisions for the portfolio originated by Bank Millennium were at the level of
46
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
PLN7,724mn (an equivalent of 122% of the grossed-up FX-mortgage book) and at PLN740mn for the
portfolio originated by the former Euro Bank.
Pre-income tax profit in 2024 amounted to PLN875mn and was significantly lower (by 33% y/y) vs the
level of 2023 due to high one-off cost in 2024 and one-off gains in 2023 as mentioned above. Moreover,
the Bank was not due to pay banking tax since July 15, 2022, the date of the Bank’s decision to launch
the Recovery Plan. On 19 June 2024 the Bank took a decision to complete the implementation of the
Recovery Plan, notifying of the fact Polish Financial Supervision Authority and Bank Guarantee Fund
and consequently starting to pay the banking tax. In the Bank’s Management Board’s opinion, all key
assumptions of the Recovery Plan had been achieved by this date. As a result in 2Q24, 3Q24 and in
4Q24 the Group reported banking tax in the total amount of PLN232mn, which was a significant burden
to Group’s pre-tax profit.
In 2024 the Group reported net profit of PLN719mn i.e. which was strongly higher (by 25%) than the
profit of 2023 thanks to much lower level of income tax. The low level of income tax in 2024 resulted
from the impact of CIT and DTA adjustments relating to interest income and FX differences on some
FX mortgage loans declared or expected to be declared invalid by courts’ verdicts. Adjusted for the
abovementioned extraordinary items (i.a. FX-mortgage related costs, tax impacts and credit holidays
in 2024 and the income from sale of shares in bancassurance business in 2023) the Group would
achieve the net profit of PLN3,202mn in 2024, i.e. 7% above the adjusted net profit of PLN2,993mn
for 2023.
Reported 2024 return on equity (ROE) stood at 9.8% but when adjusted for extraordinary items
(including all FX mortgage related costs since 2020 in equity) it reached 18.5%. Reported Return on
Assets (ROA) for 2023 was 0.5%.

The Bank’s (non-consolidated) 2024 net interest income amounted to PLN5,421mn and increased by
6% y/y and similar as in the Group’s case, the growth rate was undermined by credit holidays impact,
booked by the Bank in much higher amount in 2024 (PLN107mn). Net interest income without the cost
of credit holidays would grow 7% y/y - at similar scale as for the Group.
Net commission income in 2024 amounted to PLN668mn and decreased -2% y/y. Core income (adjusted
for credit holidays impact) was PLN6,196mn and grew 6% y/y, the same growth scale as in the case
of the Group.
Other non-interest income of the Bank in 2024 was negative and amounted to PLN-307mn while in
2023 it reached PLN704mn. The income line was strongly driven by the impact of similar extraordinary
items as it was described above for the Group (mostly the insurance transaction and the costs related
to FX mortgage loans and settlements with the borrowers). This item includes dividends, largely from
the Capital Group’s subsidiaries (eliminated in reports on the Group level). Dividend income in 2024
reached PLN39mn, which means a decrease by 21% y/y.
As a result of the evolution of the abovementioned items the Bank’s total operating income in 2024
amounted to PLN5,782mn and declined by 11% y/y (similar scale as for the consolidated Group).

(**) The value of modification booked in given period resulting from amicable settlements with FX mortgage borrowers and
referring to a specific group of such agreements.
The Bank’s operating costs reached the total amount of PLN2,177mn in 2024 and was 13% higher vs.
the level for 2023. The reasons for the annual decrease of costs are the same as in case of the
consolidated data for the whole Capital Group. The evolution of personnel costs and other
administrative costs was similar to the corresponding Group’s items and was highly inflation-driven.
Impairment write-offs and other costs of risk of the Bank were PLN277mn in 2024, which means an
increase 7% y/y – the similar scale as in the Group’s case.
Besides provisions for credit risk, in 2024 the Bank created a provision for legal risk related to FX
mortgage loans in the amount of PLN2,179mn, which was explained above in the part referring to the
whole Group.
The Bank reported pre-tax profit for 2024 of PLN771mn which translates into a considerable decrease
of 37% y/y – a very similar scale as in the Group’s case, due to high extraordinary costs in 2024 and
banking tax booked in 2024 and one-off gains in 2023.
In 2024 the Bank reported net profit of PLN643mn, i.e much higher (by 26%) vs. the net profit for
2023, due to much lower income tax value explained earlier in the part referring to the Group’s profit.
Return on the Bank’s assets (ROA) reached 0.5% for 2024.
8.2. RESULTS OF BUSINESS SEGMENTS
Presented below are data regarding the Profit and Loss Account for the Group’s four business
segments: retail segment, corporate segment, FX mortgage loans segment and treasury operations,
assets/liabilities management and other segment. The retail segment comprises services provided to
individual customers on the mass market, affluent customers, sole traders as well as services to small
companies (with annual turnover below PLN5mn). The corporate segment involves services to medium
and large companies as well as public sector entities. The treasury operations, assets/liabilities
management and other business comprises the Group’s treasury investments, interbank market
transactions, taking positions in debt securities, brokerage activity as well as other transactions not
classified in the first three segments.
Bank Millennium recent financial performance is significantly influenced by the costs related to
managing legacy FX mortgage portfolio of loans. To isolate these costs and other financial results
related to this portfolio Bank decided to isolate, commencing from 2021, a new segment from Retail
and present it in financial statements as “FX mortgage”. Such change impacts only results
presentation and is not triggering any organizational changes in the Bank. New segment includes loans
separated based on active FX mortgage contracts for a given period and is applying to portfolios of
retail mortgages originated in Bank Millennium and Eurobank in foreign currencies. This portfolio is

Total operating income of the retail segment in 2024 was PLN5,512mn, which represents an increase
by 2% y/y. Net interest income of the retail segment recorded a growth by 2% y/y reflecting the
adverse impact of credit holidays (mentioned above in the comments regarding Group’s net interest
income). Net commission income increased slightly 1% y/y. Low growth of this item mainly resulted
from lower bancassurance commissions. Operating costs of the retail segment grew by 13% y/y, so it
was similar as for the whole Group.
As a result of the abovementioned evolution of operation income and costs, total retail segment pre-
provision income reached PLN3,847mn in 2024 and slightly decreased by 2% vs. the level of 2023. The
cost of risk of the segment presented a material decrease by 17% y/y.
Operating profit of the retail segment for 2024 - after consideration of the provisions – amounted to
PLN3,585mn and stayed on the similar level as in the previous year, with the negative impact of credit
holidays costs, mostly in 2024. The profit was high in absolute terms and signified the key factor of
the whole Group’s profit, allowing to offset substantial loss of FX mortgage segment.

50

to modest growth of loans. Net commission income declined a bit by 2% y/y and other non-interest

As a result of the above, pre-provision income decreased by 7% y/y. Value of net impairment write-
offs regarding loans to companies in 2024 presented a much higher value than in the previous year
and amounted to PLN100mn due to some deterioration in the loan portfolio quality. Taking all above
factors together, the operating profit of the corporate segment saw a decrease of 18% y/y to the level
of PLN595mn in 2024.

Following P&L categories are presented as part of financial performance of FX Mortgage segment:
1. Net Interest Income: Margin on FX loans (interest results less Fund Transfer Pricing).
2. FX results related to portfolio (mainly costs of amicable negotiations).
3. Cost of provisions for FX mortgage portfolio legal risk partially offset by valuation of SG
Indemnity in other operating income line regarding ex-EB portfolio.
4. Cost of Credit Risk related to current FX portfolio.
5. Result on modification resulting from settlements with borrowers.
6. Other Costs that are directly related to FX mortgages including, but not limited to:
i. Legal chancellery costs (administrative costs),
ii. Court costs related to FX mortgage cases (other operating costs).
Total operating loss of the FX Mortgage segment in 2024 was PLN3,002mn, due to high provisions for
legal risk related to the loan book and costs of settlements presented in modifications (total cost of
risk amounted to PLN2,270mn). Moreover, the impact of cost of amicable settlements with clients in
FX income and legal costs in operating costs had additional adverse effect on the financial result.
Negative value of other income was much higher than in the previous year and amounted to PLN -594
mn. Also operating costs in 2024 were higher by 33% than in the previous year. However operating
loss for 2024 was lower by PLN331mn vs. the previous year.

The key reason for the growth of total assets in 2024 was the growth of debt securities (+PLN13.2bn)
whereas loans to customers presented lower increase by PLN1.3bn.
Loans and advances to Clients
Total net loans of Bank Millennium Group reached PLN74,981mn as at 31 December 2024 and increased
2% y/y. Loans without FX-mortgage portfolio increased by 4% y/y. FX mortgage loans net of provisions
decreased materially during the last twelve months (down 56%) and the share of FX mortgage loans
(excluding these taken over with Euro Bank) in total gross loans has dropped materially during one
year period to 1.5% from 3.6% a year ago. This was partly due to the fact that most of legal risk
provisions lower the gross value of the loans apart from regular amortisation, earlier repayments,
conversions to PLN and execution of court verdicts.
The net value of loans to households amounted to PLN56,935mn as at 31 December 2024, showing 1%
increase y/y although subdued growth trend results from shrinking book value of FX mortgage
portfolio. Within loans to households line, PLN mortgages reached PLN37,321mn and grew 3% y/y,
with visible rebound in new loans origination: disbursements of those loans in 2024 reached PLN5.9bn
and grew by 22% y/y. Another component of retail portfolio, consumer loans, also presented a very
good performance. The net value of consumer loans reached PLN18,301mn at the end of December
2024 and increased by 7% y/y. The cash loans origination in 2024 reached PLN7bn, which implies 11%
increase compared to the previous year.
Net value of loans to companies amounted to PLN18,046mn as 31 December 2024 and increased by 5%
y/y. The increase of companies’ portfolio was visible in leasing portfolio, as well as in other loans.
The value of new leasing contracts for 2024 grew by 25% y/y reaching PLN3.9bn. The growth of the
loan portfolio was to some extent limited by the necessity of the risk weighted assets (RWA)
optimisation resulting from capital management objectives.

Average interest rate on the Bank’s loan portfolio in 2024 was 8.0%. This rate includes net interest
income on hedging derivatives (mainly FX and interest rate SWAPs).
Debt securities
Value of debt securities reached PLN54,207mn as at 31 December 2024, which means a significant
increase of 32% y/y.
A dominant part of the debt securities portfolio (95%) were bonds and bills issued by the Polish State
Treasury, other EU governments (equivalent of c.a PLN8.7bn) and National Bank of Poland (Central
Bank). The increase of debt securities portfolio was a consequence of assets/liabilities and interest
margin management policy and was correlated with the much stronger growth of deposits versus
loans. The share of this group of debt securities in the consolidated total assets was at 37% at end of
December 2024 reflecting a strong liquidity position of the Group.
More information on debt securities and liquidity management of the Bank can be found in Chapter
11.4. of this document and in Chapter 8.5. "Liquidity Risk" of the Annual Financial Statements of Bank
Millennium S.A. Capital Group for the period of 12 months ending on 31 December 2024.
Derivative instruments
The value of derivatives (for trading and hedging) totalled PLN368mn at end of December 2024 (a
decrease by 36% y/y), and refers to positive valuation of derivatives whereas negative valuation of
derivative instruments is presented on the liabilities side. The main component of derivatives are FX
swaps and other FX derivatives, cross-currency swaps and interest rate swaps. The valuation of those
instruments depends on changes in FX rates and interest rates level.
54
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
The Group manages its FX liquidity using FX-denominated deposits, own issue of EUR bonds as well as
Cross Currency Swap and FX Swap transactions. The importance of swaps has been decreasing because
of the reduction of the FX mortgage loan portfolio and the hedge in foreign currency of most of the
provisions for legal risk. The swaps portfolio is diversified in term of counterparties and maturity
dates.
More information on derivative transactions of the Bank can be found in Note 19E and Note 24 and in
Chapter 8.5. "Liquidity Risk" of the Annual Financial Statements of Bank Millennium S.A. Capital Group
for the period of 12 months ending on 31 December 2024.
Deposits, loans and advances to banks
Deposits, loans and advances to banks (including interbank deposits) stood at PLN435mn at the end
of December 2024, which means a decrease by 45% y/y and it mainly refers to current accounts
balances.
Shares/equities and other financial instruments
Value of equities/shares and other financial instruments amounted to PLN147mn at the end of
December 2024 and stayed on practically the same level as in the previous year.
Tangible fixed assets and intangibles and goodwill (investment outlays)
Tangible fixed assets and intangibles and goodwill of the Group amounted to PLN1,146mn at the end
of December 2024 and increased by 9% y/y mostly due to the growth of intangible assets (+16% y/y)
whereas tangible fixed grew 4% y/y.
Total investment of the Group in 2024 amounted to PLN237mn. Outlays for the Bank’s physical
infrastructure (headquarter modernization, branches, ATMs etc.) amounted to PLN40.5mn and
PLN195.1mn for software and IT infrastructure. Value of other outlays i.e. PLN1.4mn, relates to
Bank’s subsidiaries. The Bank Millennium Group plans investment capital expenditures in 2025 in the
amount of PLN289.5mn, out of which ca. 84% will be allocated to IT projects (i.e. further internet
and mobile banking developments, capacity extensions as well as regulatory & security projects).

The key difference between the level of assets of Bank standalone and the consolidated Group is the
value of loans to customers. In the first place it relates to mortgage loans transferred to mortgage
bank subsidiary with the total balance as at the end of 2024 of PLN2,892mn and receivables due from
leasing company customers in the amount of PLN7,095mn (although significant part of the said
receivables were financed by the Bank) and relates to elimination of mutual transactions between
the Bank and other companies from the Capital Group in consolidated financial statements.
Total Loans to customers in the Bank amounted to PLN71,937mn as at 31 December 2024 and
decreased by 1% y/y. Alike the Group’s case the dynamics of loans was visibly influenced by significant
decline of FX mortgage loans.
Value of debt securities in the Bank’s assets reached PLN53,654mn at the end of December 2024. Both
the portfolio dynamics and structure remained similar as in the case of the Group (as described above)
although higher balances for the Group (by PLN553mn) resulted from treasury debt securities held by
the Bank’s subsidiaries: Millennium Leasing and Millennium Bank Hipoteczny.
Loans and advances to banks (including interbank deposits) stood at PLN2,379mn at the end of
December 2024, which means an increase by 27% y/y . Different evolution of this item compared to
the Group’s case results from the financing extended by the Bank to its subsidiary Millennium Bank
Hipoteczny.
Equities/shares and other financial instruments presented in the Bank’s financial statements, unlike
in the case of Group reports, incorporated valuation of shares in subsidiaries. The value of this item,
as on 31 December 2024, amounted to PLN621mn, recording an increase by 25% y/y.
The Bank’s fixed assets and intangibles amounted to PLN1,135mn at the end of December 2024 and
increased by 10% vs. the previous year.
Values and annual changes to other asset groups presented in the table above are similar to the
corresponding items of consolidated Group, as described earlier in this document.

At the end of December 2024 liabilities accounted for 94.4%, while equity of the Group - for 5.6% of
total liabilities and equity.
As on 31 December 2024 Group’s total liabilities amounted to PLN131,380mn and were higher by 11%
relative to their value as on 31 December 2023. The main change to liabilities resulted from strong
increase of deposits by PLN10bn and also the issuance of debt securities (balances higher by PLN2.8bn)
during the 12 month period.
Customers’ deposits
Customer deposits constituted the main line item under the Group’s accounting for, as on 31
December 2024, 89% of total liabilities. Customer deposits constitute the main source of financing of
Group’s activities and incorporate, primarily, customer funds on current and saving accounts
as well as on term deposit accounts.

57
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
y/y. Term deposits from retail clients grew by 14% y/y whereas current and saving accounts of
individuals grew by 15% y/y.
Deposits of companies and public sector, which reached PLN29,690mn on 31 December 2024, fell by
3% y/y due to strong decline in term deposits from companies caused by the tighter price
management, whereas current account deposits grew visibly (by 7% y/y).
Average interest rate on all deposits in the Bank in 2024 amounted to 2.3%.
Deposits from banks
Deposits from banks, including credits received, as on 31 December 2024, amounted to PLN317mn.
Value of this item decreased by 44% relative to the balance as on 31 December 2023, mainly in effect
of a decline in balances of term deposits from financial institutions by PLN252mn, but the Group did
not record any credits from financial institutions.
Financial liabilities valued at fair value through Profit and Loss Account and derivative instruments
Financial liabilities valued at fair value through Profit and Loss Account and derivative instruments
included, primarily, negative valuation of derivatives for trading or hedging and liabilities resulting
from securities subject to short sale. Value of this item, as on 31 December 2024, amounted to
PLN525mn, showing a decline by 32% relative to the balance as on 31 December 2023. The changes of
valuation (positive and negative) of derivatives has been described in above comments regarding
Group's assets.
Provisions
The value of provisions as on 31 December 2024 was PLN2,901mn which signifies strong growth by
PLN1,455mn or 101% y/y. The reason for the increase was mostly creating new provisions for legal
issues, especially claims related to FX mortgage loan agreements (increase of the balance sheet value
by PLN1,857mn not including the value of provisions directly allocated to the loan portfolio).
Debt securities issued
Securities issued by the Group amounted to PLN6,125mn as on 31 December 2024 recording significant
increase by PLN2,807mn relative to the balance as on 31 December 2023. The increase resulted from
the issue of bonds by the Bank as well as covered bonds issued by Millennium Bank Hipoteczny - the
Bank’s subsidiary.
In December 2022 the Bank issued Credit Link Notes (‘CLNs’) in the amount of PLN242.5mn within a

9. PRESENTATION OF BUSINESS ACTIVITY
9.1. INNOVATION AND HIGHEST QUALITY OF POSITIVE CUSTOMER
EXPERIENCE
Bank Millennium focus on building positive customer experiences at every stage of clients’
cooperation with the bank. Offering very high quality of experiences is the main guideline when
designing products and services, in sales and after-sales service - in all contact channels. Thanks to
this, in 2024 Bank Millennium strengthened its position as a quality and innovation leader in the
banking sector.
Bank Millennium's goal in 2024 was to strengthen its position in the NPS indicator and achieve a
TOP3 level.
The bank achieved its strategic goal and advanced from third to second place in NPS (retail customer)
- both in the assessment of all customers (+4 p.) and customers with the primary relationship (+7 p.).
In corporate banking, in terms of NPS, the bank took first place. This position is largely due to the
strength of corporate relationships with the bank advisors. The high recommendation score is a good
starting point for the Bank's further growth in this segment.
For years, Bank Millennium has consistently striving to ensure that the customer's transition to
electronic services supports the quality of the relationship with the Bank. We combine service
through our mobile application with access to qualified telephone and branch advisors - in all business
lines. The remote service has increased the convenience of access to the bank's products and services.
We make sure that both, customers and employees, are prepared to use and take advantage of our
digital solutions. The bank has been developing several initiatives focused on digital education and
security.
Bank Millennium uses research, and qualitative and quantitative monitoring activities, to support the
value offer and customers experience development.
Key areas of customer experience are continuously diagnosed, prioritized and forwarded for
improvements implementation, being measurement mainly based on NPS indicator.
We develop these customers and employees researches for all product lines, business lines, channels
and segments. The surveys concerned:
• satisfaction and loyalty monitoring,
• brand awareness among customers,
• evaluation of product concepts,
• employee perspectives.
An additionally important source of information in quality of service is the bank's Mystery Shopper
survey. In 2024, we conducted 2,833 audits in our own and franchise branches.
We have also implemented a new model for identifying the voice of the customer in the retail
banking, which includes:
• Mystery Shopper survey results,
• CSAT,
• Google reviews,
• analysis of complaints caused by the branch.
We analyze the collected voice of the customer and use it to stimulate the elimination of the causes
of dissatisfaction, to further improve the customer experience.
61
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
Bank Millennium has established a field team of CX Leaders to support managers in carefully
listening the voice of customers and improve the customer experience offered. CX Leaders also
work with advisors and help to highlight elements that negatively affect customer interaction and
should be overcome.
Thanks to this program we have observed a decrease in complaints with route causes driven by branch
service and an increase in customer satisfaction in the CSAT survey.
Bank Millennium continues to work on simplifying the language used in communication with
customers and the content of all documents. We have been improving the texts provided to
customers, from the moment of opening an account to the information on the use of their products.
We also continue training employees in plain language standards: in 2024, we trained another 100.
At Bank Millennium, we build strong awareness around the importance of plain language in
communication, a perfect example of which are the activities organized as part of the Plain Language
Day.
In addition to the quality of products and channels service NPS is determined by the image and trust
in the Bank, as well as the experience of employees. This way, we also measure employees
experience. The overall participation rate in the employee satisfaction survey completed in 2024 was
63% (12 p.p. higher than a year ago). 76% of respondents were generally satisfied with the Bank - an
increase compared to both the Polish (39%) and banking (62%) benchmarks. Overall job satisfaction
does not differ significantly in terms of areas, roles, locations or work experience.
The results of the employee satisfaction survey provide material for teams throughout the
organization. Meetings of employees with members of the management board organized in the bank
are a source of inspiration for further improvement of internal processes and ideas that can increase
customer satisfaction with the offer and service.
In 2024, Bank Millennium was recognized in the most important quality rankings. It won awards
for service quality in the areas of retail, affluent and business customers:
• first place in both categories of Newsweek's Friendly Bank ranking: traditional banking and remote
module,
• podium in Forbes magazine's Company Friendly Bank Ranking,
• podium in Forbes magazine's Ranking of Banks for the Wealthy Customer,
• podium in the Golden Bank ranking in the Best Multichannel Service Quality category,
• one of the finalists of Forrester's global ranking of “Customer Obsessed Enterprise 2024 Awards”,
• distinction of NPS® Loyalty Leader - current & savings 2024 (NPS Prism Global Banking Report).

convenient way enables customers entrance to investment products even of small amounts. During

customers investing regularly increased to around 50 thousand.

funds with regards to the fee for their purchase. A special strategy was also continued to reward the
use of remote channels by reducing to 0% the handling fee rates for purchase of selected TFI funds
through Millenet and Mobile Application
Cash Loans

previous year, in 2024 sales of loans for any purpose to individual customers increased by almost 11%

balances. Remotely initiated sales in the telephone channel increased by 23%. The Bank's franchise
partners also recorded 9.5 % increase in sales. Both good results were delivered based on the offer
which is increasingly better suited to the needs of the Bank's current customers and that the processes
of remote customer service. On the other hand, the Bank actively acquired new customers. An
important source of sales for new loans was also the developing cross-sell to customers acquired
through instalment loans. The Bank also places great emphasis on the development and improvement
of electronic channels, in particular the mobile application. Already almost 75% of loan sales ended
in digital channels, which was an increase of another 4 percentage points compared to 2023. The Bank
also conducted an active pricing policy, providing customers with attractive promotions and special
offers throughout the year.

Despite a slight market loss in the sale of account limits (8.1%, a decrease compared to 2023 by 2.9
pp), the Bank increased its market share in the credited balances to 13.5% (+0.11pp). This means that
customers are more willing to use the credit limit offered by the Bank.

product solutions, including among others activation of Google Pay mobile payments directly in mobile
application. From July 1, 2024, multi-currency solutions have been made available to customers: a
currency exchange office and the ability to pay in foreign currencies directly from a currency account
by connecting a debit card to a currency account. This way, customers will not pay currency
conversion fees. Additionally, the currency limit has been increased to PLN 5,000. This is the monthly

fee.

payments or virtual wallets that allow tokenized card payments.
At the end of December 2024, the credit card portfolio increased to 518 thousand cards and increased
by 24 thousand cards (+4.9% y/y). This allowed Bank Millennium's market share to increase to 10.2%
in 3Q24. Thanks to intensive portfolio activities, Bank Millennium's market share in spending increased
in 3Q24 to 10.6%.

Mobile and online banking
Bank Millennium consistently continues its "mobile-first" approach, which puts mobile banking at the
center of its activities. The banking app is now one of the most important applications on customers'
phones. In 2024, the number of logins to the mobile app exceeded one billion. We ended 2024
with 2.9 million active digital users, of which as many as 2.65 million are customers using the mobile
app.
The year 2024 was marked by three key projects in electronic banking. Firstly, in May, the Bank,
in collaboration with the Polish Payment Standard, launched a new solution in the BNPL model, called
BLIK Płacę Później (BLIK Pay Later). At the beginning of the summer, customers gained access to
a currency exchange and a multi-currency service for their cards in the mobile app. In 2024, the
app's design was refreshed, including navigation, menu, and product pages.
Starting in July, the Bank stopped supporting contactless payments using HCE technology directly
within the mobile app. Customers can now use alternative and more modern solutions: BLIK
contactless payments or virtual wallets that allow tokenized card payments.

applications for Active Parent and benefits for people with disabilities, as well as verifying restricted

DIGITALISATION
The goal of the "Inspired by People" strategy, which concluded in 2024, was to achieve 90%active
customers in digital channels. This goal was reached by the end of 2023, thanks to efforts made as
part of the digitalization project. In 2024, these efforts continued, and currently, the share of
customers actively using the bank's digital channels is 92%.
To achieve success in digitalization, electronic banking channels work closely with traditional
channels. Reliable technology combined with a human touch is the direction taken in the new strategy
for 2025-2028, as well. In this approach, the role of branch staff and contact center consultants is
crucial, which is why they receive support during regular meetings and webinars, including as part of
the Digital Ambassadors project. The Bank is also enhancing the digital onboarding of new customers,
which includes not only education through digital channels, but also support from Bank employees.
As part of digitalisation, the Bank aims not only to activate new-to-bank users but also to increase
the digital engagement of existing customers. To achieve this, we employ a personalized approach
customized to the activity and needs of the user, who, at the right moments, learns about the
possibilities of digital channels, is educated of cybersecurity principles, and receives support in sales
processes, for example, through contextual chat.
The primary differentiator in the market is now the customer experience, which is why the banking
app and Millenet are designed in collaboration with users. The Bank conducts research and testing in
an in-house UX Lab, simplifies communication according to plain language standards, develops its
Design System, and carries out accessibility audits with an external NGO Partner – “Fundacja
Widzialni”. As a result, the digital channels of Bank Millennium combine convenience, security, and
reliability.
Within the UX Lab, user behaviors are analyzed, interviews are conducted, and test sessions are
organized to better understand customers' needs and expectations, ensuring intuitive and effective
user experiences. In 2024, the UX Lab was equipped with new research tools, such as the IQS panel
for quantitative research and access to the OMNISURV platform, which enables external marketing
research on nationwide samples or selected target groups (with the added feature to present
descriptive, graphic, and video materials). An AI-based attention distribution prediction tool was also
introduced. In the UX Lab, both new functionalities and updates to existing solutions are tested.
An important aspect of the Bank's activities is hyper-personalisation. The Bank is implementing a
new AI-based system that will allow for real-time digital path to meet customer needs.

DAILY BANKING
Work on digital solutions never ends; it continues as long as they are available to customers. The Bank
constantly improves the mobile app and online banking to meet users' expectations and needs every
day. Designers view processes through the eyes of customers and propose changes that are genuinely
necessary. In the past year, many such enhancements have been implemented in daily banking.
In 2024, one of the more significant projects for the bank was refreshing the mobile app. From the
customer's perspective, the changes were subtle but allowed for better alignment of the app’s
navigation with users' feedback as well as current trends in UX/UI design. The menu and product pages
were redesigned. New options emerged, such as the ability to check payment card details, as well as
educational banners that draw users' attention to secure banking rules. These changes were tested
with users before being widely released. All customers could download the refreshed app in October.
The update did not result in a change in app ratings in stores. Currently, users rate the app at 4.8 (out
of 5) on Google Play and App Store, while the rating reaches 4.9 (out of 5) in Huawei App Gallery.
The app also introduced new forms of contact with the Bank. The contact panel with consultants
across processes was standardized (direct calls or chat directly from the process). The chat feature
has been enhanced with AI, which accelerates customer support for the most common inquiries while
allowing consultants to address more complex issues more quickly. The app also includes a built-in
map of branches, ATMs, and deposit machines. The map allows users to find a selected location using
search filters or their current location and to set a route to the chosen destination.
In the first half of 2024, we completed the rollout of the new transaction history in the mobile app.
After the changes, customers have all transactions in one place, along with additional functions
accessible via shortcuts from the transaction details.
PAYMENTS, E-COMMERCE, AND VALUE-ADDED SERVICES
The bank expands the available forms of mobile and online payments, as well as additional services
offered in electronic banking. In May 2024, deferred payments in the BNPL model (But Now Pay Later)
were introduced for the clients. The BLIK Pay Later service is based on the same scheme as payments
with a BLIK code—transactions are equally quick and intuitive. As a result, this new solution has the
potential to dominate the deferred payments market in Poland. Deferred payments mark another
step toward merging banking services with the rapidly growing e-commerce sector.
BLIK is currently the most popular payment method in online stores. In 2024, almost 2.3 million of our
customers used BLIK services at least once.
The bank promotes contactless payments via mobile devices. By mid-year, the migration from the
old, less efficient HCE payment method was completed. Customers can now use BLIK contactless
payments, as well as Google Pay, Apple Pay, Fitbit Pay, and Garmin Pay. By the end of December
2024, over 1.2 million customers had payments via their phones, watches, or fitness bands activated.
The Bank is also developing its foreign currency payment services. Before the summer of 2024, the
foreign currency limit for cards was increased from PLN 1,000 to PLN 5,000. We have introduced
a currency exchange in the mobile app, allowing users to receive notifications about current exchange
rates. Available currencies include EUR, USD, CHF, and GBP. Customers can open a free currency
account in the app and link it to their existing debit card for their current account.
The Bank is promoting and developing value-added services (VAS). In 2024, customers gained the
ability to purchase gift cards and codes from new suppliers (Amazon, Netflix, and Steam) within the
app. Top-up codes are particularly popular among younger customers.
The Bank confirms and expands its competencies in the field of digital marketing. At the end of 2024,
Bank Millennium became a member of IAB Poland, an association bringing together companies
operating in the interactive, technology, and advertising sectors in the Polish market.

ONLINE PRODUCTS, SALES, AND ACQUISITION
In the mobile app, new customers can open an account using a "selfie". On the Bank's website, we
offer a process that involves logging in to another bank, based on open banking solution. Additionally,
a new customer can open an account while applying for a cash loan through the Bank's website. Bank
customers can also open new accounts after logging into the mobile app and Millenet. In 2024, the
share of digital channels in account acquisitions reached 43%, while the share of digital channels in
sales of accounts for children was nearly 56%. In 2024, the Bank was once again recognized in the
Institution of the Year ranking for the "Best Remote Account Opening Process."
Work on processes in digital channels is continuous, and even minor changes can enhance user
experience and impact business outcomes. The omnichannel credit card application implemented a
year earlier received exceptional customer recognition in 2024 and was also awarded at the
international PayTech Awards competition.
In 2024, the bank expanded solutions to support customers in self-investing their funds. The app
introduced a new investment hub, which is a page where customers can access all available
investment products in one place. Changes were also made to the robo-advisory process, aimed at
facilitating customers' informed decisions regarding starting investments. The bank promotes regular
saving using standing order functionality.
Customers with cash loans or installment loans gained options in the app for easier management of
their obligations: the ability to change the repayment date of cash loans or installment loans, as well
as an application for “credit holidays” from cash loan repayments. Both options are easily accessible
via shortcuts on the product page. Previously, customers could only change the repayment date or
submit a request for a repayment break through Millenet. In 2024, the share of digital channels in the
number of sold loans reached 83%.
Customers with mortgage loans could extend statutory mortgage holidays through online banking. The
application in Millenet was expanded to include new conditions that applicants had to meet according
to the provisions of the law.
PUBLIC SERVICES
The Bank's strategy ensures full accessibility of public services through mobile banking. Currently,
customers have access to applications for Rodzina 800+, Dobry Start 300+, RKO, and Aktywny Rodzic,
which from October has replaced the previous subsidy for nurseries. In 2024, the bank also made
available in the mobile app and Millenet application for a benefit for people with disabilities. Other
solutions offered through digital banking include Millennium ID (based on mojeID), integration with
the mObywatel application, the registration process for sole proprietorships, and the mobile signature
mSzafir (through KIR).
CYBERSECURITY
The number of digital banking services continues to grow, which is why the bank is constantly
enhancing the security of access to electronic channels and ensuring an appropriate level of
protection against current fraud schemes. A sense of security is one of the crucial factors that promote
digitalization.
The Bank educates customers about cybersecurity rules through regular campaigns and on its website,
participates in sector-wide initiatives, and provides security measures and tools that enable users to
ensure their safety in everyday situations, such as temporary card blocking, identity verification
within the app, biometric login, or transaction limit management. In 2024, an additional authorization
was introduced for logging into the Millenet online banking system. Users must confirm each login
using Mobile Authorization or SMS Password (depending on the chosen method of authorization).
Previously, such additional authorization was required every 90 days.
69
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
Many security mechanisms operate without the customer's awareness, ensuring constant system
safety. A new feature in 2024 was the implementation of solutions that detect remote desktop
management applications (to prevent "vishing" fraud) and new rules for detecting suspicious
transactions.
A key project related to the security of online banking services was the introduction of PESEL number
verification. According to current regulations, the Bank is obliged to check whether a customer's
PESEL number has been restricted, for example during the account opening process or in credit
product applications. This solution was implemented at the bank starting June 1, 2024.
Another regulatory project was the verification of customer data in accordance with KYC (Know Your
Customer) regulations as part of AML (Anti-Money Laundering) regulations. Customers could
conveniently confirm their data through electronic channels via a survey, accessed directly from
campaigns or informational banners.
AFFLUENT CLIENTS
In 2024, the Bank focused heavily on refreshing its offerings for affluent clients, with these efforts
being integrated into projects executed through digital channels. In the fourth quarter of 2024, clients
were offered a new VISA Global card with additional services (access to airport lounges, currency
services, and cashback on purchases). The card is linked to Safe Travel insurance, allowing clients to
easily contact the insurance company directly through the banking app. By January 2025, the offering
was expanded with the new Millennium 360 Prestige account. All new services and products are
accessible through digital channels. Clients can convert their existing current accounts into new
Prestige accounts directly within the app. In just a few steps, they can also exchange their credit
card for a VISA Global card and purchase the “Twój Asystent Prestige” insurance in one process.
SUPPORTING FLOOD VICTIMS THROUGH DIGITAL CHANNELS
In September 2024, Poland was struck by tragic floods that affected clients in the southwestern parts
of the country. The bank, in collaboration with the Polish Red Cross and Caritas Polska, facilitated
assistance to those impacted by the flooding. In the mobile app, clients could provide their support
through the CharityTransfer feature. The client uses a pre-filled form, eliminating the need to enter
the account number or the title of the transfer. They simply select the organization and enter the
amount, and upon confirming the transfer, the money is sent directly to the chosen organization’s
account. Through the Bank Millennium app, clients donated PLN1.54 million. The Charity Transfer
feature was first introduced in the app following the outbreak of the war in Ukraine in 2022.
Additionally, borrowers affected by the floods were given access to an application for non-repayable
assistance from the Borrower Support Fund through online banking. This application was made
available at the bank on October 7, alongside the launch of the government program. The
implementation took only a few days.
DIGITAL SOLUTIONS FOR BUSINESS
Developing offerings for clients running their own businesses is an area of increasing significance for
the Bank each year. The comprehensive online banking services and additional tools for running
a business respond to the needs of this group at every stage of building a competitive enterprise. We
are building processes where electronic channels play a dominant role but are supported by remote
experts. Options available for business clients include:
• A process for opening a business account using open banking,
• The ability to register a company along with opening a business account through online
banking and the mobile app,
• Millennium Accounting,
• The Millennium POS app, which transforms a smartphone into a payment terminal,
70
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
• A complete online application for a cash loan with a de minimis guarantee,
• A payment gateway linked to an online store.
In 2024, one of the key implementations was the launch of the Millennium PAY payment gateway (in
partnership with PayTel), which serves customers building their businesses in e-commerce. The
gateway can be easily linked to their online store - the Bank has prepared an option for micro-
enterprises to create their own store on the Sellingo platform.
The Bank is enhancing solutions offered in previous years. Clients who register their businesses
through theBbank's process can receive real-time accounting support via panic button. Additionally,
the accounting service has been enhanced to include the ability to make predefined transfers. The
app also added the option to connect with a consultant directly from the cash loan application,
allowing clients to receive real-time expert assistance from the Bank.
Furthermore, in 2024, clients gained the ability to order a debit card for their business account
through electronic channels, as well as to open another Konto Mój Biznes account, optionally with
a new VAT account and a new debit card.

9.3. CORPORATE BANKING
As part of Corporate Banking, we professionally and comprehensively provide services to companies
with annual sales revenues exceeding PLN 5 million as well as public sector institutions and entities.
Our objective is to assure the highest quality of service and the shortest time for our reaction.
Therefore we are consistently automating our internal processes relating to customer service. At the
same time we support our clients in implementation of projects reducing the environmental impact
of their businesses, by financing projects connected with renewable energy, innovations reducing the
demand for energy and natural resources and more effective waste management.
We provide each client with the care of a permanent team of experts. Relationship Managers, who
are the first line of contact with the client, are supported by product specialists in transactional
banking, treasury products, trade finance products and leasing as well as FX dealers. In the area of
support for digital channels, including host 2 host solutions, clients are supported by a team of
electronic banking experts. In operational issues support is provided by specialists in transactional
systems and consultants. The team working with the clients is augmented by experts in funding
mergers and acquisitions as well as experts in EU funds.
The high quality of service is confirmed by the results of the annual survey of corporate banking
customer satisfaction. In the third quarter, we conducted a satisfaction survey of corporate banking
customers. As many as 85% of the surveyed customers are very satisfied with the support of our
Relationship Managers (NPS RMs 77), and 88% are very satisfied with the ongoing operational
cooperation with Consultants. The Bank's NPS for the corporate banking line was 47 points. These
results confirm our high competence and commitment to ensuring the highest quality of service
processes. At the same time, the results of the survey are feedback from our customers, setting the
directions for further work on our product portfolio and the development of digital services offered
to customers.
CORPORATE BANKING PERFORMANCE
At the end of 2023, we met the capital requirements, thanks to which we began to return to the
growth of loan volumes, reversing the previous downward trend. At the end of 2024, this resulted in
an increase of PLN 0.6bn (4.5%) to the level of PLN 14.0bn. In 2024, the volumes of new credit products
increased by 47%. For individual product areas, the levels were as follows: increase in loans by 49%,
factoring by 62%, leasing by 37%.
On the deposit side, we focused on improving the deposit margin, which increased by 0.21%, with a
decrease in volume by 6.6% to PLN 23.9bn. The number of payment cards increased by 11.5% to over
100 thousand.
COMPREHENSIVE PRODUCT OFFERING
We create flexible financial solutions tailored to the nature of a specific company's business. We
support them with modern digital solutions conducive to automation and optimisation of the work of
financial departments of companies, including minimising operational activities related to
cooperation with the bank.
Digitalisation of customer service processes
We digitalise processes, which allows us to reduce paper documentation. In 2024, 66% of credit
agreements were signed using a qualified electronic signature, 84% of guarantees were issued in the
form of e-guarantees, 84% of applications for bank accounts and 39% of applications for payment cards
were submitted in digital form.
72
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
The option to conclude transactions in the Millennium Forex Trader electronic online currency
exchange platform has been enjoying greater and greater interest among clients. Already 74% of
transactions are carried out via online banking and the mobile application.
The share of customers using Millennium Leasing's eBOK is consistently growing – at the end of
December it was already 95% of leasing customers. Since the beginning of the year, electronic
applications regarding the handling of contracts and leased items have accounted for 61% of all leasing
applications submitted by customers, while 51% of lease agreements in the corporate banking segment
have been signed electronically.
In the Documents Module in Millenet for Companies, which is used for bilateral exchange of documents
between us and the client via the online transaction service, we have doubled the number of
processed documents compared to 2023.
FLEXIBLE FINANCING
With our products, we support environmentally friendly solutions, energy transformation, innovation
development and at the same time respond to rising electricity prices.
Entrepreneurs can take advantage of credit products and leasing of green assets. We equip

We expanded the loan guarantee offer of Korporacja Ubezpieczeń Kredytów Eksportowych (KUKE)

TRANSACTIONAL AND ELECTRONIC BANKING
We have introduced further solutions and improvements helping clients to manage their company's
finances even more efficiently and conveniently.
Electronic banking for corporate clients
We are developing our offer for enterprises in accordance with the strategic approach that it should
consist of three pillars: a universal browser-based system, a convenient and intuitive mobile
application, and solutions supporting direct integration with clients' financial and accounting systems.
Working with clients in the corporate area is particularly demanding given their diversity – from small
and medium-sized companies to large corporations and government agencies. We improve digital
solutions in response to customer needs, which we get to know, among other things, through
interviews and tests with users.
In 2024, we made changes to the documents module to make its operation more intuitive. We
expanded the service of working capital, investment and revolving loans in Millenet for Companies.
We added a view of loan details, repayment history, instalment schedule, information about interest
rates or possible debt. Customers now have full knowledge of their obligations immediately after
logging in. We also improved the visibility of accounts in Millenet for Companies in response to
customer requests.
74
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
Mobile application
We are expanding with new features the mobile application for business customers released in 2023.
In 2024, we enriched it by adding payment card options (activation, limit and security management
options, including temporary card blocking or restriction and PIN change), deposit management
functionality, direct consultant connection, transaction notifications. Since its launch, Bank
Millennium dla Firm has been the best-rated application in Poland as regards bank mobile applications
designed for enterprises. At the end of 2024, 35% of corporate customers actively using electronic
banking were active users of the mobile application.
Millennium PAY payment gateway
We have launched the Millennium PAY Payment Gateway, which is integrated with the largest open-
source platforms (WooCommerce, PrestaShop, Magento) and gives the possibility of individual
integration when customers use their online shops. Thanks to cooperation with Sellingo, customers
also get the opportunity to create and run an online shop.
eBOK Millennium Leasing in Millenet for Companies
We have expanded the functionalities of the eBOK service with a transparent history of settlements,
including all issued invoices along with recorded customer payments, current balance and balance
after each operation. Thanks to this, customers can check the moment and the reason for arrears or
overpayments and control the status of their settlements at any time.
Transactional Banking
Deposit Machines
We have piloted a new solution to automate cash processes at our clients - the so-called "deposit
machines". The device works similarly to a cash deposit machine. It identifies the depositors,
calculates the deposit, and issues a confirmation. Information about the deposit is electronically
transferred to the bank and automatically posted. Such a process provides the customer with quick
access to cash on the account, reduces the cost of preparing deposits and the number and cost of
convoys.
Residential Escrow Accounts
We have implemented changes to Open and Closed Residential Escrow Accounts (MRP), which enable
the handling of payments under construction projects whose sales began before the entry into force
of the so-called new Developer Act and are continuing after the transitional period provided for in
this Act.
The provisions of the new Developer Act impose different requirements for construction projects
whose sales began during the validity of the old Developer Act, and different requirements for the
period after the so-called transitional period, which ended on 1 July 2024. Our Residential Escrow
Accounts meet all statutory requirements, enabling developers to maintain the continuity of sales
started before the Act was introduced.
WE SUPPORT CLIENTS THROUGH EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES
We support our clients in the challenges they face. We provide up-to-date macroeconomic
information; every week we present a summary and analysis of the most important events from the
domestic and foreign markets. We constantly educate on IT security and fraud risk, and provide
information about available assistance programmes.
We provide information through the Inspiration Zone in the Millenet for Companies transactional
system and, among others, in the form of webinars with the participation of internal and external
experts, presentations by the Bank's experts during conferences and meetings of which we are
partners.
75
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
We cooperate with the CFO Club of ICAN Institute
CFO Club is a development and networking initiative bringing together financial directors (CFOs). The
CFO Club provides access to current knowledge, it is also a platform for exchanging experiences and
networking. The topics discussed during webinars, meetings, podcasts and articles are related to the
most current challenges faced by financial departments in companies: green transformation, ESG,
obtaining public funds for the development of companies, cybersecurity, the use of artificial
intelligence in company operations.
We are a partner of the Forbes Family Business Forum
In the 7th edition of the Forbes Family Business Forum – a joint initiative of Forbes magazine and Bank
Millennium - 9 meetings were held with entrepreneurs in Poland’s biggest cities. During presentations
and panel discussions, we covered topics related to the opportunities and challenges faced by family
businesses: the impact of political and macroeconomic factors on shaping business strategy,
succession planning and execution, investments in innovation and green business transformation, or
the use of artificial intelligence.
BROKERAGE BUSINESS IN THE BANK MILLENNIUM GROUP
Brokerage services are provided within an organisationally separate unit of the Bank under the name
of Brokerage Office of Bank Millennium S.A.
Pursuant to the authorisation granted by the Polish Financial Supervision Authority, we provide
brokerage services to retail and institutional clients as regards, among others:

placing the order,
• purchasing or selling financial instruments on own account,

accounts, derivatives, omnibus accounts and cash accounts for the purposes of servicing
them,

In 2024, we carried out work to increase the scale of operations through i.a.:
• the modernisation and integration of technological infrastructure based on the highest
standards applied in Bank Millennium,
• the project of construction and implementation of a new trading system of the Warsaw
Stock Exchange called WATS (Warsaw Automated Trading System). The planned date of
production launch of WATS is November 2025.
• further integration of processes within the Bank, e.g. in the AML area,
• enabling the conclusion of brokerage agreements electronically using the channels and
technology available in the Bank and provision of a new mobile and web application.

PLN 2.7bn, which according to the Warsaw Stock Exchange data gave market share at 0,4%. In the
retail investor sector, this translated into a share of 1.5%.
As on 31 December 2024 the Brokerage Office serviced 22.7 thous. investment accounts, acted as
market maker and issuer market maker for companies listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange.
76
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
In 2024, the Brokerage Office of Bank Millennium offered covered bonds of Millennium Bank
Hipoteczny with a total value of PLN 800 million. Two series of covered bonds were placed. The first
series carried out in June 2024 was worth PLN 300 million, and the second in October was worth PLN
500 million. Both series attracted a lot interest among with investors, as a result of which the reported
total demand significantly exceeded the value of the instruments offered.
CUSTODIAL SERVICES
We provide custodial services on the basis of an individual permit issued by the Securities and
Exchange Commission (now the Polish Financial Supervision Authority). We are a direct participant of
deposit and settlement systems such as the National Depository of Securities (kdpw_stream), NBP
Register of Securities (RPW), Euroclear Bank SA/NV (Brussels) and Clearstream Banking Luxembourg.
Custody Department customers include domestic and foreign financial institutions (global custodial
banks, banks - depositaries of global depositary receipts, investment banks, asset management
institutions, insurance companies, collective investment institutions, investment funds) and other
legal persons actively participating in capital and money market transactions, requiring
comprehensive and customised service and advanced ICT and infrastructural solutions.
The value of assets on securities accounts of customers, as on 31 December 2024 reached the value
of 69 bn PLN. At the same time as of the end of 2024 we maintained 12843 securities accounts and
foreign financial instruments accounts. In 2024, we also acted as an Issue Agent and Depositary for 22
Investment Funds.
INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS AND EXTERNAL FINANCING
We continued projects connected with the long-term process of strengthening the base of credible
counterparties and partners on the interbank market, including in particular in the segment of
instruments involving medium and long-term liquidity management in FX. One of the important
aspects of the activities in this area was managing the portfolio of agreements with domestic and
foreign banks (including ISDA, GMRA and CDEA agreements) whose form requires regular adjustment
to a changing regulatory environment and market standards. A considerable part of the activity was
also connected with broadly understood compliance issues (including growing demands in the
KYC/AML area as well as sanctions), and also with continuation of work involved with the next issue
of debt instruments meeting the MREL criteria.
Irrespective of the above activities, in the past period we were performing, on an on-going basis, all
other tasks connected with the overall carrying out of international operations, in areas of
implementing various objectives including, among others, the processing of payments and
settlements, current financing of own needs and those of our clients, processing foreign trade
transactions, participating in international money and FX market transactions, operating on the
capital market. The achievement of these objectives was supported, to a large extent, by an almost
thirty-year long process of developing the Bank’s cooperation with its foreign partners and
counterparties. We maintain ongoing contacts and relations with selected reputable correspondent
banks and their units located in all important countries in terms of the structure of turnover of Polish
foreign trade as well as non-trade transactions.
In parallel, in September 2024, we issued Senior Non-Preferred bonds in the amount of EUR 500 million
under the EMTN program.

Millennium Goodie
In 2024, the goodie cashback service continued its upward trend. The number of users actively using
the service increased by 35% y/y. The number of transactions made in this period increased by almost
50% y/y.
Numerous promotions were carried out to encourage users to use the service frequently and to attract
new users. Promotional activities also included the popularisation of the cashback plugin, as well as
increasing the number of promotional leaflets viewed.
A number of activities were carried out to test new communication channels through which new users
could be acquired. In addition, in 4Q24, an intensive video campaign was carried out on the most
popular platforms.
There were also significant increases in the "Moneyback for purchases" service available in the Bank
Millennium application and website – both among new users and in the number of transactions made
through the service.
In terms of the number of gift cards sold, an increase of 20% y/y was achieved.
Millennium Leasing
Millennium Leasing sp. z o.o., a subsidiary of Bank Millennium, was established in 1991 and is one of
the longest operating leasing companies on the Polish market. Its activities cover the financing of all
types of fixed assets: cars and vans, machinery and equipment for most industries, heavy transport
(including: road, rail and water), as well as real estate.
In 2024, the value of leasing agreements initiated by Millennium Leasing amounted to a total of PLN3.9

Millennium TFI investment funds
Millennium TFI S.A is a licensed financial institution operating since 2001 as an entity creating and
managing investment funds. At the end of the year 2024, the company managed customer assets
worth PLN7.6 billion. The number of Millennium funds participants at the end of 2024 amounted to
over 180 thousands.
The main goal of Millennium TFI’s activity is delivering to Clients an attractive and effective
investment solutions and providing professional investment customer service. The fund managers
are professionals with long years of experience and excellent insight into financial markets.
During the year 2024, Millennium TFI has experienced a significant increase of assets under
management of 44.7%. This has been a consequence of a strong performance of the global economy
and lack of escalations of geopolitical tensions. Important role has been played by high interest rates
and bond yields.
In 2024 major central banks started to ease their monetary policies. Both FOMC an ECB decided to
cut interest rates by 100 bp in the second half of the year. Despite softer attitude of main central
banks, victory of D. Trump in US presidential elections deteriorated sentiment in global bond markets
raising fears of worldwide inflation surge and leading to increase of core bond yields.
In Poland Monetary Policy Council maintained interest rates unchanged in entire 2024 year. NBP’s
restrictive monetary policy together with rising core bond yields led also to increase of yields in local
sovereign bond market. As a result, returns of debt investment funds in 2024 were positive in general
but varied from binding strategies and exposure to interest rate risk.

Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
The global equity markets have finished the year of 2024 with further spectacular double digit positive
rates of return. The increases in stock prices were supported by the profits and development of
companies in the artificial intelligence sectors, strength of the US economy, dovish monetary policy
of major central banks and a decline in geopolitical risks.
The Polish stock market stood out negatively compared to developed markets in 2024. Weakness was
particularly evident in the second half of the year. It was related to the US elections and concerns
about the new president’s policies. The main focus was on the possibility of introducing tariffs and
further steps regarding the war in Ukraine. In 2024 the broad market index (WIG) gained 1.4%.
In summary, the behavior of the capital markets in 2024, both in Poland and worldwide, not only
supported the growth of accumulated assets' value but also contributed to a dynamic increase in the
scale of fund unit acquisitions, particularly among fixed-income strategies and in the affluent clients
segment.
Millennium TFI S.A. currently manages three umbrella funds: the Open-End Investment Fund with 6
separate sub-funds investing on the Polish market (Millennium FIO), Specialist Open-End Investment
Fund with 6 separate sub-funds investing on the global markets (Millennium SFIO) and Millennium PPK
Specialist Investment Fund with 9 target date sub-funds. In 2024 Millennium TFI offered
participation units in 21 investment sub-funds with different investment strategies and different
risk levels.
The company’s broad offering includes also various savings products based on the investment funds it
manages. The most frequently chosen by customers include retirement products, including Employee
Capital Plans (PPK) and Individual Pension Account (IKE). Millennium TFI currently manages IKE
programs for 25 thousand customers, with the total asset value of PLN405 million. The assets under
management of the PPK subfunds for over 30 thousands of participants reached PLN237 million at the
end of 2024.
Millennium Bank Hipoteczny
Millennium Mortgage Bank S.A. ("MBH") began operating on June 14, 2021 with an initial capital of
PLN120 million, fully subscribed by Bank Millennium S.A. The purpose of the establishment and mission
of MBH is to provide the Group with stable and long-term financing of mortgage loans in the form of
covered bonds secured by mortgage receivables.
In 2024, MBH began to implement its main strategic goal – the issue of covered bonds. In June, the
1st series of covered bonds with a three-year maturity and a value of PLN300 million was issued. The
second series of bonds with a five-year maturity and a value of PLN500 million was settled at the
beginning of November. Both series were placed on the domestic market of institutional investors,
and their interest rate was determined as a result of bookbuilding in the form of a fixed margin over
the variable WIBOR 3M rate. Both series of covered bonds have been admitted and are listed on the
domestic regulated market operated by the WSE. As of July 2024, MBH's covered bonds have the
highest possible AAA rating obtained by Fitch Ratings.
MBH's covered bonds are secured by mortgage receivables under loans granted by the Bank. In 2024,
four transfers of mortgage loans to MBH were carried out and preparatory work for further transfers
continued. These works primarily include determining the mortgage lending value of real estate
("MLV"). All loans scheduled for transfer meet a number of specific criteria, the most important of
which are:
• loan currency in PLN
• earmarked for housing purposes
• ownership title with established mortgage in favour of Bank Millennium in the 1st place
• no evidence of impairment
• loan value lower than the mortgage lending value (MLV).

both expected and stress economic scenarios in accordance with risk appetite,

tolerate to achieve its financial and strategic objective. Three zones are defined in
accordance with warning / action required level.
87
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
Risk appetite must ensure that business structure and growth will respect the forward risk profile.
Risk appetite was reflected through defined indicators in several key areas, such as:
• Solvency
• Liquidity and funding
• Earnings volatility and Business mix
• Franchise and reputation.
The Bank and the Group have a clear risk strategy, covering retail credit, corporate credit, markets
activity and liquidity, operational and capital management. For each risk type and overall, the Group
clearly defines the risk appetite.
The Risk Management is mainly defined through the principles and targets defined in Risk Strategy
and complemented in more detail by the principles and qualitative guidelines defined in the following
documents:
a. Capital Management and Planning Framework
b. Credit Principles and Guidelines
c. Rules on Concentration Risk Management
d. Principles and Rules of Liquidity Risk Management
e. Principles and Guidelines on Market Risk Management on Financial Markets
f. Principles and Guidelines for Market Risk Management in Banking Book

j. Stress tests policy
k. Sustainability Policy
l. Anti-money laundering and combating of the financing of terrorism policy of Bank Millennium
SA.
Within risk appetite, the Group has defined tolerance zones for its measures (build up based on the
“traffic lights” principle). As for all tolerance zones for risk appetite, it has been set:
▪ Risk appetite status – green zone means a measure within risk appetite, yellow zone means
an increased risk of risk appetite breach, red zone means risk appetite breach
▪ Escalation process of actions/decisions taken - bodies/organizational entities responsible for
decisions and actions in a particular zone
▪ Risk appetite monitoring process.
The Group pays particular attention to continuous improvement of the risk management process. One
measurable effect of this is a success of the received authorization to the further use of the IRB
approach in the process of calculating capital requirements.

11.2. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
Capital management and planning
Capital management relates to two areas: capital adequacy management and capital allocation. For
both areas, management goals were set.
The goal of capital adequacy management is: (a) meeting the requirements specified in external
regulations (regulatory capital adequacy) and (b) ensuring the solvency in normal and stressed
conditions (economic capital adequacy/internal capital). Completing that goal, Bank strives to
achieve internal long-term capital limits (targets), defined in Risk Strategy.
Capital allocation purpose is to create value for shareholders by maximizing the return on risk in
business activity, considering established risk appetite.
In a scope of capital management process, there is also a capital planning process. The goal of
capital planning is to designate the own funds (capital base that is risk-taking capacity) and capital
usage (regulatory capital requirements and economic capital) in a way to ensure that capital
targets/limits shall be met, given forecasted business strategy and risk profile – in normal and
stressed macroeconomic conditions.
Regulatory capital adequacy
The Bank is obliged by law to meet minimum own funds requirements, set in art. 92 of Regulation
(EU) No 575/2013 on prudential requirements for credit institutions and investment firms (CRR). At
the same time, the following buffers were included in capital targets/limits:
• Pillar II FX mortgage loans buffer (P2R buffer) - Polish Financial Supervision Authority (PFSA)
decision regarding order to maintain additional own funds to secure risk resulting from FX
mortgage loans granted to households, under the art. 138.2.2 of Banking Act. A value of that
buffer is defined for particular banks by PFSA every year because of Supervisory Review and
Evaluation Process (SREP) and relates to risk that is in PFSA’s opinion - inadequately covered by
minimum own funds requirements, set in CRR art. 92. The required level of YE24 the buffer was
set by PFSA in the decisions issued in the end of 2023 at the level of 1.47pp (Bank) and 1.46pp
(Group) as for Total Capital Ratio (TCR), which corresponds to capital requirements over Tier 1
ratio of 1.10pp (Bank and Group), and which corresponds to capital requirements over CET 1 ratio
of 0.82pp (Bank and Group);
▪ On January 23, 2025 and February 4, 2025, the Bank received from PFSA decisions regarding
the expiration of the decisions respectively from 13
th
and 21
st
December 2023 on additional
own funds to secure risk resulting from FX mortgage for households’ loan portfolio („P2R
buffer”) accordingly at solo and consolidated basis. Therefore, from the moment of such
decisions, the P2R equals 0,0%.
• Combined buffer – defined in Act on macro prudential supervision over the financial system and
crisis management – that consists of:
▪ Capital conservation buffer at the level of 2.5%;
▪ Other systemically important institution buffer (OSII) – at the level of 0.25%, and the value is
set by PFSA;
▪ Systemic risk buffer at the level of 0% in force from March 2020, in line with Regulation of
Ministry of Development and Finance;
▪ Countercyclical buffer at the 0% level. According to Regulation of the Minister of Finance, the
countercyclical capital requirement will be introduced from 25 September 2025 at 1% and
raised to 2% on 25 September 2026.
89
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
In accordance with binding legal requirements and recommendations of PFSA, the Group defined
regulatory minimum levels of capital ratios, being at the same time the base of defining capital limits.
The below table presents these levels as of 31 December 2024. The Bank will inform on each change

In December 2024, the Bank received a letter from PFSA about non-imposing of additional capital
add-on (P2G). In the supervisory assessment process, the Bank's sensitivity to the possible
materialisation of stress scenarios affecting the level of own funds and risk exposure was assessed as
low. In particular, based on the 2024 supervisory stress tests carried out by the PFSA, the PFSA set
the P2G capital add-ons, before the offsetting of the capital conservation buffer, at 0.17pp at the
stand-alone level and 0.28pp at the consolidated level. The total capital charges recommended under
Pillar II offset by the capital buffer requirement are 0.00pp at the stand-alone level and 0.00pp at
the consolidated level.
Capital risk, expressed in the above capital targets/limits, is measured, and monitored in a regular
manner. Capital limits were defined based on the minimum regulatory capital levels. They are the
basis of setting safety zones and risk appetite. Capital ratios in each zone determine the need to
make appropriate decisions or management actions. Regular monitoring of capital risk is based on the
91
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
classification of capital ratios into appropriate zones, and then the assessment of trends and factors
influencing the level of capital adequacy is carried out.
Own funds capital requirements
The Group continues to be during a project of an implementation of internal ratings-based method
(IRB) for calculation of own funds requirements for credit risk and calculates its own funds minimum
requirements using the IRB and standardise method for credit risk and standardise methods for other
risk types.
In the end of 2012, Banco de Portugal (consolidating Regulator) with cooperation PFSA granted an
approval to the use of IRB approach as to following loan portfolios: (i) Retail exposures to individual
persons secured by residential real estate collateral (RRE), (ii) Qualifying revolving retail exposures
(QRRE). According to the mentioned approval, minimum own funds requirements calculated using the
IRB approach should be temporarily maintained at no less than 80 per cent (‘Regulatory floor’) of the
respective capital requirements calculated using the Standardized approach.
In the end of 2014, the Bank received another decision by Regulatory Authorities regarding the IRB
process. According to its content, for the RRE and QRRE loan portfolios, the minimum own funds
requirements calculated using the IRB approach had to be temporarily maintained at no less than 70
per cent (‘Regulatory floor’) of the respective capital requirements calculated using the Standardized
approach until the Bank fulfils further defined conditions. In July 2017, the Bank received the decision
of Competent Authorities (ECB cooperating with PFSA) on approval of material changes to IRB models
(LGD models) and revoking the ‘Regulatory floor’.
Since 2018, the Bank has been successively implementing a multi-stage process of changes to the IRB
method, related to the requirements regarding the new definition of default. In the first phase, in
line with the “two-step approach” approved by Competent Authorities, the Bank in 2020 successfully
implemented solutions for the new definition of default in the production environment. The Bank is
obliged to include an additional conservative charge on the estimates of the RWA value for exposures
classified under the IRB approach. The level of this add-on, calculated based on the supervisory
algorithm, was set at 5 per cent above the value resulting from the IRB method.
In 2021, all credit risk models included in the rating system subject to the current regulatory approval
were recalibrated and rebuilt. In 2021 the Bank also obtained a decision from Competent Authorities
to approve significant changes to the IRB models used (LGD, LGD in-default and ELBE) for rating
systems subject to the IRB approval.
In 2024, these models were recalibrated in connection with the modification of the default definition
and an application for consent to their use was submitted to the Supervisory Authority.
Further work was carried out on credit risk models for the remaining credit portfolios covered by the
IRB method roll-out plan: other retail exposures and corporate exposures.
Internal capital
The Group defines internal capital according to Polish Banking Act, as the estimated amount needed
to cover all identified, material risks found in the Bank’s activity and changes in economic
environment, considering the anticipated level of risk in the future.
Internal capital is used in capital management in following processes: economic capital adequacy
management and capital allocation. The Bank defined an internal (economic) capital estimation
process. To this end, as for measurable risk types, mathematic and statistic models and methods are
used.
Maintaining economic capital adequacy means a coverage (provision) of internal capital (that is an
aggregated risk measure) by available financial resources (own funds). An obligation to banks to have
in place that sort of risk coverage stems from Banking Act. It was mirrored in the Group’s capital
targets/limits: economic capital buffer and economic capital buffer in stressed conditions.
92
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
In 2024, both above capital targets were met with a surplus. A surplus of own funds over internal
capital supports a further increase of banking activity, in areas with a higher risk-adjusted return.
At the same time internal capital is utilised in capital allocation process, to assign an internal capital
to products/business lines, calculating risk-adjusted performance measures, setting risk limits and
internal capital reallocation.

At the end of 2024, compared to the end of 2023, capital adequacy measured by the Common Equity
Tier 1 capital ratio and the total capital ratio increased by 9 bps and decreased by 82 bps respectively.
Risk-weighted assets (RWA) increased by PLN 3,762 million (9%) in 2024. The largest annual change
concerned RWA for credit risk - an increase of PLN 3,068 million (9%). Changes in RWA for operational
risk, market risk and CVA (due to the fair value adjustment for credit risk) were smaller - a total
increase of PLN 694 million.
Own funds increased by PLN 306 million (4%) in 2024, with basic own funds increasing by PLN 599
million and Tier 2 capital decreasing by PLN 293 million (due to regular depreciation of the existing
subordinated bond issues).
The minimum values of capital ratios required by the PFSA in terms of the combined buffer
requirement (OCR) are achieved with a surplus at the end of 2024.
Leverage ratio stood at the safe level of 4.64%, and it exceeds the regulatory minimum of 3%.

Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
Entry into force starting from January 2025 onwards the Regulation (EU) 2024/1623 of the European
Parliament amending Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 (CRR 3) will impact the Group’s capital adequacy
ratios.
Main changes according to CRR 3 will regard credit conversion factors (CCF) under standardized
method, new approach to the determination of off-balance sheet exposures, risk weight for exposures
secured by real estate property, deletion of 1.06 factor from risk weight calculation under IRB method
(credit risk) and change the way of operational risk capital requirements calculation.
The Bank is still waiting for some areas of CRR 3 interpretation to be closed, namely the calculation
of the operational risk capital requirements, and is working on the revision of the approach for
determination of off-balance-sheet exposures.
According to the current Bank's estimates, the initial negative impact of CRR 3 on consolidated TCR
will be in the range between 0.95pp and 1.81pp, while for consolidated T1 capital ratio in the range
between 0.81pp and 1.55pp.
In December 2024, Bank carried out a synthetic securitization transaction of a portfolio of corporate
and SME loans with the total value PLN of 2.1 billion with the option of increasing the nominal amount
of the Transaction up to the maximum amount of PLN 4.1 million (Ramp-up Option). As part of the
transaction, the Bank transferred to the investor (EBRD) a significant part of the credit risk from the
selected portfolio subject to securitisation. The selected loan portfolio covered by the securitisation
remains on the Bank's balance sheet. The transfer of the risk of the securitised portfolio is carried out
through a credit protection instrument in the form of a financial guarantee issued by the EBRD.
The transaction meets the requirements for transferring a significant part of the risk specified in the
CRR Regulation (Regulation No. 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June
2013 on prudential requirements for credit institutions and investment firms). The Bank is waiting for
confirmation of regulatory non-objection to the use of the transaction in the calculation of risk-
weighted assets. Considering the impact of this transaction, capital ratios as at 31.12.2024 would
increase in terms of the Tier 1 capital ratio by 31 bps to 15.13%, and in terms of the Total Capital
Ratio by 35 bps to 17.59%.
Earlier, in 2024, the Bank renegotiated and extended the period of replenishment of two transactions
concluded in 2023. The replenishment period for the securitisation transactions done by Bank’s
subsidiary, Millennium Leasing, was extended till April 2025 and the replenishment period for Bank’s
transaction on the unsecured retail loans was extended till August 2025.
Minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL)
In the area of minimum requirements for own funds and eligible liabilities subject to write-down or
conversion, the Bank manages MREL requirements indicators in a manner analogous to capital
adequacy indicators.
In June 2024 the Bank received a joint decision from the resolution authorities, obliging it to comply
with MREL requirements. The decision sets updated minimum requirements at the levels of 18.03%
(consolidated MRELtrea) and 5.91% (consolidated MRELtem). Additionally, in relation to the above
decisions, the Bank should also meet the MREL requirement taking into account the Combined Buffer
Requirement (currently 2.75%).
Considering the above, in September 2024, the Bank successfully completed the subscription of senior
non-preferred green bonds with a total value of EUR500million under the Euro Medium Term Notes
Issuance Program.

inclusion of the Combined Buffer Requirement.
11.3. CREDIT RISK
Credit risk means uncertainty about the Client’s compliance with the financing agreements concluded
with the Group i.e., repayment of the principal and interest in the specified time, which may cause
a financial loss to the Group.
The credit policy pursued in the Group is based on a set of principles such as:
▪ centralization of the credit decision process;
▪ using specific scoring/rating models for each Client segment/type of products;
▪ using IT information (workflow) to support the credit process at all stages;
▪ existence of specialized credit decisions departments for particular Client segments;
▪ regular credit portfolio monitoring, both at the level of each transaction in the case of major
exposures, and at credit sub-portfolio level (by the Client segment, type of product,
distribution channels, etc.);
▪ using the structure of limits and sub-limits for credit exposure to avoid credit concentration
and promote the effects of credit portfolio diversification;
▪ separate unit responsible for granting rating to corporate Client, thus separating the credit
capacity assessment and credit transaction granting from his creditworthiness assessment.
In the area of credit risk, in 2024, the Group focused on adjusting the principles of its credit policy
to changing economic conditions and on improving the tools and processes of credit risk management,
in particular
▪ updated the Risk Strategy for the years 2025-2028;
▪ optimised the methodology, tools, and processes of credit risk management for retail and
corporate clients;
▪ updating the industry risk classification and industry limits.
95
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
In the retail segment, emphasis was placed on revamping risk policy in the area of financing business
activity and improving the processes and the tools that support credit decision process in this
segment. In the area of mortgage loans, activities were focused on improving the processes in
accordance to adaptation to changing legal regulations and changing supervisory requirements, while
improving automation and digitalization of the process. Similar approach was also undertaken in
consumer finance area. In particular the credit processes was improved with focus on further
digitalization while adjusted to changing supervisory requirements.
In the corporate segment, the Group focused on the optimal use of capital while maintaining the
current profitability and maintaining a good risk profile. The Group also carried out activities aimed
at improving and accelerating credit processes, including decision-making processes. As in previous
periods, work continued improving IT tools supporting the credit process. The Group also continued
the close monitoring of the loan portfolio as well as the individual monitoring of the largest exposures.
All the above changes in both the retail and corporate segment enabled the Group to maintain the
risk at an acceptable level defined in the Risk Strategy as well as prepared the Group to new
challenges and to act in changed conditions.
Loan portfolio quality
At the end of December 2024, the share of impaired loans (including stage 3 portfolio and the
defaulted portfolio of Purchased or Originated Credit Impaired assets – POCI) in total loan portfolio
reached the level of 4.45%. This means a drop of 13bps from the level of 4.58% at the end of 2023,
which was achieved largely due to the sales of NPL portfolios and Group’s write-offs policy. Share of
loans past-due more than 90 days in total portfolio slightly increased from 2.12% in December 2023
to 2.19% in December 2024.
Coverage ratio of impaired loans, defined as relation of total risk provisions to the volume of stage 3
loans and POCI assets in default, has slightly increased from 72.21% in December 2023 to 72.89%. The
ratio improved despite the reduction by PLN254mn of 100% covered loans (write-offs) and by
PLN286mn of highly covered loans (NPL sales) in 2024. Coverage by total provisions of loans past-due
more than 90 days decreased from 156% year ago to 148% at the end of December 2024.

Impaired loans ratio for retail clients decreased from 4.79% to 4.40% (including drop in other retail of
1.39pp and drop in mortgage portfolio of 0.09pp) and at the same time increased in the corporate
portfolio from 3.77% to 4.65% (growth in leasing portfolio of 0.30pp and growth in other corporate
portfolio of 1.31pp). The value of foreign currency mortgage loans (deducted by allocated provisions)
decreased as much by approx. 56.3% year-to-date (in PLN terms) as a result of verdicts, write-offs
and amortization of this portfolio as well as due to increase of provisions created for legal risk.
Additionally, it should be noted that ex-Euro Bank mortgage portfolio, in amount of approx.
PLN697mn, enjoys a guarantee and indemnity from Société Genéralé. Excluding this portfolio, the
share of FX mortgage loans in the total loan portfolio decreases from 3.7% to 1.5%. The improvement
in the currency structure of the mortgage loan portfolio was supported by a significant increase in
sales of new loans in PLN.

The Group's portfolio is characterized by appropriate diversification, both due to the concentration
of the largest exposures and due to the concentration in sectors of the economy. Participation of the
10 largest exposures remain at a safe, low level of 4.2% (marginal increase in 2024 from 4.1% at the
end of 2023).
The distribution of the portfolio by Stage 1/2 and PD ranges as well as the distribution by Stage3/POCI
and months in default is presented below separately for the following homogenous portfolios:
Mortgage, Other retail, Other Corporate and Leasing.
The average 12-month Probability of Default (PD) for Stage 1/2 in Mortgage decreased from 2.23% in
2023 to 0.59%, primarily due to a reduction in conservative PD adjustments driven by an improved
macroeconomic outlook regarding interest rates. Meanwhile, the average Loss Given Default (LGD)
increased from 14.74% to 17.40%, reflecting a more cautious approach concerning expected recoveries
in this segment. This upward trend in LGD is also observed in Stage 3/Purchased or Originated Credit
Impaired (POCI) portfolios, where the figures rose from 49.34% in 2023 to 55.13%.

Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
Within the Other Corporate portfolio, an increase in the average 12-month Probability of Default (PD)
for Stage 1/2 from 1.89% to 2.36% indicates a slight deterioration in the portfolio, both in terms of
observed default rates and outlook for the year 2025. Despite the increase in the average Loss Given
Default (LGD) for the Stage 3/POCI portfolio from 33.15% to 34.23%, it continues to indicate a high
level of recoveries. This is primarily attributed to the good quality and value of the collaterals.

11.4. OTHER RISKS
Market Risk and Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Book (IRRBB)
The market risk encompasses current and prospective impact on earnings or capital, arising from
changes in the value of the Group’s portfolio due to adverse market movement (prices).
The interest rate risk arising from Banking Book activities (IRRBB) encompasses current or prospective
impact to both the earnings and the economic value of the Group’s portfolio arising from adverse
movements in interest rates that affect interest rate sensitive instruments. The risk includes gap risk,
basis risk and option risk.
The framework of market risk and interest rate risk management and its control are defined on
a centralized basis with the use of the same concepts and metrics which are used in all the entities
of the BCP Group.
The main measure used by the Group to evaluate market risks is the parametric VaR (Value at Risk)
model – an expected loss that may arise on the portfolio over a specified period (holding period) with
a required probability (confidence level) due to an adverse market movement. The market risk
measurement is carried out daily (intra-day and end-of-day), both on an individual basis for each of
the areas responsible for risk taking and risk management, and in consolidated terms for Global Bank,
Banking Book and Trading Book considering the effect of the diversification that exists between the
portfolios. In addition, each Book is divided into the risk management areas.
In 2024, the VaR limits were not breached for Global Bank and also for Trading and Banking Book. It
should be noted that the value at risk in Banking Book is only complementary risk measurement tool
as positions are expected to be held to maturity and are in large majority not marked to market. All
excesses of market risk limits are always reported, documented, and ratified at the proper
competence level.
Within the current market environment, the Group continued to act very prudently. In 2024, open
positions mostly included interest-rate instruments and FX risk instruments. In 2024, the VaR
indicators for the Group remained on average at the level of 263.2m PLN (48 per cent of the limit)
and 223.4m PLN (39 per cent of the limit) as of the end of December 2024. The current limits in place
have been valid since 30
th
September 2024 and remains conservative - level for Global Bank no more
than 575.5m PLN and for Trading Book no more than 20.8m PLN. FX open position (Intraday as well as
Overnight) remained below 2 per cent of The Own Funds and well below the maximum limits in place.
Apart from daily measurement at the level of each book and market risk area, the VaR model is mainly
applicable and analysed at the Trading Book level, where the policy intention is to trade positions on
the regular basis (mostly daily). On contrary, following the supervisory guidelines, the interest rate
risk in Banking Book is mainly covered by both earnings-based and economic value measures, by
measuring:
- the impact on the net interest income over a time horizon of next 12 months resulting from
one-off interest rate shock of upward/downward yield curve shift by 100 basis points,
108
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
- the impact on net interest income over a time horizon of next 12 months resulting from a
supervisory outlier test (SOT) shocks including parallel up and parallel down scenarios,
- the impact on the economic value of equity (EVE) resulting from 100 bps upward/downward
yield curve movements,
- the impact on the economic value of equity (EVE) resulting from different upward/downward
basis points shocks, including scenarios defined by the supervisor (standard, supervisory test
assuming sudden parallel +/-200 basis points shift of the yield curve as well supervisory outlier
test - SOT with set of six interest rate risk stress scenarios).
Exposure to interest rate risk in the Banking Book are primarily generated by the differences in
repricing dates of assets and liabilities as well as its reference indexes, if contractually existing.
Regarding EVE measures, it is specifically affected by the unbalance between assets and liabilities
that have fixed rate. In case of low interest rates, significant impact is tied to liabilities which cannot
have interest rate lower than 0. Consequently, the level of sensitivity to interest rate changes is
influenced by the level of interest rates taken as a reference. Additionally, due to specificity of the
polish legal system, the interest rate of credits is limited (it cannot exceed two times Reference Rate
of the National Bank of Poland increased by 7 percentage points). In situations of decreasing interest
rates, the impact on Net Interest Income is negative and depends on the structure of the asset
portfolio, including the share of assets subject to immediate revaluation. On the other hand,
assumptions regarding the timing and size of deposits repricing are also very important when assessing
the interest rate sensitivity and risk.
The results of the IRRBB measurement as of the end of December 2024 indicate that the Group is the
most exposed to scenarios of interest rates increase in case of EVE metrics and interest rates decrease
in case of NII metrics. In case of supervisory outlier test for EVE, results as of December 2024 show
that even under the most severe outlier test scenario, the decline of EVE for Banking Book is below
supervisory limit of 15% of Tier 1 Capital.
The results of sensitivity of NII for the next 12 months after 31
st
December 2024 and for position in
Polish Zloty in Banking Book are carried out under the following assumptions:
• static balance sheet structure as of that reference date (no change during the following 12
months),
• reference level of net interest income assuming that all assets and liabilities with variable interest
rate already reflect market interest rates levels as of 31
st
December 2024 (for example, the NBP
Reference rate at the end of 2024 was set at 5.75%),
• application of a parallel move of 100 bps in the yield curve up and down is an additional shock to
all market interest rates levels as of 31
st
December 2024 and is set at the repricing date of the
assets and liabilities that happens during the 12 following months
In a scenario of parallel decrease of interest rates for position in Polish Zloty by 100 bps, the results
are positive and equal to PLN4mn or 0.08% of the Group’s NII reference level. In a scenario of parallel
increase of interest rates for position in Polish Zloty by 100 bps, the results are positive and equal to
+PLN3mn or +0.05% of the Group’s NII reference level. The results show that the Group is now in
balanced situation regarding strength in the scenario of a decline or increase in interest rates. At the
same time, the results indicate that the Group is immaterially sensitive to a change in interest rates
in Polish Zloty by 100 bps over a 12-month horizon – significantly below the limit set (10% of the
reference interest income for the last 12 months).
For positions in all significant currencies (PLN, CHF, EUR, USD) the impact of parallel decrease of
interest rates by 100 bps is equal to -PLN27mn or -0.49% of the Group’s NII reference level. In a
scenario of parallel increase of interest rates by 100 bps, the results are positive and equal to
+PLN27mn or +0.49% of the Group’s NII reference level. The Group also meets the limit of the
Supervisory Outlier Test for the measure of net interest income, which is defined at 5% of Tier 1
capital.

and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024

Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk reflects the possibility of incurring significant losses because of deteriorated financing
conditions (financing risk) and/or of the sale of assets for less than their market value (market
liquidity risk) to meet the funding needs arising from the Group’s obligations.
The process of the Group’s planning and budgeting covers the preparation of a Liquidity Plan to make
sure that the growth of business will be supported by an appropriate liquidity financing structure and
supervisory requirements in terms of quantitative liquidity measures will be met.
In 2024, the Group continued to be characterized by solid liquidity position. All the supervisory and
internal liquidity indicators remained significantly above minimum limits in place. The steps taken as
part of standard and binding risk management procedures have proved sufficient for managing
liquidity in the current market environment. In 2024, in consequences of the increase of the deposits
from Customers at the faster pace than loans, there was further improvement of the Group’s Loan-
to-Deposit ratio to 64 per cent at the end of December 2024 (comparing to level of 69 per cent as of
end of December 2023).
The liquid assets portfolio is treated by the Group’s as liquidity reserve, which will overcome crisis
situations. This portfolio consists of liquid debt securities issued or guaranteed by Polish government,
other EU’s sovereigns, European Union and multilateral development banks’, supplemented by the
cash and exposures to the National Bank of Poland. At the end of 2024, the share of liquid debt
securities (including NBP Bills) in total securities portfolio amounted to 99.9% and allowed to reach
the level of approx. PLN 53.9bn (39 per cent of total assets), whereas at the end of December 2023
was at the level of approx. PLN 40.9bn (33 per cent of total assets).

on Dec 31, 2026
Consequently, the large, diversified, and stable funding from retail, corporate and public sector
Clients remains the main source of financing of the Group. At the end of 2024, the source of medium-
term funding included subordinated debt, own EUR bonds issue and securitization of loan and leasing
portfolios, as well as covered bonds issued by Millennium Bank Hipoteczny (mortgage bank).
The Group manages its FX liquidity using FX-denominated deposits, own issue of EUR bonds as well as
Cross Currency Swap and FX Swap transactions. The importance of swaps has been decreasing because
of the reduction of the FX mortgage loan portfolio and the hedge in foreign currency of most of the
provisions for legal risk. For most counterparties, the Bank has signed a Credit Support Annex to the
master agreements.
The estimation of the Group’s liquidity risk is carried out both with the use of the ratios defined by
the supervisory authorities and own indicators, for which exposure limits were also established.
According to the final provisions of CRD V/CRR II package, the Group is calculating the liquidity
coverage requirement (LCR) and the net stable funding ratio (NSFR). The regulatory minimum of 100%
for both LCR and NSFR was compiled by the Group. LCR improved substantially during 2024 and
110
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
reached the level of 371% at the end of December 2024 (327% as of the end of December 2023). The
increase was mainly connected with increase of deposit from retail Clients, which was invested in
liquid assets portfolio. The measure is calculated daily and has been reported on the monthly basis
to NBP since March 2014. Internally, the LCR is estimated daily and reported to the areas responsible
for the management and control of the liquidity risk in the Group. NSFR is monitored and reported
monthly. In 2024, the NSFR was above the supervisory minimum of 100% (supervisory minimum valid
since June 2021). NSFR reached the level of 196% at the end of December 2024 (180% as of the end
of December 2023). Moreover, in line with Recommendation WFD (issued in July 2024), the Group is
calculating monthly Long Term Funding Ratio (LTFR/WFD), which in December 2024 reached 28.0%.
Additionally, the Group employs an internal structural liquidity analysis based on cumulative
behaviour liquidity gaps. In 2024 all the liquidity gaps were maintained positive. The safe level
adopted by the Group for the ratio of liquidity shortfall is established for each time bucket below 5
years at the level of 12 per cent of total assets.
Liquidity stress tests are performed at least quarterly, to understand the Group’s liquidity-risk profile
and to ensure that the Group can fulfil its obligations in the event of a liquidity crisis and to update
the Liquidity Contingency Plan and management decisions. As of December 2024, the results of the
stress test analysis demonstrated that liquidity position is not threaten as even in the most severe
scenario the survival period is still significantly above the limit of 3 months.
The liquidity risk management process is regulated in the internal policy that is a subject of the Bank’s
Management Board approval.
The Group has also emergency procedures for situations of increased liquidity risk – the Liquidity
Contingency Plan. The Liquidity Contingency Plan establishes the concepts, priorities, responsibilities,
and specific measures to be taken in the event of a liquidity crisis. The Liquidity Contingency Plan is
tested and revised at least once a year. The revised Plan was approved by the Supervisory Board in
November 2024.
More information on liquidity risk management can be found in chapter 8.5 of the Annual Consolidated
Report of the Bank Millennium S.A. Capital Group for the 12-month period ending 31
st
December 2024.
Operational risk
Operational risk management is based on the processes structure implemented in the Group and
overlapping the traditional organizational structure. Current management of the specific processes,
including the management of the profile of process operational risk, is entrusted to Process Owners,
who report to all other units participating in the risk management process and are supported by these
units.
To manage the fraud risk, the Group has in its structure a special organizational unit to develop,
implement and monitor the Group’s policy for management of this risk in cooperation with other
organizational units of the Group and in accordance with its internal regulations. Fraud Risk
Management Sub-unit in the Security Department is a centre of competence for the fraud prevention
process.

Non-compliance risk
Lack of compliance of the Bank’s operations with binding laws, internal regulations, and market
standards is linked with the risk of legal and regulatory sanctions, material, or reputation losses.
Therefore, it is one of the areas threatening the banking activity. By monitoring compliance with both
internal and external regulations, Bank Millennium considers it to be particularly important:
▪ Preventing money laundering and financing of terrorism,
▪ Ensuring consistency of Bank Millennium’s internal normative acts with binding laws as well
as recommendations issued by supervisory authorities,
▪ Counteracting and managing conflicts of interest,
▪ Counteracting corruption,
▪ Observance of ethical principles,
▪ Monitoring personal transactions and protecting confidential information related to Bank
Millennium, financial instruments issued by the Bank as well as information connected with
purchase/sale of such instruments,
▪ Monitoring and ensuring compliance of products and services, including investment products
and services covered by MiFID II Directive.
Bank Millennium undertakes appropriate actions for the purpose of ongoing and continuous tracking
of changes occurring in binding legal regulations as well as recommendations and guidance given by
supervisory authorities, both national as well as of the European Union. To ensure compliance of the
Bank's operation with the applicable laws, the Compliance Department undertakes several activities
such as:
1) informing about changes in law,
2) analysis of internal normative acts binding at the Bank in terms of compliance with applicable
laws and standards,
3) analysing new products and services and changes in products and services,
4) measuring compliance risk in processes operating at the Bank,
5) participating in key implementation projects, and
6) staff training.
The Bank’s operations may generate a conflict of interest between Bank’s interests and the interests
of Customers. The Bank’s main principle is to take all reasonable steps to identify a conflict of interest
between the Bank and its Customers, as well as between individual Customers, and to establish rules
ensuring that such conflicts have no adverse impact on Customers’ interests.
The Bank Millennium Group undertakes also appropriate actions to ensure conduct concerning
personal transactions, which is compliant with standards and laws. These actions and measures are
meant to, according to the circumstances, to restrict or prevent performance of personal transactions
by relevant persons in situations, which may cause a conflict of interest or be involved with access to
confidential information or to data about Customers’ transactions.
Shares of Bank Millennium are admitted to public trading on the Warsaw Stock Exchange. Such status
requires special attention and observance of the obligation to maintain highest standards for
transparency of financial markets. The policy of Bank Millennium is to maintain strict control as
regards protection of the flow of confidential information (including in accordance with the
requirements of Regulation No. 596/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 April
2014 on abuses on the market abuse, MAR). The Bank prohibits the use and disclosure of confidential
information in any form. Purchasing and selling by persons discharging managerial responsibilities, of
the Bank’s shares, debt instruments of the Bank or derivatives or other financial instruments linked
to them is forbidden during closed periods.
112
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
The Anti-Money Laundering and Counter Terrorism Financing programme (AML/CTF), applied by the
Bank Millennium, is a comprehensive system of identification of threats related to money laundering
crimes.
Actions launched under this programme include in particular:
▪ application of financial security measures to Customers, depending on the degree of risk and
based on „Know your Client” or (KYC) principle – the key concept of the program,
▪ transaction registration and reporting,
▪ identification of suspicious transactions,
▪ cooperation with the General Inspector of Financial Information.
Bank Millennium adjusts its reports to the analysis of suspected transactions on the on-going basis,
considering up-to-date patterns (sectors, cash-flow routes, Customer behaviour) for effective
identification and reporting of transactions suspected of money laundering. Implemented internal
procedures, organizational solutions and employee training programmes ensure efficient operation of
the programme.
Bank Millennium, with view to protecting Customers who invest their funds in investment products
with varied degree of risk, strictly monitors compliance of these products, their offering and handling
process with relevant internal regulations, laws, and external guidelines – on the domestic and
European Union level. A specific compliance monitoring programme also covers consumer loans and
insurance products (including insurance–investment products) addressed to consumers.
The Bank Millennium has mechanisms and internal regulations allowing for anonymous reporting of
violations of law and internal regulations and ethical standards (the so-called whistleblowing) to the
Chairman of the Management Board, and in the case of notification concerning a Member of the
Management Board - to the Supervisory Board. The Bank Millennium will verify each application,
ensuring that the reporting person will be protected by acts of repressive, discriminatory, and unfair
nature.

12. HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT
12.1. HUMAN RESOURCES (HR) POLICY
The Human Resources (HR) policy is based on the mission and values of Bank Millennium and defines
the framework for the functioning of the HR area in the Bank Millennium Group, referring to both the
HR management model and the regulations that constitute the legal basis for the HR management
system in the Bank Millennium Group.
The HR Policy defines the main areas of HR activities, such as recruitment and onboarding,
remuneration and benefits, training and development, leadership, employee opinion surveys,
digitalisation of processes and HR data analysis, defines objectives in these areas that result from the
Bank Millennium Group's strategy and HR itself, and refers to the ambitions and aspirations that HR is
guided by.
The HR Strategy is based on the assumptions of the HR Policy and is also part of Bank Millennium's
business strategy "Growth and Value", which was announced for 2025-2028, constituting an
important element supporting its implementation. The strategic objectives of HR for the strategic
period are:
1. Support for business lines, primarily corporations and small businesses, in the form of
recruitment, ensuring effective onboarding, training and development, and continuing extensive
development activities for retail banking employees;
2. Active work on employee satisfaction and increasingly better results of Top Employer
certification to ensure that Bank Millennium is considered the possibly best place to work;
3. An active remuneration policy to ensure employee retention, job satisfaction and to enable
the recruitment of new people to Bank Millennium;
4. Supporting activities in the area of organisational culture, which should be conducive to the
implementation of the Bank strategy;
5. Digitalisation of HR processes and increasingly better implementation of HR services.
HR policy means strategic activities in the field of human resources management support the business
needs of the Bank Millennium Group in order to create a friendly, development-oriented and safe
workplace.
Friendly workplace
Bank Millennium creates a good working environment for employees regardless of gender, age, race,
religion, nationality, ethnic origin, disability, political beliefs, trade union membership and sexual
orientation, who find here conditions for professional development in an atmosphere of cooperation
and mutual respect.
Therefore, in 2024 Bank Millennium became the winner of a number of awards, which can be found
in chapter 10 of this report. The Bank was recognised for its activities for the benefit of employees,
responsible management, supporting diversity and sustainable development.
Bank and Bank Millennium Group also reward their employees.
• In 2024, the IMPAKT Employee Rewards Program, in which employees reward their
colleagues, was continued. The program integrates the community, builds a culture of
cooperation and mutual appreciation. In 2024, 58 employees were awarded for their
commitment, quality improvement, innovative solutions and taking on challenges that inspire
others.
114
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
• The best employees and managers are given the Chairman's Awards for above-average
professional achievements once a year. In 2024, they were distributed to 11 employees from
the head office and sales network.
Competence development
The Bank continued to implement extensive training programs for business lines, in particular those
that enable both on-boarding of new employees and ensure their development during their work in
the organisation. The trainings were addressed in particular to employees of retail and franchise
networks, direct banking employees, corporate banking advisors, those from affluent customer
banking and people involved in the sale of insurance products. They covered a wide variety of issues
necessary for the effective performance of tasks, in particular issues related to sales techniques,
customer service models and knowledge of the Bank’s products and systems.
The development of managers is carried out on many levels.
Consistently, for several years, the M#leaders leadership skills development program has been
implemented. The programme is based on the John Maxwell methodology used in the Bank Millennium
Group and includes several dozen hours of workshops at the basic and advanced levels.
Managers also develop their competences by using access to the Youniversity streaming service,
which gives access to knowledge in dozens of thematic areas important in management.
Individual development needs are met through access to the Coachhub coaching platform. As part
of individual meetings, managers can identify and select areas for development, and then - with the
help of a certified coach - achieve the set goals. The programme is carried out online. Thanks to this,
you can develop anywhere and at any time preferred by the employee.
People entering the managerial path use a solution focused on learning basic and intermediate
managerial tools. The process consists of a diverse set of development activities – from a group
development session, through an advanced competence diagnosis, implementation of skills in practice
and many weeks of support from a mentor experienced in business.
A separate managerial certification program, supporting managers of retail outlets, is implemented
in retail banking.
The Bank ran a programme of lectures as part of Development Fridays, which was highly appreciated
by its employees. The purpose of the "Development Fridays" programme is to support the sharing of
knowledge and experience of employees. The speakers are specialists of the Bank Millennium Group
and the proposal to participate in the programme is addressed to all employees. Lectures are
conducted online, recordings with additional materials are made available on the training platform
and on the "Millennium World" intranet.
The Bank Millennium Group also supports the development of employees through a wide range of e-
learning courses. The bank uses a specialized platform that allows it to manage both the content and
the course of training processes.

Diversity policy
When implementing the Diversity Policy, the Bank operates with respect for human dignity and
observes the right to equal treatment regardless of age, gender, ethnic and national origin, religion,
denomination, family status, sexual orientation, health condition, beliefs, trade union membership
and other premises exposing to discriminatory behaviour. The Bank is also a signatory of the Diversity
Charter, which is a commitment signed by organisations that decide to prohibit discrimination in the
workplace and work to create and promote diversity. Respect for diversity in the Bank Group is also
regulated by the Code of Ethics, the Work Regulations and recruitment regulations. The
implementation of these policies has resulted in a number of actions:
• All employees undergo mandatory training on ethical issues. In addition, the managerial
staff is trained in counteracting mobbing and discrimination in employment. The Bank
has anti-mobbing and anti-discrimination procedures in place. There is a system for
reporting abuse, which is independent of the hierarchy.
• When recruiting employees, criteria exposing them to discriminatory behaviour are
not applied. These rules also apply to termination of employment, terms of employment,
promotion and access to training to improve professional qualifications. Candidates are
selected on the basis of objective criteria, such as, in particular: education, professional
experience, general and specific competences, knowledge of foreign languages and
general fit to the profile.
• The Bank analyses the remuneration structure and equality in access to earnings and
positions on an ongoing basis due to gender, age and nationality. Periodically, interviews
are conducted with people leaving the Bank to determine the reasons for leaving.
• Benefits such as medical care, group insurance, co-financing of sports and recreation,
and culture are offered to all employees, including those who work part-time. Employees
are provided with a "cafeteria where they have access to a wide range of benefits." The
bank encourages employees to use up their holidays.
• The Bank supports people in a difficult financial and health situation through the
existing social assistance system based on the Company Social Benefits Fund.
• Persons with disabilities can use office infrastructure adapted to their abilities.

and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
• The Bank conducted training for managerial staff on managing a multigenerational team.
• The Bank conducts development initiatives available to all employees. "Diversity is OK!"
It is an initiative that supports diversity. Regular meetings are organised with speakers
who are specialists, scientists, and public figures to educate employees in the field of
multigenerationality, cultural differences, disability, gender identity, gender equality,
levelling the pay gap, and neurodiversity. Such activities allow for a better understanding
of diversity, noticing different points of view, creating a synergy effect from differences
and looking for non-standard solutions for both employees and customers to level the
playing field and create more opportunities. Recordings and meeting materials are
available to employees in the internal training platform and in the Millennium World, on
a separate intranet website.
The me zone is a separate space on the Intranet that was created to take care of the well-being of
employees. The website with recordings and materials as well as activities are available to all
employees. In addition to webinars on health and building mental resilience, differences and coping
with social and professional roles of women and men, the Bank organised the Week for Health and an
oncological prevention campaign.
The Bank allows the use of tickets to selected amusement parks for employees and their children
during the summer and Christmas holidays. Campaigns of this type are aimed at inspiring employees
to spend time together with their loved ones.
• The Bank promotes and encourages volunteering activities. For the 11th time, the Christmas
Charity Auction was organized, during which people employed at Bank Millennium put up
among others hand-made items for auction. PLN 66,736 was collected, and by the decision of
the Management Board of Bank Millennium this amount was doubled and divided equally
among all beneficiaries of Bank Millennium.
• The Bank, together with the Bank Millennium Foundation, encourages all employees to
volunteer activities. Employees have the opportunity to support ecology, education and
culture. 2024 was a breakthrough year for the Bank Millennium Foundation, full of successfully
implemented initiatives for the benefit of local communities: children and their parents, the
environment and culture. The Sports Challenge Our People'24: Save the Planet is a charity
initiative organised by the Bank Millennium Foundation and Bank Millennium, which aims to
promote a healthy lifestyle and protect the environment. The challenge lasted three months
and involved 1433 Bank Millennium employees in regular physical activity, collecting points
and competing both individually and in teams. Finally, Bank Millennium donated PLN 250,000
to the Bank Millennium Foundation for the implementation and promotion of volunteering. As
part of Save the Planet, volunteers of Bank Millennium and the Bank Millennium Foundation
organised Eco-initiatives and Actions to help people affected by the flood.
At Bank Millennium, women make up the majority of employees - 65%. Their share in the Bank's
management team (starting from the position of branch manager) was about 54%. Although the share
of women in senior management has been steadily increasing in recent years, they are still under-
represented and account for 33% of this group.
The Bank's strategy, including, for example, building units to serve foreigners working in Poland, also
serves to increase the diversity of employees in terms of nationality: in 2024, 40 foreigners were
employed.
The age structure of employees is relatively balanced, with people both entering the labour market
and people at the end of their professional careers being employed. The largest group of employees
are people between 30 and 50 years of age – over 65%. Young people up to 30 years of age - 20%.
In connection with the long-term development strategy, the Bank will strive to further take into
account diversity in terms of competences and professional experience of employees in its human
resources management policy.

The remuneration policy of the Bank Millennium Group is aimed at ensuring that the remuneration of
employees is adequate to the current tasks, competences and responsibilities.
In particular, great importance is attached to the proper formation of the basic salary. On the basis
of internal reports, the Bank assesses and verifies the level of remuneration in relation to specific
categories of employees. We are committed to ensuring consistency in the remuneration system and
maintaining a balance in the way employees who perform the same work or work of the same value
are remunerated. Salary levels are verified taking into account periodic performance assessments and
possible evolution of the level of skills involved in the implementation of the organisation's tasks. The
analyses also take into account salary benchmarks on the financial market.

12.3. REMUNERATION POLICY
The Bank Millennium Group has in place the "Employee Remuneration Policy in the Bank Millennium
Group", which formulates the assumptions used in shaping the components of fixed and variable
remuneration for all employees of the Group.
According to the policy, the main source of income for employees is the basic salary resulting from
employment contracts. Variable remuneration is an additional, motivational element of the total
remuneration. The basic salary of an employee is determined in relation to the tasks performed in a
given organisational unit, the scope of responsibility, qualifications, impact on the company's risk
profile and on the basis of the analysis of salary information presented in salary surveys on the
financial market.
The Bank conducts periodic reviews of salaries and positions. The Bank's Management Board may
decide to allocate a pool of funds to be used to change the base salaries of employees, after assessing
the Group's financial condition and business environment, including current reports on remuneration
levels in the financial sector.
Individual pay rates are verified taking into account periodic assessment of work performance, the
scope of the employee's tasks and skills, and are also compared with data on market wages for
positions with a similar scope of competences. The gender pay gap is also being analysed, taking into
account the differences in the level of pay between men and women in similar positions.
Variable remuneration is shaped as part of various bonus systems, the purpose of which is to motivate
employees to achieve business and organisational goals. Bonus systems and periodic evaluation
criteria in the Bank Millennium Group are tailored to the specific nature of employees' activities in
individual areas of the Group. The amount of bonus budgets granted for bonus payments is determined
after an analysis of capital and liquidity ratios and depending on the degree of achievement of Bank
Millennium's operating results. In the case of employees of business lines, budgets can also be linked
to the achievement of the goals of individual lines. It is assumed that individual bonuses cannot
exceed 100% of the total annual basic salary. Individual bonuses are awarded as part of the variable
remuneration pool based on the assessment of the quality of work and the degree of commitment to
achieving the goals set for employees.
The Bank Millennium Group attaches importance to the proper formation of remuneration of
employees in managerial positions, who are classified as Risk Takers. The rules for granting variable
remuneration to Members of the Management Board of Bank Millennium and other Risk Takers are
included in the "Remuneration policy with respect to Risk Takers in the Bank Millennium SA Group".
The policy is reviewed annually.
The bonus pool for Risk Takers is determined after a prior analysis of the Bank's situation in terms of:
• results of the Bank Millennium Group,
• the level of the capital adequacy ratio at the individual and consolidated level,
• the level of risk ratios relating to the liquidity of the Bank Millennium Group.
119
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
Performance evaluation includes financial and non-financial criteria and takes place over a period
of at least three years.
Rules applicable to the payment of variable remuneration paid in 2024 for 2023:
Risk Takers - Members of the Management Board of Bank Millennium (Risk Takers I)
50% of the value of variable remuneration components is awarded and paid after the end of the
settlement period and after the announcement of financial results. The payment of 50% of the
variable remuneration is deferred for 5 years, payable in equal annual instalments. Members of the
Management Board will receive each part of the bonus granted – paid in the year following the
settlement period and deferred – after re-evaluation - a half in cash and half in the form of financial
instruments. The part of the bonus paid in the form of financial instruments is retained for 12 months.
Other Risk Takers (non-Management Board) (Risk Takers II)
60% of the value of variable components of remuneration for the previous year is awarded and paid
after the end of the settlement period. The payment of the remaining 40% of the variable
remuneration is deferred for 5 years, payable after re-evaluation, in equal annual instalments. A
minimum of 50% of the variable remuneration is, as a rule, paid in the form of financial instruments.
Part of the bonus paid in the form of financial instruments is subject to retention for 12 months.
The Personnel Committee of the Bank's Management Board has the right to decide not to postpone
variable remuneration in an amount below a certain value. When the bonus amount set for a Risk
Taker II for a given calendar year does not exceed the equivalent of EUR 50,000 and 1/3 of the total
annual salary, the bonus may be paid in full in cash, in a non-deferred form, on the basis of a decision
made by the Personnel Committee of the Bank's Management Board.
As part of the bonus programme for Risk Takers II for 2023, in 2024 bonuses were awarded in full in
cash without the application of the deferral mechanism.
Remuneration of the Management Board
Determining the terms of contracts and remuneration for Members of the Management Board is the
competence of the Supervisory Board, taking into account the recommendations of the Personnel
Committee of the Supervisory Board responsible for supervising the remuneration policy. The
framework for remunerating Members of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board is defined
in the "Remuneration Policy with regard to Members of the Management Board and Supervisory Board
of Bank Millennium SA" adopted by the General Meeting of Shareholders.
The Policy is one of the tools for the implementation of the Bank's business strategy, long-term
interests and stability, supporting proper and effective risk management and mitigation of conflicts
of interest, in particular by:
a) shaping the appropriate level of individual components of remuneration in relation to the
function performed and the scale of the Bank's operations, taking into account the
transparency of the rules for their creation,
b) making part of the remuneration of Management Board Members dependent on the Bank's
financial and business results,
c) adopting such a structure of fixed and variable remuneration components of Management
Board Members that the motivation directed at obtaining variable remuneration is not a factor
conducive to excessive risk-taking,
d) ensuring only a fixed component of remuneration for Supervisory Board Members and making
it independent of the Bank's financial and business results,
120
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
e) supporting responsible management attitudes in relation to the Bank's long-term business
objectives through a transparent process of evaluation of the Bank's Management Board
Members.
The total remuneration of the Management Board Members consists of a fixed and a variable part.
The variable part of the remuneration may be an annual bonus, which depends on the Bank's result,
the result compared to banks of similar size and the individual assessment of the Management Board
Member.
Decisions on granting bonuses to Management Board Members are made after an analysis of risk,
liquidity and capital ratios, taking into account the following financial criteria:
▪ implementation of planned budgets and indicators established for the managed area of
activity,
▪ comparison with competing banks of similar size (peer banks),
▪ the market criteria established for the period;
and non-financial criteria, in particular:
▪ the overall quality of management in the area of responsibility,
▪ effective leadership and contribution to the Bank's development,
▪ management and supervision of units in the area of responsibility.
The total value of base salaries of Management Board Members for performing this function in 2024
amounted to PLN 12,075 thousand PLN. In addition, the Management Board Members received
payment of part of the annual bonus for 2021, 2022 and 2023 (in cash and phantom shares) and
additional benefits.

Bank’s share capital and 0.0102% of the total number of votes at a General Meeting, as at 31 December
2024.
Registered founder shares are subject to disposal restrictions, i.e. their disposal subject to the

13.5. INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEM AND EXTERNAL AUDITOR
Internal Control System
The Bank’s internal control system is organised in the framework of the so-called three independent
lines of defence, which comprise:
• 1
st
line – the Bank’s operating units not belonging to the 2
nd
and 3
rd
line of defence,
• 2
nd
line – Compliance Department and units designated by the Management Board (mainly
units managing risk),
• 3
rd
line – Internal Audit Department.
The internal control system covers all organisational units of the Bank and subsidiaries belonging to
the capital group.
The main objectives of the internal control system are to ensure:
• effectiveness and efficiency of the Bank’s operations,
• credibility of financial information (including: completeness, correctness and
comprehensiveness of administrative and accounting procedures and fair and true internal
and external reporting),
• observance of risk management principles at the Bank,
• compliance of the Bank’s activity with laws, internal regulations and market standards.
Based on the developed selection criteria the Bank identified material processes, and then linked
them to the general and specific objectives of the internal control system. For material processes the
Bank selected controls (control mechanisms) functioning within such processes and selected out of
them certain controls of key importance for achieving the objectives of the internal control system
assigned to a given process. Key controls have been covered by the monitoring of their observance,
such monitoring performed independently by organisational units belonging to the 1
st
and the 2
nd
line
of defence in the internal control system.
The linking of the general objectives of internal control and specific objectives isolated as part of
them with material processes functioning at the Bank and key controls and principles of independent
monitoring of their observance is documented in the form of the Control Function Matrix. The Bank
in the Matrix also specified the responsibility of particular organizational units for employing control
mechanisms, as well as their independent monitoring.
The Bank has a formalized path of reporting about the results of monitoring controls, ascertained
irregularities and status of implementing remedial and disciplining measures. From time to time this
information is also transferred to the Internal Audit Department, the Bank’s Management Board and
Audit Committee of the Supervisory Board.
The Bank’s Management Board is responsible for the implementation and functioning of an adequate,
effective and efficient internal control system.
The Bank’s Supervisory Board exercises supervision and performs an annual assessment of adequacy
and effectiveness of internal control system (including the control function, Compliance Department,
Internal Audit Department).
Internal Audit (3rd line of defence)
The Internal Audit Department is within the internal control system a specialized unit of the 3rd line
of defence which carries out an independent review of processes and internal control in the Bank and
the capital group, verifying the implementation of tasks assigned to the 1st and 2nd line of defence.
144
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
The aim of the activities is providing the Bank's management with an assessment of the effectiveness
and adequacy of the risk management system and the internal control system, as well as adding value
and streamlining processes in the Bank and the capital group. When implementing its mission Internal
Audit takes into account the strategic objectives and tasks of the organization, as laid down by the
Management Board and Supervisory Board of the Bank. The audit process is performed according to
the Audit Charter and Internal Audit Methodology, fostering international standards of internal audit
and good banking practices.
The Internal Audit Department is an independent unit, directly reporting to the Chairman of the
Management Board of the Bank and the results of its activities are reported to the Management Board,
Audit Committee of the Supervisory Board and the Supervisory Board of the Bank.
The activity of Internal Audit is a planned and continuous activity, resulting from the implementation
of the mission and objectives, as well as the adopted Department Strategy and based on an annual
audit plan. The basis of the planning process is the assessment of the risk of particular areas and
processes of the Bank in order to identify increased risk and support the specification of priorities and
resources for the implementation of tasks. The planning process takes into account consultations with
senior management and owners of key processes. The annual audit plan is approved by the Bank’s
Supervisory Board and implemented on a quarterly basis by experienced and highly qualified
professionals.
Internal Audit performs independent and objective assurance and consulting activities. Assurance
activity is carried out as part of process audits, independent review function, branch audits,
preventive audits and investigations. Assurance activity includes assessment of the adequacy and
effectiveness of the risk management system and internal control system in all areas of banking
activity. Advisory services are aimed at supporting the organization in achieving its goals and are
provided, as far as their nature does not put under threat the independence, effectiveness and
objectivity of Internal Audit’s assurance activity, nor is related to the designing of control mechanisms
and risk management system.
In 2024 Internal Audit Department performed audit tasks in the Bank, its subsidiaries, external entities
to which the Bank, to the extent permitted by regulations, outsourced banking and bank-related
operations, as well as within the BCP Capital Group. The planned activity of the Department covered
among others audits of key business and support processes and also branch audits and those of
compliance with external regulatory requirements. The tasks performed by the Internal Audit
Department also included investigations and prevention audits.
The results of the review of the functioning of the entire internal control system as well as its selected
components, carried out by the Compliance and Internal Audit Departments in cooperation with the
External Auditor, are presented cyclically and are subject to evaluation by the Audit Committee of
the Bank's Supervisory Board and once a year to the Bank's Supervisory Board.
Internal Control System with respect to the Process of Preparing Financial Reports
Implemented solutions regarding the internal control system protect to a significant extent the Bank
from financial reporting errors and provide the Bank’s Management with information which helps
evaluate the correctness, efficiency and security of the functioning of the process of preparing
financial reports, also in order to ensure the highest possible effectiveness in managing identified
types of risks accompanying the process.
The internal control system, introduced by the Management Board of the Bank and incorporating the
financial report preparation process, has been designed to facilitate the control of process risk while
maintaining appropriate supervision over the correctness of gathering, processing and presentation
of data necessary for the preparation of financial reports in keeping with effective laws.
An important element of the internal control system in the process of preparing financial reports is
the cooperation of the Audit Committee of the Bank's Supervisory Board with an audit firm providing
financial audit services. The Bank prepared the policy of selecting an audit firm for carrying out an
audit and policy for providing by an audit firm carrying out an audit, by entities connected with such

15.1. BASIS OF PREPARATION
[BP-1] This statement has been prepared under:
• the provisions of Chapter 6c of the Accounting Act of September 29, 1994 (Journal of Laws
2023, item 120, as amended) (the “Accounting Act”),
• sustainability reporting standards as defined in Commission Delegated Regulation (EU)
2023/2772 of July 31, 2023 supplementing Directive 2013/34/EU of the European Parliament
and of the Council with regard to sustainability reporting standards (“ESRS”), including the
requirement that the process carried out to identify reported information is consistent with
its description in sustainability reporting,
• the reporting requirements contained in Article 8 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852 of the European
Parliament and of the Council of 18 June 2020 on establishing a framework to facilitate
sustainable investment, amending Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 (“Regulation (EU) 2020/852”).
The scope of companies covered by this statement does not differ from the scope of companies
covered by financial reporting and is presented in part I of the report in section 1. Brief characteristics
of Bank Millennium and the Bank Millennium Group. As is the case with the financial statements, this
statement also takes into account any and all changes in the structure of the Bank Millennium Group.
No such changes occurred in 2024. This statement does not take into account any adjustments to the
information on minority interests. The information presented herein is for the period from 1 January
2024 to 31 December 2024 unless stated otherwise. This statement also considers direct upstream
and downstream relationships within the Bank Millennium Group’s value chain in terms of material
impacts, risks and opportunities. Due to the absence of information on indirect relationships within
the value chain (such as information on our customers’ suppliers), these have not been included in our
analysis.
In formulating this statement, the option to omit specific information pertaining to intellectual
property, know-how or the outcomes of innovations has not been exercised, nor has the exemption
from the obligation to disclose information related to expected events or matters under negotiation
provided for in Article 63x(7) of the Accounting Act of 29 September 1994 been used. [BP-2] No special
circumstances have affected the scope and content hereof.
[BP-2] The timeframes adopted in this statement have been defined in accordance with European
Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS 1 section 6.4 Definition of short-, medium- and long-term
for reporting purposes), namely:
1. short-term time horizon – reporting period (1 year),
2. medium-term time horizon – up to 5 years,
3. long-term time horizon – more than 5 years.
For the purpose of preparing this report, selected metrics related to the Bank Millennium Group’s
value chain have been estimated. These metrics are described in the Environment part hereof in
section 16. Climate Change (ESRS E1), subsection 16.3 Metrics and targets.
Due to the reporting period being the first year of application of sustainability reporting standards, it
has not been possible to identify any changes in the preparation and presentation of sustainability
information compared to the previous reporting period, and no material errors have been identified
in previous periods.
Some of the disclosures have been incorporated by reference in accordance with ESRS 1 section

15.2.1. BUSINESS MODEL AND VALUE CHAIN
Business model
[SBM-1] Bank Millennium and its subsidiaries constitute the Bank Millennium. The Bank Millennium
Group offers services in the retail segment, that is to individual customers and micro-enterprises,
and, within corporate banking, to small, medium-sized and large companies. The Bank Millennium
Group successfully competes in all segments of the financial market.
The Bank and its subsidiaries operate in the Republic of Poland, treated as the Group’s area of
business, and therefore all disclosures included in this statement refer to Poland. With 6,836
152
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
employees (as at 31 December 2024), the Group operates throughout Poland and has no branches
outside of its borders. No changes occurred in the markets or customer groups served during the
reporting period.
The Bank Millennium Group achieves its economic goals while striving to balance the needs of key
stakeholders, in accordance with the Group’s growth strategy, taking into account the principles
declared in the Code of Ethics. Information on the structure of costs and revenues generated by the
Bank’s Group, along with the results posted by each segment, is provided in part I in section
8. Financial standing.
The Bank Millennium’s mission is to support its customers in the achievement of financial success now
and in the future. The Bank builds its competitive advantage on values forming the basis for running
its business.
The Bank’s business model rests on the following six pillars:
1. Superior customer service and a broad offering for the retail customer.
2. Bank of first choice for business customers (micro-enterprises).
3. Strategic development partner for corporate customers.
4. Innovative solutions with a leading User Experience in electronic channels (with a leading role
for the mobile application).
5. Sustainable organisation on the path towards climate neutrality.
6. Friendly workplace for existing employees and talent.
Details of the Bank’s business model are described in part I of this report in section 1. Brief
characteristics of Bank Millennium and the Bank Millennium Group. The information on the business
model is expanded in section 9. Description of business in part I, containing an explanation of the
customer service channels and the product offering for retail and corporate banking customers.
Value chain
A significant element of our business model is the core value chain. The Bank Millennium Group’s core
business is banking and therefore the key value chain for the Group primarily consists of the Bank’s
customers. In the course of our analyses, we have also classified into the Bank’s key value chain our
employees and business partners (franchisees).
A detailed description of our business model and value chain is provided in part I. MANAGEMENT

15.2.2. SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGY
[SBM-1] Sustainability plays a significant role in our strategy and has served as one of its pillars for
years. ESG matters were included in the Group’s Strategy for 2022-2024 entitled Millennium 2024:
People Inspire Us, and further developed and elaborated in more detail in the Bank Millennium Group
ESG Strategy for 2022-2024 adopted in 2022. Currently, they also drive the pursuit of our new Strategy
for 2025-2028 entitled Strategy 2028: Value and Growth, published in October 2024, as one of its
success factors. The Strategy addresses all major groups of our products and services, that is those
offered to both retail and corporate customers.
[SBM-1] As a socially responsible institution, we emphasise the significance not only of the
achievement of the objectives provided for in our Strategy, but also of the means by which such
achievement is materialised – with a commitment to society and the environment, in line with
stringent standards of quality and ethics in the sales process and the services offered. In our Strategy,
business objectives and ESG goals form a coherent whole. One of the most important aspects of our
efforts is the fact that we are engaged in pursuing them together as the Bank Millennium Group.
We act jointly with our stakeholders: employees, customers, business partners and shareholders.
Based on the goals set out in the Strategy, we will support our customers in the transition to a low-
carbon economy (PLN 5 billion to finance sustainable investments). We will also achieve the objectives
adopted in our Strategy by investing appropriately in our key assets: people and technology, and will
154
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
continue to build our position as the most attractive employer for top talent in our strategically vital
areas.
Our sustainability-related activities in the new Strategy 2028: Value and Growth have been
categorised into the following three areas:
• Environmental (E)
• Social (S)
• Governance (G)
In the environmental area, our objectives are:
• Moving towards ’net zero’ emissions, that is to achieve climate neutrality in scopes 1 and 2
by 2030
2
and to achieve full climate neutrality, including in scope 3, by 2050.
We will gradually reduce our carbon footprint by continuing our energy and water efficiency
initiatives across our branches, increasing the share of zero-emission vehicles in our fleet,
maintaining 100% electricity with guarantees of origin and adopting a transition plan
(including decarbonisation targets and actions) by 2026.
• Sustainable financing, that is supporting customers’ transition and growth by providing
sustainable financing – we have planned to provide PLN 5 billion in financing for
sustainability projects.
We intend to achieve this goal by providing sustainable financing to companies, raising
awareness and expertise on public programs/green projects, maintaining a policy of providing
no financing to the mining and carbon-based energy generation sectors, expanding the green
retail offering and portfolio of sustainable assets at Millennium TFI, and continuing initiatives
to raise customer awareness of sustainability.
In the social area, our objectives are:
• Top employer, that is maintaining the well-being and professional development of our
employees as well as promoting diversity, equity and inclusion across our business operations
and beyond. We will ensure that we continuously improve employee satisfaction and maintain
our Top Employer certification.
Our planned activities in this area include implementing initiatives that respond to the
outcomes of the Employee Satisfaction Survey, further developing a transparent remuneration
policy, continuing to narrow down the gender pay gap, promoting a culture of lifelong
learning, continuously improving initiatives that affect the well-being of our people, and
strengthening the culture of diversity, equity and inclusiveness (DEI) in our organisation.
• Inclusive and accessible banking that provides secure access to financial services for all
customers, embracing their diversity. We will expand our offering and, with a view to
maintaining the high quality of service accessibility, we will continue to work with external
expert institutions.
The activities we have planned in this area include the continuation of improvement in
ensuring the accessibility of services and education for customers, promotion of regular
savings and investments, deployment of dedicated solutions for young customers, and
provision of financial education to children through the Bank Millennium Foundation’s
initiatives.
• Community engagement, that is supporting local businesses by financing and providing
business tools and engaging employees in local community activities as well as promoting
cultural development.
We will pursue this objective by developing a financing program for micro and small
companies, offering educational initiatives for micro and small companies, further developing
the Bank Millennium Foundation’s employee volunteerism grant program and maintaining our
2
Emission reduction activities will continue, but offsets may be applied for the remaining emissions.
155
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
position as an ambassador of culture in Poland (including by continuing to support the
Millennium Docs Against Gravity film festival).
In the governance area, we will focus on the following objectives:
• ESG risk management, by developing a methodologies for measuring the financial effects of
ESG risks and refining ESG risk management processes with contribution to the transition plan.
We will ensure the successful completion of the European Banking Authority’s and our own
climate stress tests within specify dates as well as the deployment of a framework for
assessing anticipated financial impacts by 2025.
For the pursuit of this goal, we have scheduled specific actions: refining ESG risk assessment
and management coupled with further integration in the credit decision process, further
developing ESG risk metrics in the Risk Appetite Statement (RAS), monitoring climate risk
exposures, developing methodologies and conducting climate stress tests with scenario
analysis, and supporting the transition plan through ESG risk management.
• Maintaining best-in-class governance through the strong pillars of an organisation built on
high ethical standards and mature ESG governance to support sustainable growth and
regulatory compliance, including by timely implementation of new ESG regulations and
further enhancement of ESG reporting in keeping with evolving requirements.
We will strive to achieve this goal through implementation of new regulatory requirements,
alignment of our internal processes, ongoing review and application of existing ESG
regulations, further development of ESG data management and comprehensive ESG
awareness-building initiatives.
The pursuit of the Bank’s Strategy, including the key success factors of which sustainability is a pillar,
is subject to a continuous monitoring process under the Bank’s internal management system. Our
progress in going after the strategic ESG initiatives is monitored on an ongoing basis by the
Sustainability Committee. This process is described in more detail in section 15.3. Sustainability
management.
Our Strategy 2028: Value and Growth is available on the Bank’s website at:
https://www.bankmillennium.pl/documents/d/guest/bankmillennium_strategy2025_2028?mv=3mv.
Currently, our sustainability-related products account for less than 10% of the Bank’s revenues and
are unrelated to the Bank’s material actual impacts or material potential negative impacts. The share
of sustainable financing in the Bank’s assets, in accordance with the GAR, is specified in section
21. Disclosure of information in accordance with EU Taxonomy (Art. 8 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852).
15.3. SUSTAINABILITY MANAGEMENT
15.3.1. GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE
[GOV-1] [GOV-2]
Sustainability management
The basis for defining the approach to sustainability managing is an agenda formulated by the United
Nations that includes 17 goals, 169 targets and 304 indicators.
Bank Millennium has signed the Declaration for the UN Sustainable Development Goals in 2017 and is
guided by all 17 goals. However, the Bank focuses predominantly on the pursuit of the following goals:
3. Good health and well-being
4. Quality education
156
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
5. Gender equality
8. Decent work and economic growth
9. Industry, innovation and infrastructure
13. Climate action
17. Partnering for the goals
In Bank Millennium, actions taken with sustainability in mind form an integral part of our business
strategy. The ESG area is also included in the new Group Strategy for 2025-2028 adopted by the
Management Board and approved by the Supervisory Board. This is discussed in detail in subsection
15.2.2. Sustainability strategy.
Sustainability policies
Bank Millennium has laid down the fundamental sustainability-related principles at the level of the
whole Bank Millennium Group in the Sustainability Policy of Bank Millennium S.A. adopted by the
Bank’s Management Board, of which the following documents, published on the Bank’s website
(https://www.bankmillennium.pl/o-banku/esg#zasady-esg), form an integral part:
• Policy on sustainability principles
• Anti-corruption policy
• Social impact policy
• Human rights policy
• Diversity management policy
• Corporate volunteering policy
• Environmental policy
• Responsible financing policy
Moreover, the Bank has published the following document for suppliers on its website:
▪ Supplier Sustainability Guidelines (approved by a member of the Bank’s Management Board).
Sustainability policies integrate environmental, social and governance dimensions, including:
▪ Aligning decision-making, in all areas of the Bank Millennium Group, with the pursuit of the
United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (“UN Sustainable Development Goals”) as well
as universally applicable laws and national and international sustainability standards.
▪ Taking into account the UN Sustainable Development Goals in the development and offering
of financial products.
▪ Transparency of disclosures regarding the conduct of sustainability activities by the Bank
Millennium Group.
▪ Building awareness among employees, customers and other stakeholders of the Group in the
sustainability area.
▪ Adherence to the highest standards of operation, including the Corporate Governance
Principles for Supervised Institutions and the Best Practices for WSE Listed Companies, and
striving to continuously ensure full compliance with generally applicable laws and business
standards.
▪ Building partnerships and an ongoing commitment to working with communities – both
external and internal – in the search for opportunities to create social value by supporting
cultural, educational and financial literacy initiatives as well as employee volunteerism
activities.
Based on the UN Sustainable Development Goals, the commitments arising from the Bank’s signature
Diversity Charter, internal policies and best practices, we have made the following commitments:
157
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
▪ Integrate environmental and social risks into our customer risk assessment process and include
ESG risk factors in sector policies for corporate customers.
▪ Define a list of sectors and activities to which no financing will be provided by the Bank
Millennium Group – the Group identifies business sectors or projects the financing of which is
incompatible with the Bank Millennium Group’s commitment to protect the environment,
promote sustainability, combat climate change and preserve biodiversity. For this reason, the
Bank Millennium Group has identified sectors excluded from financing or sectors that may
receive only conditional financing (the financing of activities or projects in these sectors may
be granted only if additional conditions have been fulfilled).
▪ Finance environmentally friendly and energy-efficient projects, including projects related to
the replacement of coal-fired generation with low-carbon energy sources.
▪ Carry out activities aimed at reducing the carbon footprint.
▪ Respect for human rights – the Bank Millennium Group takes into account and promotes the
fundamental principles of human rights by applying ethical business practices towards various
stakeholder groups, including employees, customers, shareholders, suppliers and local
communities. Such practices are clearly defined in the Bank Millennium Group’s pertinent
internal regulations.
▪ Develop sustainability competencies – we offer training and initiatives for employees to grow
their sustainability competencies.
▪ Promote a culture of responsible consumption – the Bank Millennium Group has adopted, as
part of its Supplier Sustainability Guidelines, a set of requirements for suppliers where
sustainability matters are covered.
▪ Influence society – promote a culture of social responsibility, develop activities for and with
various stakeholder groups, while directly or indirectly supporting social development.
The foregoing Sustainability Policy commitments apply to all activities and business relationships
of the Bank Millennium Group.
Sustainability management [GOV-1] [GOV-2] [G1 GOV-1]
The Bank’s Management Board is responsible for the effective management of the Bank’s
sustainability area, in terms of environmental, social and governance issues, including responsibility
for developing, approving and updating the organisation’s sustainability-related goals, values,
mission, strategies, policies and targets. The Bank’s Supervisory Board oversees this process. The
governance arrangements adopted in the Bank Millennium Group do not involve assigning
responsibilities, tasks or powers in respect of one-off impacts, risks and opportunities identified in
the double materiality analysis.
The Management Board approves sustainability reporting and sustainability-related policies.
Sustainability-related policies are approved by the Management Board in accordance with the
schedule for updating such documents, but not less frequently than once every two years.
Sustainability reporting is also adopted and subsequently approved by the Supervisory Board.
Within the Management Board, the sustainability area is overseen by the President of the Management
Board, while ESG risk management is overseen by the Bank’s Management Board member responsible
for risk.
The Management Board is provided with information to control and oversee the processes aimed at
identifying and managing its economic, environmental and social impacts, including periodic reports
on the achievement of targets in all key areas of the Bank’s operations. To this end, the Management
Board’s control activities are also carried out by committees established within the Bank’s structures.
In this process, information obtained from the Bank’s stakeholders is also taken into account, such as

and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
that regarding employee matters or issues arising from complaints or customer service surveys. For
instance, the Process and Operational Risk Committee prepares reports on customer complaints and
actions taken by the Bank on issues identified in the complaint handling process and reports on the
quality of the customer service process and studies of customer needs. The Sustainability Committee
also plays a key role in this regard.
The Supervisory Board also receives, on a quarterly basis, in some instances through its committees,
information on key aspects of the Bank’s business, including aspects related to its economic,
environmental and social impacts. Moreover, a global assessment of the Bank’s activities, including
the management of economic, environmental and social issues, is performed by the Supervisory Board
based on the Bank’s annual reports. They are analysed and presented to the Shareholder Meeting and
form the basis for granting a discharge to the Bank’s Management Board on the performance of its
duties in a given financial year.
Bearing in mind the growing significance of sustainability matters for the Bank Millennium Group’s
business, the Bank has established within its structures the Sustainability Committee and the
Sustainability Department.
The Bank’s Management Board participates in the process of managing sustainability matters through
its full representation in the work of the Sustainability Committee. The Committee is composed of all
members of the Bank's Management Board, as well as representatives of the units performing tasks
related to sustainable development in the Bank and the Bank Group. The Sustainability Committee is
chaired by the President of the Management Board. The Committee meets at least quarterly.
The Committee’s scope of work includes participation in the development of proposals for the Bank’s
strategic initiatives in the area of sustainability, adoption of operational plans related to the
execution of strategic sustainability initiatives, monitoring and evaluation of the pursuit of planned
activities in terms of their completeness and quality, meeting the required deadlines and the planned
budget, approving and monitoring metrics related to strategic sustainability initiatives. Committee
meetings also discuss the most relevant ESG matters on an ongoing basis, including those related to
the management of identified material impacts, risks and opportunities.
The Sustainability Department is overseen directly by the President of the Management Board. The
purpose of the Sustainability Department is to oversee and coordinate the observance of sustainability
principles within the Bank and the Bank Millennium Group. The scope of tasks of the Sustainability
Department includes coordination of work related to the sustainability strategy, cooperation with
other units of the Bank and Group entities in the pursuit of sustainability principles, ensuring
identification of risks related to climate change in the Bank’s activities, cooperation with other units
of the Bank in the roll-out of sustainable products, conducting activities aimed at promoting
sustainability principles among the Bank’s employees.
The Risk Department is responsible for integrating ESG risks into the Bank’s risk management system.
The Risk Department’s key tasks include consideration of ESG risk within the risk appetite, analysis
of the materiality of the impact of ESG risk on the Bank’s risk profile, development of ESG risk
assessment methodologies within the framework of existing risk assessment methodologies and
processes, and monitoring the impact of ESG risk on the area of capital adequacy.
The Bank has also established a Risk Committee, which is responsible for risk control, including for
reviewing the principles, policies, rules and practices related to risk management, also by managing
ESG risks and making decisions on key elements of lending policy, including those related to ESG risks.
The Risk Committee, which comprises all members of the Management Board, prepares quarterly
summary information and materials for the Supervisory Board Risk Committee and the Supervisory
Board, addressing key issues related to the impact of risks – including ESG risks – on the Bank’s overall
risk profile. The Committee meets at least quarterly.
Moreover, sustainability activities (including the management, control and monitoring of impacts and
related activities) in the distinct areas of competence are the responsibility of other units of the Bank
and the Bank Group in accordance with their areas of responsibility, forming an integral part of the
business, with each area of business assigned to specific senior managers (that is individuals reporting
159
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
directly to the President of the Management Board or members of the Management Boards of either
the Bank or Group companies).
The Bank’s Management Board and Supervisory Board
Information on the composition of the administrative, management and supervisory bodies, their roles
and responsibilities and their access to expertise and skills, including a description of the powers of
members of the Bank’s Supervisory Board and the Bank’s Management Board relevant, among other
aspects, to the management of the company’s economic, environmental and social impact, are
described in part I of this report in sections 13.3 Supervisory Board and 13.4 Management Board as
well as on the Bank’s website:
https://www.bankmillennium.pl/o-banku/wladze-banku-i-lad-korporacyjny/zarzad
Annually, Bank Millennium conducts a comprehensive appraisal of the performance of each member
of its corporate bodies and evaluates the collective suitability of those bodies, based on the provisions
of the Banking Law, the EBA and ESMA Guidelines (EBA/GL/2021/06) on assessing the suitability
of members of the management body and persons performing key functions, the methodologies for
assessing the suitability of members of the bodies supervised by the Polish Financial Supervision
Authority and the policies in force in the Bank for selecting and appraising the suitability
of Supervisory Board members and Management Board members.
Supervisory Board
The Supervisory Board has 12 members, of which currently 3 are women and 9 are men, meaning that
the average ratio of women to men among the Supervisory Board members is 33.3%. There are
currently 5 independent members in the Supervisory Board (42%). There are no employee
representatives on the Supervisory Board. According to the Commercial Company Code and the
Banking Law, the Supervisory Board is a non-executive body (the number of its non-executive
members is 12).
In the course of the appraisal, the individual and collective competence profiles of the Supervisory
Board members were examined and it was concluded that the Supervisory Board members – both
individually and collectively – meet the expected competence requirements. In particular, the
diversity of the composition of the Supervisory Board in terms of age, gender, professional experience,
knowledge and skills and the fact that it includes both business representatives and academics reflect
due care in ensuring that the Supervisory Board’s views on the performance of the Management Board
are as diverse as possible. Among the required competencies of the Supervisory Board members, those
related to sustainability were also evaluated. The Methodology for assessing the suitability of
members of corporate bodies of supervised entities – Polish Financial Supervision Authority is applied
to evaluate such competences. Moreover, the level of competence is appraised using a scale that
takes into account factors such as knowledge, experience and practical skills in the respective area.
Seven members of the Supervisory Board, including its Chairman, are Polish citizens. Seven of the
Supervisory Board members are not related to any shareholder with at least 5% of the Bank's shares.
The Bank’s Management Board
The Bank’s Management Board consists of 7 members. There is currently no gender diversity in the
composition of the Bank’s Management Board – all members of the Management Board are men.
However, this aspect will be taken into account as one of the factors when making changes to the
composition of the Management Board. As part of the appraisal, the competence profile of the
Management Board in terms of general management, risk management, knowledge of business lines
and soft skills was evaluated. The individual profiles and the collective competence profile were
compared and it was concluded that the Management Board meets the expected competence
requirements. The composition of the Management Board fulfils the diversity criteria in terms
of professional experience, in particular in terms of experience gained in different markets (Polish
and Portuguese markets), as well as in terms of education and age, thus enabling different views to
160
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
be presented while managing the Bank. Four members of the Management Board are Polish citizens.
There is currently no gender diversity in the composition of the Management Board.
Members of the Bank’s Management Board and members of the Management Boards of Bank
Millennium Group companies undergo training, consistent with their roles, knowledge and experience.
Such training is also designed to enhance their knowledge, skills and experience in the sustainability
area.
All members of the Management Boards of Bank Millennium Group companies participated in
a comprehensive ESG training program held in 2023, the topics of which included key ESG regulations,
sustainable financing, ESG risk management, organisation of the ESG process and supervisory
requirements in this area.
In the first half of 2024, members of the Bank’s Management Board and members of the Management
Boards of Bank Millennium Group companies participated in a workshop on sustainability reporting
consistent with the CSRD and ESRS requirements, including in terms of double materiality analysis.
In the second half of 2024, they participated in a workshop on preparing a transition plan.
Information provided to administrative, management and supervisory bodies and sustainability
matters pursued by them
The Sustainability Committee is responsible for monitoring sustainability-related matters. The
Committee’s powers are described in subsection 15.3.1. Governance structure. The Sustainability
Committee meets at least quarterly.
During the Committee’s meetings, the range of issues discussed includes the progress made in
implementing the Sustainability Strategy and ongoing activities carried out by the Bank in this area.
The Bank’s Management Board, through the direct participation of all Management Board members in
the Sustainability Committee meetings, is provided with relevant information about all sustainability
matters.
In 2024, key sustainability matters were presented at the Sustainability Committee meetings. The
topics covered during the reporting period covered all relevant risks, impacts and opportunities,

161
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
In 2024, members of the Sustainability Committee and members of the Management Boards of the
Bank’s Group companies, participated in a workshop on the preparation of a double materiality
analysis. Committee members discussed the material risks, impacts and opportunities identified as
a result of the double materiality assessment process and then validated the results of the analysis.
Sustainability-related matters are also addressed at the quarterly Risk Committee meetings the
participants of which include all members of the Bank’s Management Board.
In 2024, key ESG risk management issues were presented at the Risk Committee meetings, including
the following:
• The Risk Materiality Assessment for 2023/2024 was approved, including in respect
of the impact of ESG factors.
• ESG factors were included in the taxonomy of risks.
• Changes were made to the sector policy in the micro-enterprise segment (ESG risks were
taken into account in the new lending policy and excluded sectors were defined on this basis).
• Amendments were made to the lending policy for the corporate segment (principles for
integrating ESG matters into the lending policy were defined).
The Risk Committee periodically reports to the Bank’s Management Board on key issues related to the
impact of risk – including ESG risk – on the Bank’s overall risk profile.
In January 2025, the Bank’s Management Board approved the results of the double materiality
analysis. It also actively participated in the preparation of strategic ESG initiatives in the Bank’s
Strategy for 2025-2028 and approved the Strategy. The Management Board also approved the Risk
Strategy, a component of which is a materiality analysis of risks that also takes into account the
materiality of climate-related and environmental factors.
In 2024, the Supervisory Board Audit Committee received information on sustainability, including
sustainability reporting. Furthermore, the Supervisory Board Audit Committee took note of the results
of the double materiality analysis approved by the Bank’s Management Board. While meetings are
held on a quarterly basis, the said matters related to the ESG area were discussed in Q4 2024 and in
Q1 2025.
The Supervisory Board Risk Committee recommended the Risk Strategy (including in respect of ESG
risks) for approval by the Supervisory Board and received information on risk appetite metrics,
including those related to the ESG area, on a quarterly basis. The Committee meets once every
quarter.
In 2024, the Supervisory Board participated in the oversight of the sustainability area through the
Committees mentioned above as well as by adopting the ESG Report of Bank Millennium and the Bank
Millennium Group for 2023 and approving the Bank’s Strategy 2025-2028 – Value and Growth and the
Risk Strategy for 2025-2028. On a quarterly basis, the Supervisory Board also received information on
Risk Appetite Statement (RAS) metrics, including those related to the ESG area.
15.3.2. INTEGRATION OF SUSTAINABILITY-RELATED PERFORMANCE
IN INCENTIVE SCHEMES
[GOV-3] Sustainability-related performance is taken into account by the Bank in the incentive
schemes applied as part of the Bank’s employee compensation policies. Such incentive schemes apply
to members of the Bank’s Management Board and key managers involved in the pursuit of strategic
initiatives in the ESG area.
The rules for compensating members of the highest governance bodies are set forth
in the Compensation Policy for Bank Millennium S.A. Management Board and Supervisory Board
Members. Senior management (employees identified as exerting a material impact on the Group’s
risk profile, also known as Risk Takers) are subject to the provisions of the Compensation Policy for
Risk Takers in the Bank Millennium Group. The policy aims to provide a formal framework for
162
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
determining the compensation of all the Group’s employees from the perspective of corporate
governance, institutional safety and the suitability of compensation to the Group’s standing, scale of
operation and growth potential, by defining fixed and variable compensation elements. The terms
and conditions of employee compensation, including incentive schemes, are updated and approved
by the President of the Management Board on an annual basis. In turn, the terms and conditions
of compensation payable to Management Board members are approved by the Supervisory Board
Personnel Committee.
The compensation principles put in place have been formulated in such a manner as to avoid creating
incentives that might incline people to engage in activities and take decisions that pose a threat to
the Bank’s long-term welfare and transcend the acceptable risk profile, to take actions at odds with
the best interests of the Group’s customers and investors and to introduce risks to sustainable
development in the activity of Group companies.
Such (and amendments thereto) are approved by the Bank’s Supervisory Board.
[E1 GOV-3] [GOV-3] As regards members of the Management Board and senior management, their
performance is appraised in relation to all adopted strategic sustainability objectives. For 2024, the
benchmarks were set in the form of objectives defined in the Bank Millennium Group ESG Strategy
for 2022-2024
(www.bankmillennium.pl/documents/d/guest/bankmillennium_strategy2025_2028?mv=3mv).
The aspect assessed is the degree of delay in the pursuit of the strategic initiatives implementing
specific goals. The assessment is made with reference to the adopted benchmarks (% of delays). In
2024, among the initiatives assessed in terms of the timeliness of their implementation were climate-
related issues such as the pursuit of climate neutrality, the reduction in resource consumption, and
the development of sustainability-supporting product offerings. These goals were unrelated to the
reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
Moreover, in the case of the Management Board members, the achievement of the objective
Initiatives with social impact in PLN millions is also evaluated in relation to the value threshold
adopted.
The Management Board evaluation is based on the financial and business performance of the Bank as
a whole, combined with an assessment of qualitative and quantitative indicators related to principles
and behaviours that foster prudent risk management as well as an assessment of the Bank’s risk
profile. The assessment of sustainability activities is included in the qualitative assessment process
through which the initial bonus value may be modified. For senior management, the ESG criterion
accounts for 10% of the assessment factors. Timely implementation of sustainability initiatives means
that this component of the bonus is awarded. The assessment of the progress of the initiative is
carried out by the head of the Sustainability Department.
15.3.3. SUSTAINABILITY REPORTING
[GOV-5] The principles related to the management and control of the ESG area at the level of the
whole Bank Millennium Group are governed by the document entitled ESG – Principles of Management
and Control adopted by the Management Board. The main objective of these principles is to provide
the Bank Millennium Group with a robust framework for the management and control of the ESG area
(including the management and control of ESG risks) in full compliance with legal and regulatory
requirements, applicable internal regulations and best market practices. The document also describes
the responsibility of the Sustainability Department for ESG reporting.
Bank Millennium has internal guidelines in place that govern the sustainability reporting process.
These guidelines include rules for obtaining and verifying data and preparing the report in accordance
with the applicable standards.
163
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
The Sustainability Department, as the unit responsible for the sustainability reporting process,
is responsible for:
• Coordinating data acquisition activities from other competent areas,
• Ensuring that the report complies with legal and regulatory requirements,
• Verifying the completeness and integrity of the data provided by the various substantive
units.
The sustainability reporting process is designed to be transparent and reliable. It includes the
following stages:
• Defining the content of the report,
• Acquiring data,
• Verifying data,
• Preparing the final content of the sustainability reporting,
• External validation,
• Approval by the Bank’s competent authorities.
The process of preparing sustainability reporting involves cooperation with various organisational units
of the Bank Millennium Group. All participants in the process have had the opportunity to familiarise
themselves with the new reporting requirements in accordance with the European Sustainability
Reporting Standards (ESRS) as part of the ongoing Double Materiality Analysis (DMA) process.
Identifying and managing sustainability reporting risks is an important part of responsible governance.
As part of our responsible approach to managing these risks, we regularly identify and evaluate risks
that may affect the completeness, reliability and compliance of our sustainability reporting with the
applicable regulations.
The risks identified in this regard in the Bank Millennium Group are:
• Risk of data completeness and integrity – potential omission of material information or
misrepresentation of data,
• Risk of accuracy of estimated results – potential deviations due to the methodology or
assumptions used in the estimate,
• Value chain data availability risk – limited availability or absence of data from suppliers
and/or other value chain partners,
• Timeliness risk – delays in the provision of key data that may affect the timeline for
sustainability reporting.
• Regulatory risk – non-compliance with the applicable laws or regulations.
The assessment of these risks is carried out by the Sustainability Department using an expert method
of discussing the risks during regular department meetings, prioritising them and planning actions to
address them. Due to the rapid development of sustainability reporting regulations as well as
increasing data requirements, currently all risks listed above are assessed as having equivalent
weights. For this reason, we integrate the findings from the risk assessment and internal controls with
regard to the sustainability reporting process into the relevant internal processes on an ongoing basis
by adding appropriate provisions in the relevant policies and procedures applied to the Group’s
operations.
To effectively manage these risks, we have implemented the following solutions:
• Internal regulations – we have prepared internal procedures governing the reporting process
which define the roles, responsibilities and data quality standards.
• Control activities related to data verification at the source level, checking data consistency
and compliance with regulations.
164
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
• Awareness building within the bank on reporting obligations and responsibility for the
completeness and accuracy of the reported data (meetings, workshops).
• Source documentation – all data presented in the report are appropriately documented,
enabling their verification.
• Process automation – work is underway in the Bank Millennium Group to deploy
a comprehensive data management system in order to reduce the risk of errors to
a minimum.
• Subjecting sustainability reporting to an independent assurance service.
The process of preparing sustainability reporting described above has been discussed at the meetings
of the Sustainability Committee and the Supervisory Board Audit Committee.
15.4. DOUBLE MATERIALITY ASSESSMENT
15.4.1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROCESS FOR IDENTIFYING AND ASSESSING
MATERIAL IMPACTS, RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES
[IRO-1] In accordance with the requirements of the sustainability reporting standards, serving as the
basis for determining the scope of the disclosures and the related application requirements has been
a process for identifying the impacts, risks and opportunities, and assessing which of them are
material. This process has been carried out taking into account the principle of double materiality,
that is both the environmental and social impacts of the Bank Millennium Group have been taken into
account (impacts on the external environment, also referred to as impact materiality) and the impact
of external factors: environmental, social and governance-related on the Bank Millennium Group
(impact of the environment on the Bank Millennium Group, also referred to as financial materiality).
[IRO-1] [BP-1] In both identifying and assessing materiality, we have taken into account the impacts
arising from our own operations and business relationships in the value chain. The starting point of
the process has been an understanding of the Group’s own operations, business model, products,
services and data management and a mapping of the whole value chain (upstream and downstream),
as part of which we have identified the issues to be further analysed for materiality.
The Group’s core business is banking and, as such, a crucial area of our value chain to be analysed
has been the loan portfolio by business segment (retail and corporate), including in the context of
financed sectors. Due to the business carried out by the Bank Millennium Group (financial/service
activities) in the area of resource dependency, we have primarily identified dependency on human
resources. The assessment of financial materiality has been carried out from the perspective of those
users of the Bank Millennium Group’s financial statements who make decisions (if need be) taking into
account all available information, including in the area of sustainability. Accordingly, and any such
information is omitted or distorted, this may affect the user’s decision. This is the case for risks and
opportunities causing or likely to cause significant financial impacts for the Group in the future.
[IRO-1] The outcomes of the double materiality assessment have been subjected to input from all
stakeholders (interested parties) of the Bank Millennium Group, identified in the course of the
analyses and appropriately involved in the process of identifying and assessing specific impacts, risks
and opportunities. Stakeholder engagement has been driven by a desire to understand how the Group
affects the stakeholders. The main forms of stakeholder engagement have been surveys, workshop
sessions and, in the case of the environment, desktop studies, that is analyses of selected studies and
reports made available by organisations representing environmental interests, such as WWF Poland
and Climate Strategies Poland. A survey of stakeholders’ interests and views on ESG matters identified
in the ESRS was conducted in December 2023. The survey covered all employees of the Bank
Millennium Group and selected external stakeholders (specifically, customers and business partners).
Additional surveys were conducted in June 2024 and targeted our key business partners: mortgage
brokers and franchisees. The results of the double materiality assessment were also determined by
165
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
the responses given by employees in the Bank's satisfaction survey. The Voice of Customer (VOC)
complaint root cause elimination program has also been analysed for ESG matters raised by customers
requiring action on the Bank’s part. Internal dialogue sessions were also held in June 2024 with
representatives of selected Bank departments and subsidiaries in order to identify the value chain
and plan stakeholder engagement, among other issues. The information collected from stakeholders
has been used to complete the list of actual and potential impacts and has been taken into account
in the final assessment of the identified impacts concerning the respective stakeholder group.
The Sustainability Department was responsible for conducting the double materiality assessment. The
identified impacts, risks and opportunities as well as the proposals for their assessment have been
subject to verification with internal documentation and confirmation with the responsible units,
primarily the Risk Department and the Compliance Department. The outcomes of the double
materiality analysis have been subject to approval by the Sustainability Committee and by the Bank’s
Management Board and subsequently presented to the Bank’s Audit Committee.
For the purpose of ensuring appropriate knowledge of sustainability reporting requirements, training
sessions and workshops have been held with management and staff involved in the double materiality
analysis process, including representatives of Bank Millennium Group subsidiaries.
[IRO-1] [BP-1] For the identification of impacts, risks and opportunities, we have resorted to multiple
sources of information, including reputable external sources, such as the UNEP FI Portfolio Impact
Analysis Tool for Banks and the SASB Materiality Finder tool. In particular, these tools have been used
to identify impacts in relation to the Group’s core business, that is the Group’s loan portfolio.
[E1 IRO-1] Information regarding identified climate-related impacts, risks and opportunities can be
found in section 15.4.3. Identified impacts, risks and opportunities, in the part: Climate related
impacts, risks and opportunities – identification and assessment.
[E2 IRO-1] Actual and potential impacts, risks and opportunities related to pollution of air, water and
soil (excluding greenhouse gas emissions and waste), microplastics and substances of concern, as well
as dependence on ecosystem services within the Millennium Bank Group's own operations and
upstream and downstream value chain were identified using the UNEP FI Portfolio Impact Analysis
Tool and SASB Materiality Finder. The Bank did not consult on pollution, as no significant
concentration of the Group's operations and its value chain in the sectors identified by the
aforementioned sources as having a significant impact on pollution was identified. Nor were the local
communities affected by such activities identified.
[E3 IRO-1] Actual and potential impacts, risks and opportunities related to water and marine
resources within the Millennium Bank Group's own operations and upstream and downstream value
chain were identified using the UNEP FI Portfolio Impact Analysis Tool and SASB Materiality Finder.
The Bank did not consult on water and marine resources, as no significant concentration of the Group's
operations and value chain was identified in the sectors identified by the aforementioned sources as
having a significant impact on water and marine resources. Nor have local communities been
identified as being affected by such activities.
[E4 IRO-1] Actual and potential impacts, risks and opportunities related to biodiversity and
ecosystems within the Millennium Bank Group's own operations and upstream and downstream value
chain were identified using the UNEP FI Portfolio Impact Analysis Tool and SASB Materiality Finder.
Direct impact factors on biodiversity loss, impacts on the status of species, and impacts on the extent
and condition of ecosystems were analysed. The Bank did not consult on biodiversity and ecosystems,
as no significant concentration of the Group's operations and value chain was identified in the sectors
identified by the aforementioned sources as having a significant impact on biodiversity and
ecosystems. Nor were the local communities affected by such activities identified.
The Bank has not identified and assessed dependencies on biodiversity and ecosystems and related
services in its own upstream and downstream locations and value chain, nor has it considered systemic
166
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
risk and conducted scenario analyses. The Bank assesses the scope and level of detail of the analyses
carried out as tailored to its operations across the value chain.
The Bank has no locations in or near biodiversity-sensitive areas. No need to implement biodiversity
loss mitigation measures, such as those set forth in:
• Directive 2009/147/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the conservation of
wild birds;
• Council Directive 92/43/EEC on the conservation of natural habitats and wild fauna and flora;
• Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) as defined in Article 1(2)(g) of Directive 2011/92/EU
of the European Parliament and of the Council (76) on the assessment of the effects of certain
public and private projects on the environment.
[E5 IRO-1] Actual and potential impacts, risks and opportunities related to resource use (input and
output resources) and the circular economy (waste management, including hazardous waste and non-
hazardous waste) within the Millennium Bank Group's own operations and upstream and downstream
value chain were identified using the UNEP FI Portfolio Impact Analysis Tool and SASB Materiality
Finder. The Bank did not consult on resource use and the circular economy, as no significant
concentration of the Group's operations and its value chain were identified in the sectors identified
by the aforementioned sources as having a significant impact on resources and the circular economy.
Nor were the local communities affected by such activities identified.
[G1 IRO-1] The process of identifying material impacts, risks and opportunities in the area of
corporate governance was conducted in accordance with the methodology adopted by the Bank and
described in Section 15.4. The criteria used in the process took into account the specifics of the Bank's
banking and leasing activities in Poland, including the Group's applicable laws and regulations, as well
as the significant impacts, risks and opportunities previously identified by the Group or its parent
company.
[IRO-1] The double materiality assessment process was conducted in 2024 for the first time. The
double materiality analysis carried out in accordance with the ESRS is subject to approval by the
Management Board each time new, previously unidentified impacts, risks and opportunities are
identified or their assessment changes. Such situations may arise from significant changes in the
Group’s business activities or significant external factors. When events are identified that may change
the outcomes of the double materiality analysis, and at least annually regardless of the occurrence
of such events, the double materiality analysis gets reviewed.
15.4.2. KEY STAKEHOLDERS
Key stakeholders
Engagement with interested parties (stakeholders) affected by the entity plays a fundamental role in
the ongoing due diligence process carried out by the entity. Stakeholders are parties that may affect
or be affected by the Bank Millennium Group’s actions. Stakeholders are broken down into two the
following main groups:
(a) stakeholders affected by the Bank Millennium Group: individuals or groups whose interests
are or may be affected, positively or negatively, by our activities and the Group’s direct and
indirect business relationships across the value chain, and
(b) users of sustainability statements: primary users of financial reporting for general purposes
(existing and potential investors, lenders and other creditors, including asset managers, credit
institutions, insurance companies) as well as other users of sustainability statements,
including our business partners, trade unions and social partners, civil society, NGOs,
governments, analysts and academics.
167
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
[SBM-2] The Bank Millennium Group conducts its business taking into account the views, interests and
rights of the key stakeholders it impacts, which include:
1. Employees and the trade unions that represent them,
2. Key business partners (franchisees, brokers, product and service providers),
3. Our customers (corporate and retail),
4. Investors holding more than 5% of Bank Millennium shares, including our major shareholder
Banco Comercial Português (BCP),
5. Natural environment (also referred to as a silent stakeholder represented by environmental
organisations).
The identification of our material stakeholders has been carried out in the course of a double
materiality analysis taking into account the analysis of the Bank Millennium Group’s operational
activities and based on interviews with employees.
Employees of the Bank Millennium Group
[SBM-2] A significant pillar of our business model is creating a welcoming workplace for existing
employees and talent. We see employee engagement and satisfaction as key prerequisites for
achieving the goals we set and the success we achieve as well as for the long-term development of
our organisation. We conduct annual satisfaction surveys of our employees. Their outcomes are
meticulously examined in order to make necessary changes to the relevant processes. Employees may
also report irregularities through dedicated online channels and an email address. They may share
their comments and opinions via the Viva Engage social network and the Millennium World corporate
intranet. Additionally, under the agreements in place, the Bank and the trade unions agree on internal
regulations relevant to employees, such as compensation regulations, bonus regulations, remote work
regulations and the social fund spending plan. The Bank also consults with the trade unions on case-
by-case employee issues.
These communication channels enable us to obtain information from all employees – our own
personnel (head office and own branches) and those working in the value chain (employees of
franchise branches). Any information so obtained regarding interests, views and rights is then
thoroughly analysed and used to make adjustments to our business model and strategy.
Our customers
[SBM-2] Bearing in mind our business model in which we focus on a tailored offering to our customers
and the highest quality of customer service, the identification of customer needs is an ongoing, initial
element of every project. Research is carried out on samples of retail, corporate and micro (small
business) customers. In 2024, Bank Millennium conducted quantitative and qualitative research in the
area of market trends and specific assumptions in the area of products and service quality. This
information is supplemented by projects using the Service Design methodology, in which a full
understanding of customer needs plays a key role. The results of the research are presented to the
relevant business units as well as at a special meeting – the CX Forum, which is held every two weeks
with selected members of the Management Board. The purpose of these meetings is to show current
information on how the Bank’s customers evaluate products and services as well as to make decisions
on how to improve the customer experience. Customer research is used both to improve the quality
of service and to develop the product offering. Such an approach allows us verify and then modify a
process, product, communication or customer service model. Regularly performing this research
makes it possible to maintain the quality of service at the highest possible level in every service
channel and observe trends on the financial services market. In order to continuously improve the
product offering and the quality of customer service, the Bank also analyses customer requests and
complaints; details related to this form of cooperation with customers is presented in sections 19.2.
General customer engagement processes and 19.9. Remediation of negative impacts.

The analyses also take into account key business partners, which include franchisees, brokers, product
and service providers. Franchisees, as an important distribution channel for banking services,
constitute the group of business partners most significantly affected by the Group and are described
in detail in the section about employees in the value chain.
In the group of investors holding more than 5% of Bank Millennium’s shares, the stakeholder
engagement process has taken into account the interests and opinions of the Bank Millennium Group’s
main shareholder, BCP, through direct communication with its representatives, OFE PZU Złota Jesień
through the analysis of the Sustainable Investment Policy of PZU SA and PZU Życie SA (2024), Allianz
Polska OFE through the analysis of the Sustainability Report 2023 and Nationale-Nederlanden OFE
through the analysis of the NN Responsible Investment Framework Policy (2024).
The natural environment has been identified as a stakeholder affected by environmental impacts.
NGOs and research and scientific institutions speak on behalf of the environment. Among the reports
taken into account have been the following: Zero Emission Poland 2050 – WWF (2020) and Reporting
alone will not protect the climate. Decarbonising your business – climate competitiveness 2.0 –
Climate Strategies Poland Foundation (2024).
Stakeholder engagement in the double materiality assessment process
[SBM-2] The key stakeholders we impact through our operations have also been involved in the process
of identifying impacts, risks and opportunities and assessing their materiality. The process serves as
a basis for identifying the scope of this statement. Through participation in surveys and workshop
meetings, stakeholders have been given the opportunity to provide their views on topics of importance
to them, related to the Millennium Group’s activities. As regards the specific stakeholder in the form
of the natural environment, which we impact through our value chain, we have used the opinions and
studies of selected organisations representing environmental interests in our analyses.
Engagement of Bank Millennium Group corporate bodies in dialogue with stakeholders
The opinions of the stakeholders we impact are analysed in depth and communicated at all levels of
management in the Bank. The outcomes of customer needs surveys are discussed twice a month at
the CX Forum – a meeting organised with selected Board Members and representatives of pertinent
business units. In terms of other forms of communication with stakeholders and gathering information
on stakeholder opinions, dedicated workshop meetings are organised with representatives of relevant
areas. Sustainability matters are given special attention by the Sustainability Committee at its regular
meetings. The extent of involvement of the Management Board, the Supervisory Board Audit
Committee and the Sustainability Committee in the double materiality analysis process carried out in
the preparation of this statement (including: communicating the views and interests of the Bank’s
affected stakeholders) is described in section 15.4.3. Identified impacts, risks and opportunities.
15.4.3. IDENTIFIED IMPACTS, RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES
[SBM-3] As part of the double materiality analysis on the basis of which the list of issues considered
in this sustainability statement has been determined, we have examined the impacts, risks and
opportunities in all areas of sustainability: environmental, social and governance, and we have
evaluated them in terms of materiality across the Bank Millennium Group’s value chain.
As a result of our analysis, we have identified the following material impacts and risks within the
sustainability themes covered by the ESRS. We have not identified any material opportunities.

Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
[SBM-3] In light of the limited availability of data and quantitative applicable criteria, the assessment
of the current financial effects from material risks and opportunities in 2024 has been carried out in
an expert-like manner, based on qualitative criteria.
Corporate and retail customer financing provided in the form of loans, advances or leases forms the
basis of our business model. This business is primarily funded through deposits from customers
accepted by Bank Millennium. As such, the Bank recognises that to understand the resilience of the
Bank’s business model to climate risk it is critical to determine the materiality of the impact of
climate risk on the Bank’s credit and liquidity risk profile.
In 2024, the Bank Millennium Group conducted a comprehensive materiality assessment of the impact
of climate and environmental risks on the Bank’s traditional risks, that is credit, operational, market,
liquidity, strategic, reputational and economic risks. The conclusions of this assessment will be used
as a background to a full-scale resilience analysis which will be the part of the Transition Plan.
The impact of climate risk on credit risk:
The materiality assessment covered the following portfolios:
Portfolio of financing provided to companies (corporations and small business):
● Transition risk assessment: As part of the materiality assessment, the Bank has conducted a
review of its portfolio in terms of emission intensity. This analysis has demonstrated that the
Bank has a low exposure to industries exposed to medium or high transition risk
(approximately 5% of the Bank’s total loan portfolio). The Bank Millennium Group refrains
from financing new coal mines and coal-fired power generation projects, except for new
projects related to pollution reduction. New financing in the energy sector is only possible if
it serves the commitment to non-carbon based energy sources and the energy transition to
non-carbon based energy sources. Actions in this area reflect the stated strategy to integrate
climate risk into the Bank Millennium Group’s risk management policies as well as to promote
innovation and the transition to a low-carbon economy.
● Physical risk assessment: the Bank has no concentration of exposures in sectors typically
characterised by higher exposure to physical risks related to climate change (such as
agriculture). In addition, based on its analysis of climate risk maps for Poland (Klimada 2.0
database), the Bank concludes that it has a negligible volume of exposures in regions with
elevated physical risk (about 1% of the Bank's total credit portfolio).
Portfolio of consumer mortgage loans:
● Transition risk assessment: based on its estimates, the Bank currently has a marginal
exposure to loans financing properties that fall into the two lowest/worst energy efficiency
classes. The Bank monitors on an ongoing basis legislative changes regarding the introduction
of criteria for specific classes of energy efficiency in Poland and the development of the
regulatory environment in terms of possible restrictions on the possibility of selling/renting
energy inefficient properties.
● Physical risk assessment: the Bank’s portfolio is dispersed and geographically diversified
across Poland. The Bank does not have a concentration of financed properties in areas with
higher physical risk. Geographic diversity provides greater resilience to physical risks
associated with climate change, such as flooding or inundations. The regulations implemented
by the Bank are designed to minimize the Bank's exposure to potential damage and loss, while
enhancing operational and financial stability.
174
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
Portfolio of (unsecured) consumer loans extended to consumers:
● Transition risk assessment: as estimated by the Bank, it does not identify in its portfolio a
concentration of exposures related to sectors significantly exposed to transition risk.
● Physical risk assessment: the Bank’s portfolio is dispersed and geographically diversified
across Poland, and as a result there is no concentration of financing for consumers residing in
regions with higher physical risk.
The impact of climate risk on liquidity risk:
● Transition risk assessment: the Bank has implemented and applies concentration limits on
deposits accepted from individual businesses as part of its risk management strategy, thereby
minimising the potential risk of over-reliance on financing from single large depositors,
thereby enhancing the Bank’s financial stability. As part of its analysis of the materiality of
transition risk in liquidity risk, the Bank has reviewed the twenty largest corporate depositors
– none of the companies operate within emission intensive sectors and therefore higher
exposure to transition risk.
● Physical risk assessment: The dispersed geographical distribution of depositors across Poland
(both corporates and consumers, whose deposits account for the majority of the Bank’s
financing) means lack of concentration in locations with higher physical risk. The Bank does
not currently identify a material risk of deterioration in the Bank's liquidity due to physical
risk.
The Bank intends to implement a methodology and process for conducting climate stress tests, which
will provide a complementary and more sophisticated quantitative approach to assessing the
resilience of the Bank’s business model to climate change under pre-set climate change scenarios and
time horizons.
Assessment of social and governance impacts and risks:
The Bank believes that its strategy and business model are resilient to negative impacts. Details of
the measures building our resilience are described in the sections below:
• 17.6 Health and safety of employees
• 19.4 Safety of deposited funds
• 19.5 Privacy
• 19.6 Access to (high-quality) information
The Group, in the first year of preparation of the statement, uses the exemption provided by Appendix
C of ESRS 1 and does not present disclosures on the anticipated financial effects from material physical
and transition risks and potential climate-related opportunities (ESRS disclosure requirement E1-9).
Due to the first year of preparing the statement in accordance with the applicable European
Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), the Group does not disclose an indicator on the change in
material impacts, risks and opportunities compared to the previous reporting period.
Materiality of impact
[IRO-1] The identified impacts have been classified by their nature, as positive or negative, and type,
as actual or potential. Following our internal methodology for assessing the materiality of impacts,
based on the European Sustainability Reporting Standards, we then assessed each identified impact
against a set of qualitative criteria. The assessment was based on expert judgement and included
components such as the scale of the impact and its scope, the likelihood for potential impacts, and
irremediability . A summary of the assessment components used is presented below:

The assessment is based on a 5-point scale in which the maximum number of points corresponds to
the greatest strength of impact. The criteria adopted for awarding the sub-assessments are based on
the following assumptions:
● the scale for environmental impacts reflects the degree of exposure of the environment,
people and organisms (from imperceptible to catastrophic/very positive), while for social
impacts and internal governance, the degree of impact on human health or quality of life or
internal governance;
● the scope of environmental impacts is linked to the size of the geographical area (global or
local impact) and, for social impacts and internal governance, to the size of the affected
population (number of social groups affected and percentage of the population within these
groups);
● the irremediability of the negative impact, that is the lack of possibility of restoring the
baseline given the necessary efforts, resources and time horizon;
● the likelihood of potential environmental, social and internal governance impacts.
Particular attention has also been paid to verifying whether the impact assessed is related to human
rights. Where a potential negative impact on human rights has been identified, an assessment of the
severity of the impact takes precedence over its likelihood.
In order to determine which impacts are material to the Bank Millennium Group’s operations, based
on the rating scale adopted, we have selected a cut-off point below which we considered our impacts
to be immaterial. This threshold was set based on expert judgement so that the percentage of
material impacts among all identified impacts would allow for transparency and relevance of
disclosures to the audience.
The process of identifying, assessing, prioritising and monitoring the potential and actual impacts of
the Bank Millennium Group on people and the environment has been carried out based on the due
diligence process set out in the international instruments of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and
Human Rights and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises.
Financial materiality
As part of the financial materiality assessment process, we have analysed the Bank Millennium Group’s
dependencies on natural, human and social resources, which may act both a source of financial risks
or opportunities. The analysis has covered both:
• matters under our control (in line with the adopted consolidation), related to our own
operations and arising mainly from the identified impacts and the Strategy of the Bank
Millennium Group,
• matters arising from our business relationships.
176
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
The starting point of the assessment is a list of identified environmental and social impacts of the
Bank Millennium Group, which we have analysed for possible links and dependencies with the risks
and opportunities that may arise from these impacts.
The assessment of financial materiality includes a scale of financial impacts and probability (from
1 to 5, similarly to impacts), where the maximum number of points corresponds to the highest scale
and the highest probability of occurrence. The sub-assessments of risks and opportunities in 2024 have
been based on qualitative criteria, due to the limited availability of quantitative criteria that might
be applied. From a financial perspective, we have considered sustainability matters that cause, or
may reasonably be expected to cause material financial effects due to their influence on our Group’s
development, financial position, financial performance, cash flows, access to finance or cost of
capital in the short, medium or long term. As with the impact assessment, in order to identify risks
and opportunities that are material to the operations of the Bank Millennium Group, we have set
a quantitative cut-off point below which we consider a risk or opportunity to be immaterial. The
threshold has been determined based on expert judgement with a view to maintaining transparency
and relevance of disclosures to the audience.
An important role in the materiality assessment process has been played by the Bank Millennium Risk
Department, which is responsible for managing the traditional risks identified in the operations of the
Bank Millennium Group, that is credit, concentration, market, liquidity, operational (including
reputational) and strategic risks. In accordance with supervisory guidelines, environmental and social
issues are taken into account as factors affecting the level of traditional risk categories. For this
purpose, the Risk Department has established a process for periodically assessing the materiality of
the impact of environmental and social risk factors and has developed a methodology for climate and
environmental risk materiality assessment. For material climate and environmental risks Bank
Millennium identifies their transmission channels to traditional banking risks. At present, the Bank
considers that the implementation of detailed solutions to identify, measure, control and report ESG
risks is relevant for credit and liquidity risk. The Bank has also started developing climate scenario
analysis and coordinating this analysis with the overall internal stress testing framework.
The Bank Millennium Group also recognises business potential related to sustainability, primarily
related to financing the transition to a low-carbon and climate-resilient economy, as outlined in
section 16. Climate change (ESRS E1) of this statement.
Climate-related impacts, risks and opportunities – identification and assessment
[E1 IRO-1] The Bank has identified and assessed climate-related impacts, risks and opportunities in
accordance with the adopted methodology outlined above and taking into account the current level
of greenhouse gas emissions from our own operations (scope 1 and 2) and value chain (scope 3), with
a particular focus on our loan portfolio and lease activities. Information on GHG emissions for all
relevant scopes and categories is presented in sections 16.3.1 Climate-related targets and
16.3.3. Gross Scopes 1, 2, 3 and Total GHG emissions. We have also included in the analysis planned
activities – both those that may act as a source of new GHG emissions and those related to their
reduction for the planned achievement of climate neutrality from all Group operations (Scopes 1-3)
by 2050, a list of which will be expanded as a result of the development of the Transition Plan.
Potential future greenhouse gas emissions in the Bank Millennium Group will come from new financing.
Physical risk
Climate-related physical risks result from climate change, can be event-driven (acute) or from longer-
term shifts (chronic) in climate patterns.
Acute physical risks arise from particular hazards, especially weather-related events such as storms,
floods, fires or heatwaves. Chronic physical risks arise from longer-term changes in the climate, such
as temperature changes, and their effects on rising sea levels, reduced water availability, biodiversity
loss and changes in land and soil productivity.
177
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
Bearing in mind that the Group’s financial activities relate to Poland, from the broad list of physical
risk factors defined in the EU Taxonomy (in Appendix A of the Delegated Climate Regulation, which
defines the technical criteria for considering an activity as environmentally sustainable), we have
selected for analysis the physical risk factors relevant to the geographical scope of our financial
activities based on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) study, in the short, medium
and long term. The factors relevant to the region in which we conduct our financial activities are:
• floods / inundations,
• droughts / water stress,
• heat waves.
The Group’s assets and business activities exposed to physical risks include the loan portfolio to the
extent that it finances physical assets. Due to the nature of the Bank Millennium Group’s business,
which covers the whole country and a broad cross-section of business sectors, the analysis of climate
risk has been performed on a geographical basis for physical risk (at postal code level) and at PKD
code level of the main corporate customer business.
For the identification and assessment of physical risks, the climate scenarios defined in the most
recent IPCC report (the latest version of the report from March 2023) have been used:
• RCP 8.5 (SSP5-8.5) – the scenario assumes very high greenhouse gas emissions and an increase
in the Earth’s average temperature by more than 4°C relative to the pre-industrial era,
leading to increased materialisation of physical climate risks.
• RCP 4.5 (SSP2-4.5) – the scenario assumes a relatively ambitious reduction in greenhouse gas
emissions with an initial small increase until around 2040, followed by a 50% reduction in
global emissions by 2080. This scenario is broadly consistent with the GHG emissions profile
that will result from the implementation of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals and will
keep temperature increases below 3°C relative to the pre-industrial era (but will not meet
the 2°C cap agreed under the Paris Agreement).
The above scenarios refer to the following time horizons:
1. short and medium term – 2021-2030 horizon,
2. long-term – 2041-2050 horizon.
We have not identified any material physical risks in relation to our own operations or within our
value chain, particularly at downstream, covering our business and retail customers (mortgage and
consumer loans).
For the 2024 financial reporting, quantitative data calculated or estimated using climate scenarios
have not been used. The analyses for 2024 are qualitative in nature.
Transition risk
Transition risks arise from the transition to a low-carbon and climate-resilient economy. They typically include policy risks,
legal risks, technology risks, market risk sand reputational risks. For the Bank Millennium Group, we have recognised
the following factors/events related to the downstream value chain (loan portfolio) and own operations – assessed in the short,
medium and long term:

Climate-related transition events
Political and legal
Introducing regulations on:
• reducing greenhouse gas emissions, mandatory purchase
of greenhouse gas emission allowances,
• carbon footprint tax mechanisms, banning the production
of certain goods (e.g., combustion cars).
Technological
• Technological changes related to energy efficiency, low-carbon
transportation and increasing use of non-fossil fuels or other
technologies,
• Existing business models of companies may rely on technologies
that may be replaced or on the use of energy sources that may
become more expensive as a result of policy actions (whether
through higher efficiency standards or the introduction of
carbon taxes).
Market-based
• Investor preferences and changing expectations with regard to
climate change, which require climate risk issues to be taken
into account,
• Consumer preferences changing towards more climate-friendly
consumption. For this reason, retail customers may expect their
savings or investments to go toward climate-friendly causes.
Increased awareness and clear demand for climate-friendly
financial products and investments provide a potential
incentive for companies and banks to adjust their business
strategies, regardless of potential regulatory or supervisory
approaches.
Reputation-related
Unfavourable perception of financing for energy-intensive or
carbon-intensive (CO
2
) sectors.
The analysis carried out considers the climate scenarios developed by The Network for Greening the
Financial System (NGFS):
• Net Zero 2050 – the scenario assumes curbing the increase in the Earth’s average temperature
to 1.5°C relative to the pre-industrial era by strengthening policies and introducing
innovations to achieve net zero CO
2
emissions in 2050. The scenario assumes that climate
policies will be swiftly implemented and there will be rapid technological change to support
the transition.
• Current Policies – the most pessimistic climate scenario assuming a continuation of the current
rate of growth of greenhouse gas emissions (“business as usual”) and an increase in the Earth’s
average temperature by 2.9°C relative to the pre-industrial era, leading to an increased
materialisation of physical climate risks. The scenario assumes that only current climate
policies will be implemented (climate policy ambitions will not be increased) and that
technological change to support the transition will take place slowly.
• Delayed transition – the scenario assumes that global annual emissions will not decrease until
2030 due as no new climate policies will be introduced until that year. It is therefore only
after 2030 that a reduction in temperature increase below 2°C relative to the pre-industrial
era may be expected. The scenario assumes that climate policies will be implemented with
a delay, while technological changes supporting the transition will occur at a varying pace,
depending on the region.
179
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
The above transition risk scenarios refer to the following time horizons and their endpoints:
1. short-term – reporting period (1 year) – 2025.
2. medium-term – up to 5 years – 2030
3. long-term – more than 5 years – 2040.
The findings from the transition risk assessment have been used in our double materiality analysis. As
material transition risks we assessed the impact of the transition to a climate-neutral economy on
customers in the corporate portfolio (including SMEs) from energy-intensive or carbon-intensive
sectors, including:
• insolvency risk – increased risk of insolvency if changes in regulation, the market or customer
preferences affect the ability to and/or way of conducting business,
• collateral risk – collateral may be devalued if it is linked to industries susceptible to transition
risk,
• liquidity risk – sudden changes in legislation or the market may lead to increased liquidity
needs and the ability to meet debt obligations.
Scale of financial impact: Sectors with high exposure to transition risk (such as energy production,
automotive, land and air transport, cement, lime and gypsum production, metal production, rubber
and plastic products and chemicals) account for around 24% of our corporate portfolio. According to
estimates by the European Central Bank (2023), the transition to climate neutrality will reduce the
profitability of EU companies by an average of 2 to 3 percentage points, and double that for energy-
intensive sectors. Debt will also go up (with a leverage ratio increased by 3-4 percentage points, with
up to 3 to 4 times more for energy-intensive sectors). The Bank Millennium Group is not significantly
exposed to oil and gas mining, service activities supporting this sector or to the production and
processing of oil and gas mining products. Financing for these activities represents 0.2% of the
corporate portfolio and less than 0.1% of the total portfolio.
Likelihood: Energy-intensive and CO
2
e-intensive sectors are facing tighter regulations to reduce
carbon emissions. It is assumed that regulations will become more stringent over time to meet EU and
Polish decarbonisation targets. Most targets are set for 2030 and 2040. We estimate that these risks
may materialise in the medium to long term.
Time horizon: Medium and long-term horizon.
• The risk of having to reduce the customer base and, as a consequence, a decline in
profitability resulting from the withdrawal of financing from customers in carbon-intensive
sectors.
Scale of financial impact: The Bank Millennium Group’s exposure to corporate customers operating in
the coal and mining sectors is already very low, and the Bank Millennium Group has implemented
a strict policy on new financing for these sectors. This notwithstanding, the expected increase in
materiality of the impact of transition risk factors may potentially result in the need to reduce
financing for customers failing to take transition actions, especially in high-emission sectors (mainly
power generation, CRE, cement, steel and aluminium, transport, manufacturing), which may affect
the revenues and consequently the profitability of the Bank Millennium Group.
Likelihood: Increasing pressure from the Bank Millennium Group’s stakeholders and the adoption of
the Transition Plan including reduction targets for financed emissions, might reduce some revenues
in the absence of appropriate actions to transform the financing offer. We estimate that this risk may
only materialise in the long term.
Time horizon: Medium and long-term horizon.

Climate-related changes may also bring business potential, especially in the context of developing
a portfolio of financial assets that support the green transition of the economy and sustainable
development. In our double materiality analysis, we have not identified any material climate change-
related opportunities for our business (above the adopted materiality threshold).
The Group is in the process of identifying assets where the transition to a climate-neutral economy
has not been taken into account or where significant efforts are required to take this into account
(for example, due to significant locked-in greenhouse gas emissions or failure to meet Taxonomy-
aligned compliance requirements under Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2139).
15.4.4. LIST OF REQUIREMENTS
[IRO-2] For a list of disclosure requirements fulfilled in the preparation of the sustainability statement
following a materiality assessment, see section 22. Attachments.
A list of the data points contained in the cross-cutting standards and thematic standards that derive
from other EU legislation is presented in section 22. Attachments.
The starting point for determining the scope of information disclosed within the sustainability
statement is the assessment of impact materiality and financial materiality. Sustainability matters
are considered “material” if they meet the double materiality principle, that is the criteria defined
for either impact materiality or financial materiality, or both. Irrespective of the outcome of the
materiality assessment, the scope of the statement also includes all the information and data points
required under ESRS 2 General disclosures and as set out in the thematic ESRSs related to the
disclosure requirement IRO-1 Description of the process to identify and assess material impacts, risks
and opportunities (including in their data points).
For the purpose of determining which detailed data points require disclosure, the Sustainability
Reporting Standards and EFRAG Implementation Guidance 3: Detailed ESRS Datapoints have been
relied upon.
In addition to the application of the disclosure requirements defined for the environmental, social
and governance areas for disclosures related to impacts, risks and opportunities specific to the Bank
Millennium Group, guidance has been applied for disclosures not covered or insufficiently detailed by
the ESRS standards.
Due to the qualitative nature of the disclosures, no materiality threshold has been applied at the
stage of selecting material information requiring disclosure in relation to impacts, risks and
opportunities considered material by the Bank during the double materiality analysis. The exception
is the estimation of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions, as detailed in section 16.3.3.
Gross Scopes 1, 2, 3 and Total GHG emissions.

16. CLIMATE CHANGE (ESRS E1)
In this chapter, the Bank Millennium Group discloses information about the sub-topic “Climate Change
Mitigation”, which was identified during the double materiality analysis. The other sub-topics of the
environmental area have not been assessed as material.
[E1 GOV-3] Disclosure regarding Integration of sustainability-related performance in incentive
schemes. is described in chapter 15.3.2 Integration of sustainability-related performance in incentive
schemes.
16.1. STRATEGY
[E1 SBM-3] The sub-topic “Climate change mitigation” is recognized as material based on an
assessment of identified impacts, risks and opportunities, the following of which are considered to be
material:
1. Risk associated with the portfolio of corporate loans resulting from financing customers from
high-emission sectors and related to potential objectives for reducing emissions in Scope 3,
category 15 – climate-related transition risk;
2. Risk associated with corporate customers’ transition towards low-carbon economy – climate-
related transition risk.
In Q4 2024, the Bank Millennium Group, with regard to the key element of the value chain, which is
the credit portfolio, conducted a comprehensive analysis, as required by prudential regulations, of
materiality of the impact of climate risk on traditional banking risks, i.e. credit, operational, market,
liquidity, strategic, reputational and economic risks. The analysis did not cover own operations and
other elements of the value chain than the credit portfolio. The analysis was based on internally
prepared methodology for assessment of the materiality of climate and environmental risks (updated
in 2024 to take into account the regulatory guidelines). The analysis easures the exposure of the
Bank’s portfolio and traditional risk categories to climate and environmental risk factors, including
climate-related transition risk and climate-related physical risk. No material physical risks and
transition risks were excluded from the analysis. The sensitivity analysis was carried out for various
climate scenarios and time horizons correlated with periods of preparing strategic plans by the Bank
Millennium Group. In particular, for the needs of materiality assessment of the climate-related
transition risk, climate scenarios were used recommended by the Network for Greening the Financial
System, i.e. Net Zero 2050, Current Policies, Delayed Transition. The scenarios define critical
assumptions about how the transition to a low-emission and sustainable economy will impact the
prevailing macro-economic trends, consumption of energy and energy mix as well as assumptions for
using technologies. Due to limited availability of data and quantitative applicable criteria, the
assessment of the anticipated financial effects from material physical risks and transition risks was
based on expert judgement and qualitative criteria.
Detailed results of materiality assessment of the impact of climate and environmental risks on the
Bank’s traditional risks can be found in chapter 15.4.3. Identified impacts, risks and opportunities,
and the GHG reduction targets can be found in chapter 16.3.1. Climate-related targets.
As of 2024 the findings are qualitative in nature and constitute one of the factors taken into account
in updating the strategy and shaping our credit policy, which determines, among other things,
activities excluded from financing or subject to the system of limits. The assumptions and conclusions
of the materiality assessment will serve as a background for a comprehensive resilience analysis of
the Bank's strategy and business model to climate change with regard to the physical risk and the
transition risk.
In addition to the results of the climate and environmental materiality assessment, credit decisions
are also shaped by the exclusion policy. We identify areas of uncertainty related to the materiality
assessment, based on the data availability, and we expect improvement in the methodologies and
182
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
risk maps in the future. Based on analysis conducted we have not identified a negative impact of
climate-related transition risk on our ability to correct the strategy and business model, access to
financing or the opportunity to change the product portfolio. We did not consider the time horizon in
terms of our ability to adjust or adapt our strategy and business model to climate change in the short,
medium and long term.
[E1-1] At present, the Bank Millennium Group is preparing to develop the Transition Plan for climate
change mitigation (Transition Plan). The document, including objectives for emissions reduction and
decarbonisation measures, is planned to be adopted by 2026.
16.2. MANAGEMENT OF IMPACTS, RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Disclosure Requirement related to ESRS 2 IRO-1 – Description of the processes to identify and assess
material climate-related impacts, risks and opportunities – can be found in Chapter 15.4.3 Identified
impacts, risks and opportunities.
Policies related to climate change mitigation and adaptation
[E1-2] Environmental matters, apart from social and managerial issues, have an important role to
play in the management of the Bank Millennium Group, making up a significant part of our strategic
actions and a material element of our organizational culture.
Bank Millennium defined fundamental sustainability principles at the level of the entire Bank
Millennium Group in the policies related to climate change mitigation and adaptation adopted by the
Bank’s Management Board. The policies are generally available documents published on Bank
Millennium’s website and on the corporate site for employees and include:
• Policy on Sustainability Principles,
• Environmental Policy,
• Responsible Financing Policy,
• Supplier Sustainability Guidelines.
Responsibility for the implementation of the commitments resulting from the above policies is
allocated in accordance with the allocation of the responsibilities of individual organizational units
and their managers. The correctness of the implementation of the policies is supervised by the Bank
Millennium’s Management Board Members in accordance with the division of their powers.
Issues of climate change mitigation and adaptation are also taken into account of in the Bank’s
Strategy.
Strategy of Bank Millennium and the Bank Millennium Group
The basic initiatives in the environmental area are defined in the Strategy of Bank Millennium and the
Bank Millennium Group 2025-2028 Strategy 2028 – Value and Growth and include the implementation
of measures supporting the transition to an environmentally sustainable economy, which means,
among others, taking into consideration environmental factors in the risk management process at the
Bank and preparation of the offer of products and services as well as actions supporting
decarbonisation of our own business activities.
183
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
Policy on Sustainability Principles
The policy refers to, among others, issues related to climate change mitigation and adaptation. In
accordance with its assumptions, promoting measures for climate change mitigation and adaptation,
protection of natural resources, biodiversity and the natural environment is an integral part of
a responsible business model of the Bank Millennium Group.
Based on the principles, best practices and the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, in the Policy for
sustainability principles, we have committed ourselves to:
• include environmental risks (physical risk and transition risk) and social risks to the risk
assessment process,
• define a list of sectors and business activities not financed by the Bank Millennium Group,
• create sustainable solutions – financing environmentally-friendly and energy-saving projects,
• stimulate sustainable growth and achievement of environmental goals,
• take measures aimed to reduce our own carbon footprint,
• develop sustainability-related competences,
• promote a responsible consumption culture.
The policy is made available to the Group’s employees on the intranet site and to customers and
external entities on Bank Millennium’s website.
We have also undertaken to ensure the right sustainability management process at Bank Millennium
S.A., setting up a Sustainability Committee and the Sustainability Department, responsible, among
other things, for issues of environmental protection (including climate-related ones).
Environmental Policy
The policy supplements the Group’s Code of Ethics, strategies and business policies as well as the
sustainability policy, in which the Group undertakes to be responsible for environmental protection,
management and monitoring of adverse impact, both direct and indirect, of its own activity, products
and services, by adding, among other issues, those related to climate change mitigation and
adaptation.
The Environmental policy includes the fundamental principles of the Group’s own pro-ecological
measures, development of pro-ecological products and responsible financing as well as undertaking
to provide ecological education, covering promotion of the culture of environmental responsibility
and counteracting climate change.
Responsible Financing Policy
The responsible financing policy refers to offering by the Bank Millennium Group sustainable financial
products and conducting a responsible credit policy.
The document defines both exclusions and limitations in view of the assumed obligations regarding
promotion of sustainability and counteracting climate change, which the Bank takes into consideration
when making a decision to grant financing or engage in a project or an investment transaction on its
own account.
In the Policy, we declare that we do not finance projects or perform investment transactions on our
own account for, among others:
• Extraction of petroleum and coal mining
• Coal-based energy production.
184

and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
Also, in accordance with the Supplier Sustainability Guidelines approved by the Bank’s Management
Board Member the Bank Millennium Group encourages its business partners (upstream of the value
chain) to, among others, responsibility for the environment, using of innovative and clean
technologies and reducing the consumption of natural resources.
Climate change mitigation actions which have been taken

Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
[E1-3] The Bank assesses that the currently taken and planned climate change mitigation actions do
not require significant monetary amounts. Actions aimed to grant sustainable financing do not require
incurring capital expenditures or considerable operational expenses and are a part of the Bank’s basic
business activity related to granting loans. A budget of PLN 5 billion is however planned to grant new
sustainable financing in 2025-2028.
Actions aimed to reduce own Scope 1 and 2 emissions (accounting for 0.15% of the Bank’s total
emissions) are also a part of operational activities related to the maintenance of buildings and
purchase of utilities.
The effects of the actions taken to date for climate change mitigation in the perspective of the
Strategy for 2022-2024 involved: reduction of Scope 2 GHG emission by 36% using the location-based
method and by 33% using the market-based method as compared to 2022. Expected effects of the
planned measures involve further reduction of emissions until the achievement of net zero emissions
in Scopes 1 and 2. With respect to Scope 3 emissions, it will be possible to quantify expected effects
after adopting the Group’s Transition Plan.
The capability to complete the actions included in the Strategy 2025-2028 is embedded in the context
of macroeconomic perspectives and assumptions for the situation of the banking sector in these
timeframes. In our Strategy, we have taken into consideration forecasts and risks specific for the
banking sector in Poland, which may affect the financial standing and thus the possibility of financing
the planned actions by the Group. The Group’s dependence on the availability of resources is limited.
16.3. METRICS AND TARGETS
16.3.1. CLIMATE-RELATED TARGETS
[E1-4] The Bank Millennium Group set simplified climate-related targets concerning reduction of
emission of greenhouse gases. In accordance with the adopted Strategy for 2025-2028, we aim to
achieve net zero emissions in 2050 both in our own operations (Scopes 1 and 2) and in our own value
chain (Scope 3). By 2030, we are planning to achieve climate neutrality in our direct operations
(Scopes 1 and 2) by reducing GHG emissions in conjunction with a possible use of compensation of
residual emissions.
The objectives concerning reductions are set by us taking into account the present volumes of
emissions in our operations (Scopes 1 and 2) and in business relations (selected categories from Scope
3). Organizational limits for reduction targets are coherent with those adopted for the calculation of
emission of greenhouse gases (more in Chapter 16.3.3 Gross Scopes 1, 2, 3 and total GHG emissions.
The adopted targets for reducing GHG emissions are absolute and progress in their achievement will
be measured in tonnes of CO
2
e.
The targets set in previous years do not meet some of the current requirements for GHG emission
reduction targets and do not take into account the value chain. The Group has not set targets meeting
the ESRS E1-4 requirements because it does not have a fully prepared Climate-related Transition Plan.
The update of the targets, including the inclusion of emissions consistent with the organizational
limits described below in the section on emissions, as well as expressing them in values that do not
include compensation for the residual emissions, will take place as part of the preparation of the
climate-related Transition Plan.
Specific GHG emission reduction targets for individual sectors will be set with the involvement of
relevant stakeholders at the stage of preparing the Transition Plan.

16.3.2. ENERGY CONSUMPTION AND MIX
[E1-5] Consumption of energy from processes performed or managed by the Bank Millennium Group
are calculated with the use of the same organizational boundaries as for the calculation of Scopes 1
and 2 GHG emissions (disclosure E1-6).
Energy consumption from fuel combustion in stationary and mobile sources was calculated based on
physical fuel consumption data. The above consumption does not include the use of the Group’s
vehicles for private purposes.
Electricity consumption was calculated in about 70% of the locations based on physical data from the
energy supplier, and in 30% of the locations consumption was estimated based on expenses. The
electricity consumption by plug-in hybrid vehicles is calculated together with the electricity
consumption of the office building (internal charging) or is invoiced by the supplier of cards that allow
for charging at external stations. For the entire volume of electricity consumed in 2024 (at all outlets),
guarantees of origin have been purchased and redeemed, certified by the Polish Power Exchange
(Towarowa Giełda Energii) through Certificates provided by the energy supplier for Bank Millennium
and Millennium Leasing. Accordingly, using the market-based method, all of the electricity purchased
in 2024 was classified as coming from renewable sources. In addition, Bank Millennium has its own
photovoltaic system on the roofs of Bank Millennium Group’s buildings in Gdańsk. The energy
generated from the PV plant is consumed on-site for our own needs.
The calculation of heat consumption was based on physical data or was estimated based on expenses.
The Bank Millennium Group did not acquire steam, while the purchase of cooling was determined to
be immaterial in the calculation of energy consumption for 2024. No limitations to the estimation
methods used were identified.
The Group does not operate in sectors with a significant impact on the climate and does not consume
fuels as raw materials in its operations – all raw materials consumed are burned to produce energy.
Neither does it consume energy from nuclear sources. The consumption of self-generated renewable
energy by the Group refers only to energy produced without fuel. The Group does not offset energy
consumption even if the energy produced on site is sold to and used by a third party. Energy acquired
within organizational limits is not calculated as purchased or acquired energy. Steam, heat or waste
cooling from industrial processes are not extracted. The Group does not use hydrogen as an energy
source.
Energy consumption data has not been subjected to external attestation or validation by the third
party other than the assurance service provider.

[E1-6] The Bank Millennium Group is presenting for the first time GHG emissions in accordance with
the ESRS standards. To this end, we have conducted an analysis of the materiality process of all Scope
3 categories, and as a result we present greenhouse gas emissions in this report in categories: 1 -
Purchased goods and services, 3 - Fuel and energy-related activities (not included in Scope 1 or Scope
2) - by location-based and market-based approach, 13 - Downstream leased assets and 15 -
Investments.
Below is presented information on the amount of GHG emissions in 2024 for Scope 1 and 2 and for the
above-mentioned Scope 3 categories assessed as material, as well as information on the calculation
methodology. Greenhouse gas emissions were reported separately for Bank Millennium S.A. (as the
entity responsible for most of the Group's emissions) and for all companies of the Bank Millennium
Group.

Calculation methodology used
The calculations of Scope 1, 2 and 3 greenhouse gas emissions have been prepared in accordance with
the ESRS standards (Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/2772 of 31 July 2023 supplementing
Directive 2013/34/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards sustainability
reporting standards) and taking into account the principles, requirements and guidelines provided by
the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard (The Greenhouse Gas Protocol A Corporate Accounting and
Reporting Standard Revised Edition, GHG Protocol Scope 2 Guidance, GHG Protocol Corporate Value
Chain (Scope 3) Accounting and Reporting Standard). In addition, as the Bank Millennium Group
includes entities that are financial institutions, Scope 3 emissions for category 15 (Investments) are
disclosed, taking into account the requirements of the Standard developed by the Partnership for
Carbon Accounting Financials (PCAF): GHG Accounting and Reporting Standard for the Financial
Industry – part A "Financed issues" (version as of December 2022).
Sometimes the Group did not have enough data to estimate emissions in accordance with the adopted
methodology. In such cases, it was not decided to use metrics with a high level of measurement
uncertainty – the Group refrained from such estimates. In no case did this lead to an underestimation
of the level of estimated emissions.
Greenhouse gas emissions were calculated for all companies of the Bank Millennium Group, in
accordance with the organizational boundaries adopted in the financial statements for the year 2024,
excluding two companies in liquidation:
1. Piast Expert sp. z o.o. in liquidation.
2. Lubuskie Fabryki Mebli S.A. in liquidation.
These companies did not conduct any operating activities in 2024. The Group's organizational
boundaries for the purpose of calculating emissions were defined using the operational control
method.
195
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
The companies included in the calculations of GHG emissions for the Bank Millennium Group are:
• Bank Millennium S.A.
• Millennium Consulting S.A.
• Millennium TFI S.A. (subsidiary of Millennium Consulting S.A.)
• Millennium Leasing sp. z o.o.
• Millennium Bank Hipoteczny S.A.
• Millennium Goodie sp. z o.o.
• Millennium Service sp. z o.o.
• Millennium Telecommunication Services sp. z o.o. (including 2% affiliated entity Millennium
Leasing S.A.).
The calculation methodology includes greenhouse gases in accordance with the GHG Protocol: carbon
dioxide (CO
2
), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N
2
O), sulphur hexafluoride (SF
6
), nitrogen trifluoride
(NF
3
) as well as hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) and perfluorocarbons (PFCs).
The reference unit for the disclosed emissions is carbon dioxide equivalent (CO
2
e). Non-CO
2
emissions
were calculated by multiplying their amount by a GWP100 (100-year perspective) with a value
consistent with the latest data published in the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change)
reports.
The scope of disclosed greenhouse gas emissions of the Bank Millennium Group and Bank Millennium
included, in accordance with the GHG Protocol:
• direct emissions from Scope 1 from the combustion of fuels in own or controlled energy
sources,
• Scope 2 indirect emissions from the production of purchased electricity and heat energy,
• all other indirect greenhouse gas emissions (not covered by Scope 2) in the value chain of the
Bank Millennium Group and Bank Millennium (Scope 3).
Scope 1 emissions were calculated using physical data on fuel consumption. Some of the source data
used for the calculations was estimated based on expenditures.
The calculations consider emissions from the stationary combustion sources (heating boilers using
natural gas and fuel oil), from mobile combustion sources (vehicles used by companies powered by
gasoline and diesel oil) and uncontrolled emissions resulting from leaks of refrigerants from air
conditioning equipment.
Combustion of fuels in stationary combustion sources:
Natural gas – physical data (in m³) on gas consumption were obtained or estimated, and the emission
factor from the DEFRA2024 database were used.
Heating oil – physical data on fuel oil consumption were obtained or estimated, and emission factor
from the DEFRA 2024 database were used.
Fuel combustion in mobile combustion sources:
Diesel oil, gasoline – physical data (in litres) on fuel consumption for business purposes were obtained
and emission factors from the Defra 2024 database were used. The calculated greenhouse gas
emissions do not include the use of the Group's vehicles for private purposes.
Fugitive emissions:
196
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
Refrigerants - physical data (in kg) on refrigerant losses from equipment under the operational control
of the Bank Millennium Group were obtained and emission factors from the Defra 2024 database were
used. In the process of inventorying GHG emission streams, the area of the used fleet of vehicles
equipped with air conditioning was identified, however, taking into account the low GWP potential
of R1234yf and incidental leaks in air conditioning systems in vehicles used by the Bank Millennium
Group, this stream was not included in the emission calculations for 2024.
Biogenic emissions from the addition of biofuel to diesel and gasoline were calculated based on actual
fuel consumption, according to Scope 1 data. They are included as "out-of-scope" emissions. The Defra
2024 emission factor was used. For Bank Millennium, they amounted to 112.37 tCO
2
e, and for the
Bank Millennium Group, 126.23 tCO
2
e.
Scope 2 emissions were calculated with the use of physical data on electricity and heat consumption.
Some of the source data used for the calculations was estimated based on expenditures.
The calculations consider indirect emissions from purchased electricity and heat. The Bank Millennium
Group did not obtain steam, and the purchase of cold was identified as irrelevant in the emission
calculations for 2024.
The calculation of Scope 2 emissions was carried out using two required methodological approaches,
namely the location-based method (using the average emission factor for Poland) and the market-
based method (using emission factors specific to energy providers from which the reporting entity
makes contractual purchases of electricity in combination with contractual instruments such as
Guarantee of Origins or energy Renewable Energy Certificates).
Electricity - data on electricity consumption (in kWh) in about 70% of locations was obtained from
the energy supplier. In the remaining 30% of locations, electricity consumption is settled on the basis
of re-invoices calculated as a share in the rented space or the cost of electricity. A small number of
these facilities have an electricity submeter. Calculations of the value of annual electricity
consumption are based on cost and quantitative data (expressed in physical units). Source of emission
factors: for location-based – KOBIZE 2024; for market-based – emission factor provided by energy
supplier confirmed by Guarantees of Origin together with a document confirming their cancellation.
The electricity consumption of plug-in hybrid vehicles is calculated together with the electricity
consumption of the office building (internal charging) or is invoiced by the card provider that enables
charging at external charging stations.
For the entire volume of energy consumed in 2024 (in all branches), Guarantees of Origin were
purchased and redeemed, certified by the Towarowa Giełda Energii (the Polish Power Exchange)
through Certificates provided by the energy supplier to Bank Millennium and Millennium Leasing. As a
result, indirect emissions in Scope 2 (according to the market-based method) for electricity purchased
in 2024 amounted to zero tonnes of CO
2
e
.
In addition, Bank Millennium has its own photovoltaic system on the roofs of Bank Millennium Group
buildings located in Gdańsk. The energy generated from the PV installation is consumed on-site, for
our own needs, which results in a lower demand for purchased electricity.
Heat - calculations of the annual heat consumption value are based on quantitative data (expressed
in physical units). Some of the source data used for the calculations was estimated based on
expenditures. Source of emission factors: for location-based – URE 2022; for the market-based
method, the emission factor was not taken into account due to high dispersion and many heat
suppliers.
Biogenic carbon dioxide (CO
2
) emissions from the combustion or biodegradation of biomass for Scope
2 amounted to 1,551.53 tCO
2
e for Bank Millennium according to the location-based method and
1,018.10 tCO
2
e according to the market-based method. For the Group, these figures were 1,633.40
197

and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
tCO
2
e according to the location-based method and 1,058.99 tCO
2
e according to the market-based
method.
Scope 3 emissions are indirect emissions resulting from the Bank Millennium Group's operations, but
originating from sources not owned or controlled by the Group. They were calculated using physical
and cost data.
The GHG emission calculations were made for the relevant Scope 3 categories, selected based on a
materiality assessment process considering impacts, financial expenditures, transition risks,
opportunities and stakeholder opinions related to the upstream and downstream value chain, and
after considering any specific value chain requirements in other ESRSs.
The assessment of materiality was based on the method of estimating the impact of the Bank
Millennium Group's activities, and the criteria for each category were assessed using the expert
method. For most of the estimated GHG emission calculations (i.e. for categories 1 and 2, 5, 6), the
basis was financial data. Data from Exiobase 3 (data for Poland, marked "PL") were used as indicators
to convert financial data to greenhouse gas emissions, taking into account the exchange rate (the EUR
2024 exchange rate was PLN 4.3064
1
) and the inflation rate 2019-2024 (0.81
2
). Scope 3 categories: 4
(Upstream transportation and distribution), 9 (Downstream transportation and distribution), 10
(Processing of sold products), 12 (End-of-life treatment of sold products) – did not apply to the
operations of the Bank Millennium Group in 2024 and no estimated emissions calculations were made
for them.
Based on the materiality assessment process, the following Scope 3 categories were considered
relevant in 2024:
• Category 1 - Purchased goods and services (material in terms of financial expenditure; but
not material in terms of impact and transition risks; no opportunities and materiality or
immateriality in relation to stakeholder opinions were identified);
• Category 3 – Fuel- and energy-related activities not included in Scope 1 and 2 (material in
terms of financial expenditure, impact, transition risks and stakeholder opinions);
• Category 13 - Downstream leased assets (material for financial expenditures, impact,
transition risks and stakeholder opinions);
• Category 15 – Investment (material in terms of financial expenditure, impact, transition risks
and stakeholder opinions).
Scope 3 categories: 2 (Capital goods), 5 (Waste generated in operations), 6 (Business travel), 7
(Employee commuting), 8 (Upstream leased assets), 11 (Use of sold products), 14 (Franchises) were
considered immaterial based on the materiality analysis.
Main assumptions and data used to calculate Scope 3 emissions and the emission factors used:
Category 1- Purchased goods and services
Category 1 includes emissions related to the production of goods and services delivered to Bank
Millennium in the current year.
GHG emissions for Category 1 were calculated according to the GHG Protocol Spend-based method
and emission factors available in the external database (Exiobase) were adopted.
Category 3 - Fuel- and energy-related activities not included in Scope 1 and 2
Category 3 includes emissions related to the extraction, production and transport of fuels and energy
purchased by Bank Millennium in 2024 that were not included in Scope 1 or 2. This category also
includes losses on the transmission of electricity and heat.
198
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
The data on which the calculations in this category were based were physical data used for
calculations in Scope 1 and 2 derived from the consumption of natural gas, heating oil, diesel oil and
gasoline (Scope 1) and from the consumption of electricity and heat (Scope 2). Emission factors were
taken from the Defra database (2024, v.1_1; GWP100, AR5).
Category 13 - Downstream leased assets (from the lessor's perspective)
Category 13 includes emissions from the operation of assets owned by Millennium Leasing (acting as
a lessor receiving payments for this service) and leased to other entities during the reporting year,
which are not covered by Scope 1 or Scope 2.
For the calculation of emissions in Category 13, the GHG Protocol lessor-specific method was applied,
which includes data on Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions of lessors and the allocation of these emissions
to the respective leased assets.
The carbon footprint of Bank Millennium regarding leased assets was calculated for the following
groups:
• Light transport
• Heavy transport (trucks over 3.5 tonnes and tractor units)
• Buses and coaches
• Other means of transport
• Machinery and equipment
• Real estate.
Greenhouse gas emissions for light transport were calculated as the product of the emission factor
and the estimated annual mileage for the entire year of 2024. The emission factor was obtained from
the DEFRA database, taking into account the national energy mix. For vehicles with an unknown type
of drive, a separate emission factor was calculated, considering data on the percentage share of
vehicles with a given drive/fuel in Poland and DEFRA emission factors. The annual mileage of leased
vehicles was estimated by the Bank based on data from CEPiK (Centralna Ewidencja Pojazdów i
Kierowców - Central Record of Vehicles and Drivers).
Greenhouse gas emissions for heavy transport were calculated as the product of the emission factor
and the estimated or actual fuel consumption obtained from clients for the entire year 2024. The
emission factor was sourced from the study Ślad węglowy w leasingu STANDARD 2.0 as part of the
ESG project carried out by the ZPL (Związek Polskiego Leasingu - Polish Leasing Association). Fuel
consumption was estimated using the average annual mileage calculated based on CEPiK data and the
average fuel consumption per 100 km derived from the European Environment Agency database.
Greenhouse gas emissions for buses and coaches were calculated as the product of the emission factor
and the estimated or actual fuel or electricity consumption obtained from clients for the entire year
of 2024. The emission factor for electric vehicles was sourced from KOBIZE while for other vehicles,
it was obtained from study Ślad węglowy w leasingu STANDARD 2.0 as part of the ESG project carried
out by the ZPL. Fuel consumption was estimated using the average annual mileage calculated based
on CEPiK data and the average consumption per 100 km derived from data of the Miejski Zakład
Autobusowy w Warszawie (Municipal Bus Company in Warsaw) for electric vehicles and data obtained
from clients for other vehicles.
Emissions of greenhouse gases for other means of transport were calculated as the product of the
emission factor and the estimated or actual fuel consumption obtained from clients for the entire
year of 2024. The emission factor was sourced from the Ślad węglowy w leasingu STANDARD 2.0
report, part of the ESG project conducted by the ZPL. Due to the diversity of other means of transport,
the highest emission factors—those for vehicles over 3.5 tonnes – were applied. For vehicles with an
unknown type of fuel, an average was taken from the emission factors for each type of fuel. Fuel
consumption was estimated using average annual mileage calculated based on CEPiK data or the
199
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
average for the entire group of other means of transport, and the average fuel consumption per 100
km was derived from data provided by clients or the report The Economic Importance of Motorcycles
to Europe by ACEM.
The machinery and equipment portfolio was divided into categories, with following data and
calculation approaches applied:
• Forklifts: calculations were based on estimated annual operating hours and the emission
intensity of electricity.
• Construction Machinery: Calculations were based on estimated annual fuel consumption and
the emission intensity of diesel fuel.
• Photovoltaic Installations and Energy Storage: These were considered non-greenhouse gas
emitting, with zero emissions assumed for Scope 1 and Scope 2.
• Non-energy-consuming Equipment: Items such as halls, containers, and shelves were assumed
to have zero emissions in Scope 1 and Scope 2.
• Others: In cases where there was insufficient data to estimate the energy consumption of the
leased asset, emissions were estimated based on financial indicators, such as emission factors
based on the client's revenue from sales (calculated using data from Główny Urząd
Statystyczny - GUS - Central Statistical Office - or sourced from the Exiobase database). These
calculated client emissions were multiplied by the proportion of the total value of the leased
asset to the client's total balance sheet.
For the carbon footprint calculations of real estate in the leasing portfolio, publicly available PCAF
emission factors for commercial real estate from the year 2020 were used, expressed in tonnes of CO
2
equivalent per square meter of building.
Category 15 – Investments
Category 15 is intended for investors and financial service providers, including commercial banks,
whose investment activities (including equity and debt investments as well as project financing) are
not covered under Scope 1 and Scope 2. The guidelines developed by the GHG Protocol set out the
framework for calculating greenhouse gas emissions across all scopes. However, for Scope 3, Category
15 (Investments), emission calculations are carried out based on a detailed methodology developed
by the Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials (PCAF) as outlined in the GHG Accounting and
Reporting Standard for the Financial Industry, Part A "Financed Emissions" (December 2022 version).
The GHG emissions according to the PCAF Standard are calculated for 7 asset classes, of which 6 were
considered for the Group's needs:
1. Business loans and unlisted equity.
2. Listed equity and corporate bonds.
3. Project finance.
4. Commercial real estate.
5. Mortgages.
6. Sovereign debt.
The Bank Millennium Group does not have a portfolio of motor vehicle loans.
The calculation of financed emissions was carried out separately for each asset class, taking into
account the emissions of each activity and the appropriate attribution factor that determines the
share of Bank Millennium Group's financial involvement in financing the specific activity or asset.
1. Business loans and unlisted equity
The asset class "Business loans and unlisted equity" includes balance sheet credit exposures that are
not intended for trading and are designated for general corporate purposes, meaning the specific use
200
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
of funds is unknown. These are directed towards enterprises, non-profit organizations, and other
organizations. Within the Bank Millennium Group, this asset class includes the corporate loan
portfolio, defined as exposures to corporate clients maintaining accounting records, excluding project
finance and commercial real estate purchases.
The financed emissions for the asset class of corporate loans were calculated as the product of the
attribution factor and the total emissions of a given company (reported by the company or estimated
by the Group). When company emissions data was unavailable, a method was applied where the
attribution factor was multiplied by the company's revenue and by an emission factor (specific to the
sector, calculated based on data from GUS). In cases where client revenue data was missing, the
average corporate client revenue was estimated based on financial data and the number of non-
financial enterprises in various sectors published by GUS. For clients in the financial industry, due to
the lack of uniform statistical data, the average revenue of enterprises was estimated using the
Group's internal client database.
For some clients of the Group, due to the inability to estimate the necessary financial data,
attribution factors were based on the estimated share of the Group in the client's liabilities, without
considering that the company may partially finance its operations through equity. This approach might
lead to an overestimation of the calculated emissions for these clients.
According to the PCAF methodology, the attribution factor is determined as the ratio of the
outstanding loan amount to the total financing of the company, expressed as:
• The sum of equity and debt for non-listed companies, or
• EVIC (Enterprise Value Including Cash) for publicly listed companies
2. Equity investments and corporate bonds
According to PCAF standard we defined the asset class "Equity investments and corporate bonds" as
follows:
• "Listed equities and corporate bonds": These include all listed shares and corporate bonds
used for financing general corporate purposes, meaning the specific use of the funds is
unknown, as per the GHG Protocol.
• "Unlisted equities": These refer to unlisted equity investments with an unspecified purpose of
funds in companies, non-profit organizations, and other entities.
In the calculations of financed emissions, securities of companies serviced by the Treasury
Department were included. Each investment was treated individually, analyzing whether it was a debt
or equity investment and whether the security was traded on the market.
Financed emissions for this asset class were calculated as the product of the attribution factor and
the total emissions of the given company (reported by the company or estimated by the Group). When
company emissions data was unavailable, emission factors based on revenue (specific to the sector,
calculated using data from Główny Urząd Statystyczny) were applied.
According to the PCAF methodology, the attribution factor is determined as the ratio of the
investment value to the total financing of the company's operations, expressed as:
• The sum of equity and debt for unlisted companies, or
• EVIC (Enterprise Value Including Cash) for publicly listed companies.
3. Project finance
The "project finance" asset class includes all loans and equity investments in projects or activities
with a designated purpose, meaning the use of funds is known, as defined by the GHG Protocol.
201
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
Financed activities include, for example, the construction and energy production from a gas power
plant or photovoltaic or wind installations.
In its corporate portfolio, the Bank Millennium Group has exposures that constitute financing for
renewable energy sources, for which financed emissions were calculated as the product of the
attribution factor and the total emissions of the project, either estimated by the Group or reported.
Since the renewable energy sources financed by the Bank are photovoltaic installations and wind
farms, the Bank Millennium Group adopted the approach that they do not emit greenhouse gases into
the atmosphere. The Group did not use the options provided by the PCAF standard to calculate
avoided or removed emissions due to the lack of necessary data for the calculation.
According to the PCAF methodology, the attribution factor is determined as the ratio of the
outstanding loan amount to the total financing of the project, expressed as the sum of equity and
debt of the project.
4. Commercial real estate
The PCAF standard defines commercial real estate loans as balance sheet exposures intended for the
purchase or refinancing of commercial real estate. This includes:
• Properties used for the borrower's own operations, and
• Properties leased or rented by the borrower for residential or commercial purposes of the
tenant.
The scope of calculations for this asset class includes emissions from buildings that are in use and,
optionally, emissions from their construction.
When an equity investment in commercial real estate is traded on the stock exchange, it is included
in the calculations of financed emissions for the asset class of listed equity. Additionally, commercial
real estate loans that are secured by commercial real estate but intended for other purposes, such as
general corporate purposes, are excluded from the "commercial real estate" asset class. Emissions
from these assets are instead included in the calculations for "business loans”.
For the asset class "commercial real estate" the financed emissions calculations covered the largest
structured financing provided by the Group for which detailed data on the financed properties were
available. In cases where data was unavailable, emissions from these properties were included in the
calculations for the "business loans" asset class.
Financed emissions from the commercial real estate portfolio were calculated as the product of the
attribution factor and the total emissions of the commercial property estimated by the Group or the
reported. For most properties, the Group had energy consumption data from the building's energy
performance certificate or estimates based on the EPC model. The emissions from the properties
were calculated using the building's area in m2 from the loan agreement, annual energy demand, and
emission factors from the PCAF database (broken down by building type and emissions in tCO
2
e/MWh).
In the absence of energy demand data, PCAF emission factors based on the property's area were used.
In the case of loans granted in a consortium, both the initial value and the building area were allocated
proportionally to the Bank's share in the consortium.
In accordance with the PCAF methodology, the attribution factor was determined as the ratio of the
outstanding loan amount to the initial value of the property. If the initial property value at the time
of financing was not known, the Group used the current property valuation available at the start of
the carbon footprint calculation. In the case of significant loan modifications, as defined by the PCAF
standard as increased financing amount, financing renewal, refinancing, or extension, the property
value was updated. The outstanding amount represented the borrower's debt, which decreased over
time until it reached zero at the end of the loan term.
202
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
5. Mortgages
The asset class "mortgages" includes loans for the purchase and refinancing of residential properties,
meaning properties used solely for residential purposes and not for commercial activities. This asset
class does not include consumer loans secured by real estate or credit lines secured by real estate,
as these are typically general-purpose consumer loans for which the PCAF has not yet developed an
emissions calculation methodology.
The Bank Millennium Group included in its emissions calculations exposures that finance residential
properties and developed land, used by the end-user as of the balance sheet date. Mortgage loans for
the construction or modernization of a building are considered optional under the PCAF standard and
were not included in the Group's financed emissions due to a lack of available data. For land and
properties under construction (not in use as of the balance sheet date), zero emissions were assumed.
In addition, a loan that refinances a mortgage provided by the original lender replaces the original
loan. However, in the case of refinancing by a different institution, the exposure and associated
emissions are transferred to the refinancing institution.
Financed emissions for mortgages were calculated as the product of the attribution factor and the
total emissions of the residential property estimated by the Group. For calculating emissions from
residential properties, information from the energy performance certificate was used. In the absence
of such data, emissions were estimated based on the property's annual energy demand in kWh per
square meter using an accepted EPC model. (the property area data in m2 was sourced from the
Bank's internal database, and emission factors were drawn from the PCAF database, categorized by
type of residential property and emissions in tonnes of CO
2
e per MWh).
According to the PCAF standard, the attribution factor corresponds to the LTV (Loan-To-Value) ratio,
which is the ratio of the outstanding loan amount to the initial property value. If the initial property
value at the time of financing was unknown, the current property valuation at the start of the carbon
footprint calculation was used.
6. Sovereign debt
The "public debt" asset class includes government loans and bonds denominated in any currency.
Exposures to central banks are excluded from this methodology unless the central banks issue public
debt on behalf of governments, as well as exposures to local government units and municipal
enterprises are excluded. It is possible to include supranational issuers in this asset class, provided it
does not lead to double counting of a country's emissions.
The Bank Millennium Group calculates the carbon footprint from its sovereign debt securities,
excluding the trading book.
Financed emissions for "sovereign debt" were calculated according to the PCAF standard as the
product of the attribution factor and the emissions of the respective country. The attribution factor
for public debt was adopted from the PCAF standard and is defined as the ratio of the book value of
the bonds to the country's gross domestic product (GDP) adjusted for purchasing power parity (PPP).
Since the GDP adjusted for PPP published by the World Bank for each country is expressed in
international dollars (U.S. dollars), the book values of treasury securities expressed in PLN were
converted to U.S. dollars using the NBP Table A exchange rate.
State greenhouse gas emissions are defined by PCAF in 3 scopes, of which the Bank Millennium Group
has included only Scope 1 in calculations – domestic emissions from sources located within the
territory of a given country. Scope 2 - emissions related to the domestic consumption of electricity,
steam, heating or cooling imported from another territory and Scope 3 - emissions related to imports
of goods and services are not included in the calculation of "sovereign debt" emissions, due to the
cessation of publication of the necessary data for the last period by the OECD (data source indicated
203
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
by the PCAF) and that the indicators made available for a fee to PCAF members relate only to Scope
1.
Information on biogenic emissions is not available for all of the Group's assets generating Scope 3
category 15 emissions.

16.3.4. GHG REMOVALS AND GHG MITIGATION PROJECTS FINANCED THROUGH
CARBON CREDITS
[E1-7] The objective of the disclosure of information about GHG removals and GHG mitigation
projects financed through carbon credits is to provide an understanding of the undertaking’s actions
to permanently remove or actively support the removal of GHG from the atmosphere, potentially for
achieving net-zero targets and to provide an understanding of the extent and quality of carbon credits
the undertaking has purchased or intends to purchase from the voluntary market, potentially for
supporting its GHG neutrality claims. The scope of the disclosures is inadequate to the business
activities conducted by the Bank Millennium Group, because it does not perform such projects in the
area of its own operations and neither does it finance such projects.
16.3.5. INTERNAL CARBON PRICING
[E1-8] The Bank Millennium Group does not apply any internal carbon pricing systems.

17. BANK MILLENNIUM GROUP EMPLOYEES (ESRS S1)
17.1. STRATEGY FOR THE WORKFORCE AREA
17.1.1. INTERESTS AND VIEWS OF STAKEHOLDERS
[SBM-2] The Bank treats the views of employees as a key component of its management process and
of building an organizational culture based on dialogue and mutual respect, as has also been reflected
in our new strategy for 2025–2028 providing for, among other aspects, the pursuit of initiatives
responding to the outcomes of the Employee Satisfaction Survey.
The Bank provides its employees with channels of communication to submit their views, ideas and
comments through regular employee surveys, dedicated feedback boxes (electronic and physical),
open meetings with the Bank’s management, and an established process for the submission of
anonymous notifications that ensures the safety of the notifying individual.
Every view submitted by an employee is thoroughly reviewed and considered. The Bank takes
employee views into account and uses them to continuously improve its work environment and
processes. The consequences of actions taken on the basis of submitted information are
communicated to employees, depending on their nature, through the internal Intranet site, during
team meetings, etc.
The process of collecting and analysing employee views is conducted on a regular basis, annually, to
monitor changes in employee needs and expectations. The Bank evaluates the effectiveness of any
solutions that have been implemented based on subsequent surveys and employee engagement
indicators.
17.1.2. MATERIAL IMPACTS, RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES AND THEIR
INTERACTION WITH STRATEGY AND BUSINESS MODEL
[SBM-3] The issue of material impacts, risks and opportunities and their interaction with strategy and
business model covers all own workforce, as is discussed later on in section 17.2 Employee
characteristics.
In the course of identifying impacts in the own workforce area, we have categorized a total of thirteen

208
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
Under the sub-topic “Health and safety”, we have identified one negative impact: the potential for
employees in branches to be exposed to robbery associated with their handling of physical cash.
Ensuring the safety of employees is a fundamental responsibility of the employer as an entity required
to protect the health and lives of employees by ensuring safe working conditions. Accordingly, the
Bank is taking all possible steps to thwart any and all incidences of robbery in its branches, in
particular by reducing to a minimum the handling of cash by branch staff. Factors that reduce the
risk of robbery on a Bank branch are low amounts of cash and a high likelihood of incarceration. The
Bank recorded no incidents of robbery in its branches in 2024.
The Bank has adopted the Manual on physical safety and cash handling at Bank Millennium S.A.’s own
network outlets, which defines physical security and operating procedures for dealing with cash and
performing treasury activities at its own network outlets.
The fulfilment of the tasks provided for in the Bank’s new strategy will require the involvement of all
employees. The Bank understands the need to invest properly in its most important assets: people
and technology, and is adamant about building and developing its position as a top employer.
We have plans to extend educational activities for our workforce to include the topics of climate and
nature protection, volunteerism activities to support the pursuit of initiatives related to
environmentalism in its broadest sense, environmental protection, and encouraging grassroots
environmental and socially beneficial initiatives.
We understand the significance of dialogue with employees. Our primary objective is to ensure the
engagement of employees by actively listening to their opinions and being open to change. By
engaging in open communication, we enable the possibility of identifying additional areas for
improvement and taking action to improve the work environment that we offer.
We understand how concerned our employees are when it comes to the Bank’s impact on the natural
environment. In 2024, Bank Millennium began preparing a Transition Plan to reduce its negative
environmental impacts and increase the green and climate-neutral nature of its operations. As part
of the development of this plan, an analysis of the impact of activities to be carried out as a result
of its adoption on the Bank’s employees will be taken into account.
17.1.3. POLICIES RELATED TO OWN WORKFORCE
[S1-1] The Human Resources Department has been put in charge of monitoring alignment with the
objectives pursued by all internal regulations, described in chapter 17, related to own workforce.
This is served by the tools selected for the deployment of specific processes that are available to all
employees of the Bank, enabling their measurability and effectiveness, including: a channel for
reporting violations, a system for handling training, a system for working time and vacations, HR
portal for reporting problems or questions related to the HR area, and a system for reporting technical
problems related to the workplace. Thanks to these solutions, employees have easy access to the
necessary information and can actively participate in the organization's internal processes, and the
employer can monitor compliance with rules and regulations on an ongoing basis, analyzes their
effectiveness and, if necessary, implements appropriate changes to internal regulations.
Work Rules and Regulations in Bank Millennium
In the Bank Millennium Group, the underlying document defining the rights and obligations of
employees and the standards applicable to the safety and organization of work is the Work Rules and

under the Collective Bargaining Agreement. The employer’s actions are performed by: President of
the Management Board, Management Board Member in charge of supervising the Human Resources
Department and the Head of the Human Resources Department.
209

pay ratio between men and women holding comparable functions and having similar levels of
responsibility and career progression.

or discrimination in Bank Millennium
[S1-1] In order to ensure the implementation of adopted commitments and principles in policies and
other internal regulations, the Bank has put in place a procedure, which is a supporting tool for
preventing and mitigating discrimination and taking action after its detection as well as increasing
diversity and overall inclusion.
The procedure governs and describes the process of employee notifications, which may include, in

17.1.4. PROCEDURES FOR COOPERATION WITH OWN WORKFORCE AND
EMPLOYEE REPRESENTATIVES REGARDING IMPACTS
[S1-2] In implementing the provisions of the Code of Ethics, Bank Millennium regularly surveys
employee opinions and conducts extensive communication and dialogue with employees:
Employee satisfaction surveys
The employee satisfaction survey is a process by which the Bank collects opinions directly from its
employees on various aspects of their work and work environment. The purpose of the survey is to
understand how employees evaluate their work experience, thus enabling the Bank to identify areas
for improvement and make appropriate changes within the organization. The survey is conducted
annually.
The survey covers various aspects of work, such as terms and conditions of employment, relationships
with superiors and co-workers, work organization, professional development opportunities,
compensation, job stress and other elements that affect overall employee satisfaction.
Employees receive information about general outcomes of the survey through a message posted and
communicated to employees via the World of Millennium intranet site, and detailed results are
discussed at managers’ meetings and departmental meetings with employees.
In 2024, 63% of the Bank’s employees participated in the survey.
The outcomes of the survey are reviewed and used to evaluate the organization’s activities, improve
strategy and plan future assignments. The outcomes of the 2023-2024 satisfaction survey were taken
into account in:
▪ Preparing a multi-level approach to employee training and development, which includes
individual training, development plans for areas and departments, programs for managers,
self-learning platforms as well as specialized development and certification programs.
▪ Employee compensation reform, which consisted of comprehensive job reform and
compensation updates, the introduction of new job titles, a competency evaluation system
and an approach to raises and promotions based on individual evaluation.
▪ Changes in work organization and improvement of communication based in particular on
building a new knowledge base and information on the intranet, implementing a new
onboarding process and introducing a voluntary lunch break.
▪ Designing activities to reduce occupational stress, for instance through the creation of an
intranet-based Me Zone, available to all employees, broad access to webinars on health and
stress reduction techniques, and a cancer prevention program.
The Bank’s unit responsible for implementing this process and reporting the results to the Management
Board is the Human Resources Department, in particular the Director of the Human Resources
Department who heads it. The Human Resources Department remains under direct oversight of the
President of the Management Board.
Participation in the survey conducted among Bank employees is voluntary and responses are
anonymous in order to provide respondents with the comfort and freedom to express their opinions.
The survey and review of its outcomes are conducted through an external company.
Meetings between employees and the Management Board
The Management Board emphasizes communication and dialogue with the Bank’s employees. The
Bank holds periodic meetings to discuss issues of importance to employees:
214
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
▪ Periodic meetings with the Bank’s managers to discuss the Bank’s quarterly results, ongoing
projects and plans.
▪ Regular working meetings of managers with Management Board Members to discuss the Bank’s
current activities.
▪ Meetings of Management Board Members with specific employee groups – such meetings are
open to employees who may directly ask questions or submit their suggestions to Management
Board Members. As part of an organized initiative, interested employees may share their
opinions on a specific topic and then participate in business lunches held for a smaller group
of participants. Such meetings are attended by the President of the Management Board or
other Management Board Members. They provide an opportunity for employees to directly
share their opinions regarding work in Bank Millennium. In 2024, the meetings concerned the
survey on How to work more efficiently in Bank Millennium. Feedback was provided by 100
individuals, following which we categorized 238 ideas. Employees who provided their
responses were invited to participate in direct meetings with a small group of decision
makers. Lunch meetings were held in 3 Bank Millennium head offices – in Warsaw, Wrocław
and Gdańsk.
The Bank encourages open communication. The employee social network Viva Engage and the World
of Millennium intranet site serve this purpose. These tools serve to inform employees of the most
important issues relating to the Bank while making it possible to submit remarks and exchange
opinions on various topics. Additionally, the HR Department runs an Employee Zone intranet site on
which it regularly posts all information of interest to employees about employee-related matters.
Cooperation with trade unions
In accordance with the provisions of the human rights compliance policy implemented in Bank
Millennium, we respect the freedom of association and comply with the rules that permit employees
to associate, and we create conditions for employee organizations, including trade unions, to operate
in accordance with applicable laws.
Two trade union organizations operate in Bank Millennium and one trade union organization operates
in Millennium Leasing. There are no trade union organizations in other Group companies.
Employees of the Bank and Bank Millennium Group companies are not covered by a collective
bargaining agreement. The advancement of collective bargaining agreement negotiations is 0%. 100%
of employees are represented by trade unions.
The Bank, in accordance with the applicable laws, cooperates with the trade unions within the scope
defined by the legal regulations and the Trade Unions Act of 23 May 1991.
Under the agreements in place, the Bank and the trade unions agrees on internal regulations relevant
to employees, such as reward regulations, bonus regulations, remote work regulations and the social
fund spending plan. The Bank also consults with the trade unions on case-by-case employee issues.
The HR Department is responsible for cooperation with the trade unions.
The Bank provides employees with information on changes regarding relations with it as an employer,
taking into account the criterion of relevance, with the advance notice specified by labour legislation,
that is a minimum of 30 days.

17.2. WORKFORCE CHARACTERISTICS
17.2.1. CHARACTERISTICS OF THE ENTITY’S WORKFORCE
[S1-6] The Bank treats the Republic of Poland as the area of its business activity, and therefore all
employee disclosures refer to Poland without the Bank isolating any other locations relevant to its
business activity. At the end of 2024, the headcount in the Bank Millennium Group was 6,836 people.
Most of the employed workers were women (65%), and the average age of employees was 40. In the
Millennium Bank Group, we did not experience any significant fluctuations in the number of Group
employees between the reporting periods. We do not hire employees during unguaranteed working
hours.

17.3. EMPLOYMENT SECURITY, FRIENDLY PLACE TO WORK
17.3.1. POLICIES RELATED TO EMPLOYMENT SECURITY
[S1-1] In the Bank Millennium Group, the underlying document defining the rights and obligations of
all employees and the standards applicable to the safety and organization of work is the Work Rules
and Regulations.
The document is described in more detail in section 17.1 Strategy for the workforce area.
17.3.2. ACTIONS TAKEN TO IMPLEMENT POLICY OBJECTIVES
[S1-4] The Bank Millennium Group operates in Poland, where employment conditions and practices
are strictly regulated by law. All employees work under employment contracts and enjoy guaranteed
working hours. The Bank Millennium Group’s employment structure consists mainly of full-time (97%
of employees in 2024) and indefinite-term contracts (88%). 99% of employees are employed locally
(Polish citizens working in Poland). The forms of employment adopted in the Bank provide employees
with a sense of security and stability.
Bank Millennium recognizes employment security and stability as key elements of responsible and
sustainable human resources management. Our approach is based on two pillars: adherence to the
Labour Code as the supreme external document governing the rights and obligations of the employer
and employees, and internal regulations designed to ensure the highest standards of safety, ethics
and social responsibility.
Bank Millennium regularly surveys employee opinions and conducts extensive communication and
dialogue with employees. The purpose of the survey is to understand how employees evaluate their
work experience, thus enabling the Bank to identify areas for improvement and make appropriate
changes within the organization. These activities are described in more detail in section 17.1 Strategy
for the workforce area.
We promote conditions that ensure a balance between professional career and personal life as well
as other personal needs of our employees. Creating a friendly workplace that fosters work-life balance
is not only a key sustainability element, but also a major factor contributing to employee productivity,
commitment and loyalty.
In addition to providing attractive working conditions, development and social support, Bank
Millennium supports employees returning to work after a maternity/parental leave, and encourages
participation in charitable activities, employee volunteerism, sports and cultural activities.
Bank Millennium permits its employees to customize their form and working hours by offering various
systems, such as fixed, shift-based, task-based or equivalent, as well as work under a hybrid model.
For more information, see section 17.5 Working time.
The Bank established an intranet-based Me Zone, available to all employees, broad access to webinars
on health and stress reduction techniques, and a cancer prevention program. In addition, we organize
numerous webinars on the topics of diversity and broadly construed well-being.
Employee volunteerism
Within these activities, employee volunteerism plays a special role, which not only supports local
communities, but also fosters a sense of meaning, community and commitment among teams.
Volunteer activities enable employees to pursue their passions and values while favourably affecting
workplace relations and building an organizational culture based on social responsibility.
219
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
In 2024, employee volunteerism focused on environmental initiatives. Moreover, due to the flood
crisis that unfolded in southern Poland, volunteers had the opportunity to submit projects to support
those affected by the calamity.
Social safety [S1-11]
Bank Millennium operates under the provisions of the Labour Code, which guarantees, without
limitation, protection to all employees against loss of income due to serious life emergencies, such
as illness, unemployment, work accident, acquired disability, parental leave and retirement.
All Bank Millennium Group employees are offered the same social and financial benefits regardless of
the type of employment contract (for a definite/indefinite term), working time (part-time/full-time)
or the place of work:
• Support activities for employees approaching retirement/post-retirement
Approximately 14% of Bank Millennium Group employees are over the age of 50. Retired employees
may continue private medical care after termination of employment on preferential terms and may
apply for an allowance in challenging financial or health situations. At the request of retiring
employees, training related to employment continuity and facilitating the retirement process is
provided. In the event of retirement, the Bank pays the employee a retirement allowance based on
length of service, which is higher than that provided for in the Labour Code.
• Social benefits
The amount and scope of benefits depend on the employee’s life and financial situation. The Bylaws
of the Company Social Benefit Fund regulate the Bank’s social activity. According to these Bylaws,
the Bank pursues the following initiatives:
▪ conducting leisure, cultural, sporting, recreational and tourist activity,
▪ organising events and group meetings,
▪ providing material or financial assistance,
▪ providing financial assistance in individual events of chance, a particularly difficult financial,
family or life situation (financial assistance that does not have to be repaid), also in states of
emergency or epidemiological risks. The benefit may also be used by employees who retired
or received a disability pension immediately after the cessation of their employment
relationship.
The Bank provides employees with access to a private medical care program throughout Poland.
Under individually prepared ranges of medical subscriptions, all employees have access to basic and
specialist medical consultations, detailed diagnostic tests and prevention programs. Medical
subscriptions on preferential terms may also be used by family members of a current or retiring
employee.
For employees who want additional financial security for unforeseen life situations, we offer an
extensive life insurance program. Life insurance constitutes a cornerstone of financial security.
Owing to the Bank’s extremely favourable agreement with Poland’s largest insurer, employees may
join a group insurance program and benefit from terms they would not be able to obtain if they
insured themselves individually. Joining the insurance is voluntary. The protection covers the life and
health of the employee and their family members.

17.3.3. OBJECTIVES RELATED TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF POLICIES AND
ACTIVITIES
[S1-5] Bank Millennium has set a goal in its Strategy for 2025-2028 to maintain a competitive,
transparent and compliant employee compensation policy and to enhance the Bank’s attractiveness
as a place to work by among other maintaining its position as a Top Employer.
Ongoing progress in implementing strategic sustainability initiatives (as described in the ESG Strategy
for 2022-2024) has been monitored on a quarterly basis by the Sustainability Committee. The
managers of the substantive units are responsible for the achievement of individual goals, and they
report on the level of the goal’s achievement in their area. On this basis, a report is prepared after
each Committee meeting.
The same monitoring model will be maintained in subsequent years, for the Strategy for 2025-2028.
Targets were set in consultation with the units involved in their pursuit.

17.4. EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION
17.4.1. POLICIES RELATED TO EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION
[S1-1] Bank Millennium has implemented a uniform Compensation policy for employees of the Bank
Millennium Group which articulates the assumptions used to shape the fixed and variable components
of compensation for all employees in the Group while taking into account the tasks and degrees of
power assigned to the teams and units concerned.
Policies pertaining to the employee compensation area are described in more detail in section 17.1
Strategy for the workforce area.
223
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
17.4.2. ACTIONS TAKEN TO IMPLEMENT POLICY OBJECTIVES
[S1-4] Employees have employment contracts and fixed compensation makes up a major part of their
overall compensation.
Our internal regulations ensure transparency, fairness and competitiveness in compensation. We set
clear criteria defining the rules for determining employee compensation, bonuses and fringe benefits,
enabling us to motivate our employees, build commitment and support their professional
development. Bank Millennium’s employee compensation system is aligned with sustainability
principles – we promote employee compensation that takes into consideration gender balance and
counteracts inequalities.
At the Bank, regular salary and position reviews are conducted. Pursuant to an assessment of the
Group’s financial condition and its business environment, the Bank’s Management Board may make a
decision to award a pool of funds to be used to modify employees’ base salaries.
In accordance with the Employee Compensation Policy, the Bank incorporates information in the
compensation policy concerning the market levels of compensation for similar positions. Employee
compensation is periodically checked on the basis of the Bank’s current strategy, market data, job
performance assessments and employee career stages.
Moreover, in the Bank Millennium Group, we use variable employee compensation as an additional
motivational element of the overall compensation, shaped using differentiated bonus schemes whose
purpose is to motivate employees to achieve their business and organizational plans.
The bonus systems and periodic evaluation criteria in the Bank Millennium Group have been adapted
to the specific nature of work performed by employees in the Group’s various areas. The rules for
granting bonuses are defined for individual employee groups in the Rules and regulations of
performance assessment and conditions for granting bonuses.
The Bank does its best for the motivation mechanisms addressed to the employees of sales units and
other units involved in processes related to client service to be devised in such a way that they do
not lead to a conflict of interest or incentives that may incline Group employees to place their own
interests or the firm’s interest first thereby creating a prospective loss for any Group client. The
bonus pool amount depends each time on overall results and on the general condition of the Bank.
The Trade Unions active in Bank Millennium provide consultation of any changes that are introduced
to the rules governing basic salary and to bonus systems.
External consultants are not directly involved in the process to determine compensation levels,
however the Bank does analyse data from compensation reports provided by consultants from Korn
Ferry and Sedlak&Sedlak.
17.4.3. OBJECTIVES RELATED TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF POLICIES AND
ACTIVITIES
[S1-5] Bank Millennium has set a goal in its Strategy for 2025-2028 to maintain a competitive,
transparent and compliant employee compensation policy (for details, see section 17.1 Strategy for
the workforce area).
Ongoing progress in implementing strategic sustainability initiatives (as described in the ESG Strategy
for 2022-2024) has been monitored on a quarterly basis by the Sustainability Committee. The
managers of the substantive units are responsible for the achievement of individual goals, and they
report on the level of the goal’s achievement in their area. On this basis, a report is prepared after
each Committee meeting.
224
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
The same monitoring model will be maintained in subsequent years, for the Strategy for 2025-2028.
Targets were set in consultation with the units involved in their pursuit.
17.4.4. ADEQUATE WAGES
[S1-10] All Bank Millennium employees receive adequate compensation.
Salary levels are reviewed taking into account the periodic assessment of performance and skills and
are compared with salary information presented in salary studies on the financial markets.
Ratio of salaries of entry-level employees to the minimum wage: 1.33.
17.4.5. COMPENSATION METRICS
[S1-16] The ratio of the annual total compensation for 2024 of the highest paid person in the
organization to the median annual total compensation of all employees (excluding the highest paid
person) is 38. The ratio of the percentage increase in annual total compensation for 2024 of the
highest paid person in the organization to the median percentage increase in annual total
compensation for all employees (excluding the highest paid person) is 59%.
The Bank analyses on an ongoing basis the compensation structure and equality of earnings and jobs
by gender, age and nationality. Interviews are held from time to time with persons leaving the Bank
to grasp the reasons for them to leave.
Gender pay gap in the Bank Millennium Group
Unadjusted
gender pay gap
Average
unadjusted pay
gap between men
and women
33,7%
The gender pay gap calculated as the difference
between the average total annual wage paid to men
and women expressed as a percentage of the
average total annual wage paid to men for the
Group. The salaries of part-time employees were
converted to full-time.
The pay gap indicator is not only used for sustainability reporting but is also reported to other
authorities (KNF, EBA). In order to maintain consistency in reporting, we have adopted a different
calculation method - converting the total remuneration per FTE using a monthly rather than an hourly
rate. The total remuneration includes both fixed and variable remuneration, i.e. basic remuneration
from engagement, bonuses, rewards, overtime, severance pay, holiday equivalents, non-cash benefits
added to income (i.e. all components included in PIT). The unadjusted gap takes into account all
employees employed at the end of the year and their total remuneration.
The difference in the average compensation of women and men does not include the differences in
geographic location, scope of duties and headcount structure of men and women in various positions
in different areas of the Bank. It should be emphasized that the last factor in particular is of major
significance for the shaping of the average employee compensation. Most women are hired in the
sales network (74%), while men work chiefly in high technology areas (in the “technicians” category).
The Bank reviews in detail all factors that may contribute to the differences in employee
compensation between men and women.

17.5. WORKING TIME
17.5.1. POLICIES RELATED TO WORKING TIME
[S1-1] The Bank Millennium Group has the Work Rules and Regulations in place, which establish the
organization and order of work and the related rights and duties of the employer and employees,
including issues related to working time.
The document is described in more detail in section 17.1 Strategy for the workforce area.
17.5.2. ACTIONS TAKEN TO IMPLEMENT POLICY OBJECTIVES
[S1-4] Fixed full-time working hours
97% of the Millennium Bank Group’s employees work full-time, predominantly according to a schedule
of fixed working hours. Individual work schedules and remote work are permissible on the basis of
individual contracts.
Bank Millennium Group employees are subject to one of the following working hour schedules: fixed
(the main one), shift-based, task-based, balanced, continuous. The selection of a system depends on
the type, organisation and place of work and the business requirements in a specific area.
Individual approach to the form and time of work
In response to an employee’s written request, their superior may set an individual work time schedule
within the framework of the system applicable to that employee. Working remotely is also possible
through individual arrangements. Employees may work part-time insofar as the conditions for the
Group to operate in a given area facilitate that. Many employees with parental rights are taking
advantage of this solution.
Work in a hybrid mode
The hybrid work mode has been introduced in the Bank Millennium Group. The Bank recommends that
employees work 50% of time in the office and 50% on a remote basis, with the organizational unit
Managers being authorized to modify these proportions as the needs require in connection with the
tasks and projects in progress and the effectiveness achieved by employee teams. Such a solution
makes it possible to combine the needs of the employees with the interest of the employer.
Overtime management
In Bank Millennium, overtime is managed through the TETA system, which is available to all
employees. Registration of overtime during the reporting period is carried out in accordance with the
Polish labour law. Employees are familiarized with the rules for registering and receiving overtime
through the HR Portal on the intranet.
Bank Millennium makes every effort to ensure that employees have full knowledge of working time
rules, applicable laws and internal regulations. To this end, we arrange time management training
courses that are tailored to different groups of employees. The topics covered during such training
include:
▪ Labour Code regulations on working time, including working time standards and dimensions,
overtime and days off,
▪ Bank’s internal regulations – such as procedures for reporting overtime and vacation planning
rules,
226
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
▪ effective work time management – techniques for planning and organizing tasks to increase
efficiency and minimize stress associated with excessive duties.
Training-related issues in Bank Millennium are described in more detail in section 17.8. Training and
development
17.5.3. OBJECTIVES RELATED TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF POLICIES AND
ACTIVITIES
[S1-5] Bank Millennium strives to create a friendly work environment that takes into account the
various needs of employees also in terms of their working hours, while remaining in compliance with
the Labour Code and Work Rules and Regulations. The following are the main goals we pursue to
manage our employees’ working time in a transparent and effective manner:
1. Ensure compliance with the law – the Bank ensures compliance with standards for working
hours, rest periods and overtime compensation rules.
2. Enabling flexible working time – we promote a flexible approach to the organization of
working time which enables employees to better adapt working hours to their needs (hybrid
work model, individual working time established under the provisions of the Work Rules and
Regulations)
3. Ensuring compliance with working time rules – regular monitoring and optimization of
working time to ensure that employees obtain enough rest and avoid excessive workload.
4. Developing a culture of responsible work – management is encouraged to promote
transparency and support the individual needs of employees in the organization of their
working time as part of building trust and long-term commitment of the team.
Monitoring the achievement of individual goals is supported by tools available to all employees of the
Bank, enabling their measurability and effectiveness: time and leave management system and HR
portal to report problems or questions related to the HR area.
17.6. EMPLOYEE HEALTH AND SAFETY
17.6.1. POLICIES RELATED TO EMPLOYEE HEALTH AND SAFETY
Occupational Health and Safety activities are regulated in the Instructions for managing occupational
health and safety and fire protection in Bank Millennium.
The document is described in more detail in section 17.1 Strategy for the workforce area.
17.6.2. ACTIONS TAKEN TO IMPLEMENT POLICY OBJECTIVES
[S1-4] Bank Millennium’s fundamental activity with regard to the health and safety of its employees
is the continuous provision of proper occupational health and safety conditions. The OHS activity is a
scheduled activity based on the annual audit plan, which covers at least 50% of all the Bank’s branches
in any given year, as well as periodic inspections of offices for compliance with fire protection and
OHS rules. In order to be able to effectively implement the requirements prescribed in the
regulations, a process has been developed at the Bank for the actions taken in this respect:
1. Periodic inspections of the state of occupational health and safety at all of the Bank’s
locations are carried out by an external company specializing in the OHS area.
2. Inspection reports are prepared and forwarded to the Bank’s Occupational Health and Safety
Office.
3. The Occupational Health and Safety Office verifies all information contained in such reports,
following which it implements the recommendations issued within the scope of its powers or
227
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
forwards them to the relevant responsible units of the Bank that exert an impact on employee
occupational health and safety issues.
4. Each year, the Occupational Health and Safety Office prepares an annual analysis of the state
of occupational health and safety, which includes a summary of all inspections carried out
during the year and the identification of directions for improvement in the OHS area for the
whole organization.
The causes and circumstances of work-related accidents are investigated not only to fulfil insurance
obligations but also to educate and prevent any additional undesirable events (post-accident
recommendations). All new employees are familiarised with the occupational risk assessment for
individual jobs.
The key risks related to failing to observe OHS rules pertain to the possibility of employees sustaining
unfavourable health consequences (chiefly falling, getting hit, mental and physical burdens), the
ensuing absence from work and the requirement to disburse damages. The essence of the adopted
solutions is to ensure the Bank's capacity to continuously identify hazards in all areas of its business,
including those arising from cooperation with other entities, cooperation with subcontractors, and to
manage the risks associated with these hazards.
In order to minimize this risk, all newly hired employees participate in mandatory OHS and fire
protection training. The management staff is additionally obliged to attend regular refresher and
complementary training in this field. Depending on the needs, the Training Team organises first aid
training.
The Bank’s relevant organisational units develop and disseminate among employees the normative
acts, instructions (e.g. for the operation of equipment) and training materials necessary to perform
safe work on a dedicated internal intranet site.
The system for reporting technical defects in the form of the MSERV application, as currently being
implemented, serves the purpose of improving efficiency related to the rapid identification and direct
elimination of hazards.
During initial training in occupational health and safety, all newly hired employees are informed about
the available MSERV application on the intranet site. Each social labour inspector acting as an
employee representative is additionally notified by email from the OHS Department.
The Bank restricts cash handling in retail outlets, which significantly mitigates risks related to and
adverse effects of crime (physical and mental injuries). The low amounts of cash in the outlets and
the high risk of incarceration suppress the number of robberies. The Bank recorded no incidents of
robbery in its branches in 2024.
The Bank has adopted the Manual on physical safety and cash handling at Bank Millennium S.A.’s own
network outlets, which describes the rules related to maintaining security at the Bank’s outlets and
the cash handling process.
The Bank conducts security inspections at its outlets, focuses on maintaining the constant efficiency
of security systems (awareness programs) and provides network employees with threat warnings on
an ongoing basis.
In the rare event of a robbery at an outlet, the Bank provides support to employees in the form of
psychological and substantive assistance.
Employees are entitled to receive benefits for accidents at work and occupational diseases in
accordance with the Act of 30 October 2002 on Social Insurance for Accidents at Work and
Occupational Diseases. The health care provided to employees comprises occupational medicine
228
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
services, including preventive healthcare examinations for employees during their working hours and
at the employer’s expense.
Consultations with employee representatives are carried out as part of regular (at least quarterly)
meetings of the Occupational Health and Safety Commission held in Bank Millennium. The
Commission’s meetings are minuted in detail and forwarded to the Director of the Human Resources
Department, who serves as the Commission’s chairperson responsible for overseeing the taking of
actions specified in the minutes. During these meetings, employee representatives submit proposals
for areas of improvement in occupational health and safety conditions. Actions resulting from the
work of the Commission that do not require significant financial expenditures or major changes in the
processes operating in the Bank are implemented on an ongoing basis by the Bank’s relevant
organizational units, while those actions that require greater financial resources and changes in the
organization are forwarded by the Director of the Human Resources Department or the Head of the
Occupational Health and Safety Office to the Management Board for approval before their
implementation.
The Bank cooperates on an ongoing basis with trade union representatives within the framework of
the OHS Committee and with Social Labour Inspectors whom it consults about OHS issues and working
conditions.
In accordance with the requirements of the Social Labour Inspection Act of 24 June 1983, in order to
improve cooperation, the employer has developed and shared with the social labour inspectors, who
work at the Bank’s various locations throughout the country, a book of comments and
recommendations in the form of an electronic application for making records. When a record is made
by a social labour inspector, the Occupational Health and Safety Office, the Human Resources
Department and the Administration Department receive notification from the application and take
immediate action – analyse and determine ways to implement the comments and recommendations
made.
17.6.3. OBJECTIVES RELATED TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF POLICIES AND
ACTIVITIES
[S1-5] Bank Millennium’s goals for the continuous provision of occupational health and safety
conditions for all its employees derive directly from the Labour Code and the needs reported by
employees in this regard. In order to effectively manage them, Bank Millennium has implemented an
internal document, Instructions for managing occupational health and safety and fire protection in
Bank Millennium, in which they are included as a permanent component of the Bank’s operations. In
accordance with its provisions, the Bank, as an organizational unit hiring employees, takes into
account in its activities the needs of all employees in ensuring safe and healthy working conditions
and fire protection, including by:
1) supervising compliance with the rules and regulations pertaining to occupational health and safety
and fire protection,
2) taking into account in the development programs of the Bank’s organizational units the
improvement of occupational health and safety conditions and fire protection,
3) ensuring that the planned tasks are determined while taking into account the requirements of
occupational health and safety and fire protection,
4) controlling and evaluating the status of implementation of tasks in the field of occupational health
and safety and fire protection in the Bank’s units, and determining the directions for improvement of
this status.
229
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
Monitoring of the achievement of individual goals is supported by the Bank's established process for
monitoring the health and safety status of all Bank's location units, as well as dedicated tools available
to all Bank’s employees for measurability and effectiveness, such as: HR portal for reporting problems
or questions related to the HR area, and a system for reporting technical problems in the workplace.

The number of work-related injury incidents consists of accidents at work, accidents treated as equivalent to accidents at work and accidents
on the way to or from work.

A different method has been adopted for calculating the accident rate, which, in the Bank's opinion, is more transparent and clear for the
recipient. According to the adopted methodology, the accident rate is the number of injured persons per 1000 workers.

Accident severity rate: this is the number of days of incapacity for work in relation to the number of accidents at work, i.e. the quotient of
the number of days of incapacity for work caused by accidents at work by the number of accidents at work.

17.7.1. POLICIES RELATED TO EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION AND DIVERSITY
[S1-1] Bank Millennium has implemented a uniform Compensation policy for employees of the Bank
Millennium Group which provides a formal framework for shaping the Group’s employee compensation
practices with respect for dignity and against discrimination.
Issues related to the gender-neutrality of employee compensation principles and the goals set in this
respect are included in the Diversity Policy in the Bank Millennium Group.
Moreover, issues related to respecting diversity in the Bank’s Group are also governed by the Work
Rules and Regulations, the Code of Ethics and the Human Rights Compliance Policy.
These documents are described in more detail in section 17.1 Strategy for the workforce area.
17.7.2. ACTIONS TAKEN TO IMPLEMENT POLICY OBJECTIVES
[S1-4] The Bank Millennium Group implements the principles of respecting and honouring diversity,
including ensuring equal compensation for all employees through taking measures such as:
1. Formal framework for shaping the practice of compensating all employees of the Group –
regardless of their position or level of responsibility, always taking into account the values of
unqualified respect for human dignity and diversity, with zero tolerance for any form of
discrimination. The only criteria affecting employee compensation and access to specific
positions involve the employee’s competence and performance. Employee compensation is
defined in accordance with function, career and degree of achievement of established goals,
promoting a 1:1 pay ratio between men and women holding comparable functions and having
similar levels of responsibility and career progression.
2. Adhering to the Human Rights Compliance Policy and Work Rules and Regulations, according to
which employees in Bank Millennium are not allowed to engage in any discriminatory practices,
direct or indirect, against any other employee. We promote a culture of tolerance and reject
all forms of discrimination based on origin, gender, sexual orientation, family situation,
nationality, ethnicity, religion, membership in social groups and political beliefs, or any kind of
individual physical characteristics, health conditions or disabilities.
The right to equality applies in particular to:
• Selection criteria and conditions of employment.
• Opportunities for professional development, access to training and opportunities to
change the unit in which the employee works, including for the purposes of gaining
practical experience.
• Salary and other financial benefits, promotion to all levels of organizational hierarchy;
• Membership in collective representation structures or in any organization whose
members practice a specific profession (for example, associations, chambers of legal
counsel).
3. During employee recruitment, the Bank does not apply criteria putting one in jeopardy of
discriminatory behaviour. These rules also apply to the termination of employment, terms of
employment, promotions and access to training to raise professional qualification. Candidates
are selected based on objective criteria, such as in particular: education, professional
experience, general and specific competences, proficiency in foreign languages and the overall
match with the profile. Employees must refrain from making decisions on the basis of
discriminatory criteria that will affect another person’s access to a job, promotion, salary or
any other work-related decision, or those that create an intimidating, hostile or humiliating
work environment.
231
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
4. Mandatory training for all employees on the Bank’s Code of Ethics, which prohibits any form of
discrimination. During training, managers are taught how to manage diverse teams. Training is
an important part of developing the right attitudes – also to overcome stereotypes and promote
openness to employees’ various convictions and mould their own responsibility and that of their
reports.
5. We have launched the Diversity is OK! Initiative to educate employees, promote mutual
understanding, raise awareness of the importance of synergy in teams, and build skills to
influence the development of teams through effective communication and collaboration among
employees. The purpose of the initiative is to demonstrate that differences can unite and bring
tangible benefits. We want to make sure that every person in the organization feels important
and valued. To reach as many employees as possible, we host regular webinars that can be
viewed live or listened to on the Cornerstone training platform. So far, we have covered topics
such as gender equality, body positivity, the pay gap, communicating in multigenerational
teams, as well “she and he in business – the synergy effect, and feminatives”.
6. Bank Millennium is a signatory to the Diversity Charter, which is a pledge signed by
organizations that choose to prohibit discrimination in the workplace and work to create and
promote diversity.
17.7.3. OBJECTIVES RELATED TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF POLICIES AND
ACTIVITIES
[S1-5] The Bank’s strategy for 2025-2028 also includes goals related to promoting diversity, equality
and inclusion in our business activities. In pursuit of the objective formulated as Further developing
compensation policies aligned with ESG and transparency standards, the Bank will strive to ensure
the highest standards required in this respect for all Group employees.
Ongoing progress in implementing strategic sustainability initiatives (as described in the ESG Strategy
for 2022-2024) has been monitored on a quarterly basis by the Sustainability Committee. The
managers of the substantive units are responsible for the achievement of individual goals, and they
report on the level of the goal’s achievement in their area. On this basis, a report is prepared after
each Committee meeting.
The same monitoring model will be maintained in subsequent years, for the Strategy for 2025-2028.
Targets were set in consultation with the units involved in their pursuit.

In the Strategy for 2025-2028, the Bank established the goal of Aligning the talent acquisition and
development plan with the organization’s key strategic objectives, within which it set out to provide
an attractive development offer for employees in strategic areas and to update the onboarding
process. The Bank has also adopted the goal of continuing to build a culture of continuous learning.
Ongoing progress in implementing strategic sustainability initiatives (as described in the ESG Strategy
for 2022-2024) has been monitored on a quarterly basis by the Sustainability Committee. The
managers of the substantive units are responsible for the achievement of individual goals, and they
report on the level of the goal’s achievement in their area. On this basis, a report is prepared after
each Committee meeting. The same monitoring model will be maintained in subsequent years, for
the Strategy for 2025-2028.
Targets were set in consultation with the units involved in their pursuit.

In Bank Millennium, all employees are subject to periodic performance evaluations. Depending on the
group and the tasks performed, employees are evaluated on a monthly, quarterly or semi-annual
basis. In order to be included in a given evaluation process, an employee must meet the requirements
specified in the internal regulations regarding minimum seniority and working time in the period under
evaluation. Approximately 98% of employees participate in cyclical evaluation processes (excluding
employees who do not meet the indicated requirements).
The Bank determines the percentage of employees participating in the evaluation based on a sample
consisting of a verification of the inclusion in the evaluation carried out in the last quarter of the year
for each employee employed under an employment contract in the Millennium Bank Group in the last
quarter of the year. Employees who are on long-term leave and who worked less than 15 days in the
last quarter of the year are excluded from the survey. Employees who are employed by more than
one company in the Bank Millennium Group are included in the survey at the company where they
work the most.

17.9. COUNTERING VIOLATIONS IN THE WORKPLACE
17.9.1. POLICIES RELATED TO COUNTERING VIOLATIONS
[S1-1] In the Bank Millennium Group, the use of any discriminatory practices with features of bullying
or harassment in relation to employees is prohibited. The main documents that define the rights and
obligations of employees and standards regarding these issues are the Code of Ethics and the Work
Rules and Regulations.
238
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
The process of reporting employee-related violations in the Bank is governed by the Procedure for
dealing with reports from employees, including those suggesting bullying or discrimination in Bank
Millennium S.A. and the Bank Millennium S.A. Whistleblower Manual.
These documents are described in more detail in section 17.1 Strategy for the workforce area.
17.9.2. ACTIONS TAKEN TO IMPLEMENT POLICY OBJECTIVES
[S1-4] In order to ensure compliance with ethical principles and prevent violations, we conduct the
following activities:
1. Code of Ethics – lays down our ethical principles. Newly hired employees are required to
familiarize themselves with the contents of the Code of Ethics and sign a statement of knowledge
of the principles contained in the Code and their application.
2. Ethics Officer – the function of the Ethics Officer is exercised by the head of the Compliance
Department. The Ethics Officer’s responsibilities include safeguarding compliance with the Code
of Ethics by Bank employees, promoting and disseminating information about ethical standards,
ordering inspections of compliance with ethical principles and verifying cases of their breach.
3. Ethics training system – a dedicated e-learning course Code of Ethics has been prepared for all
Bank employees. Every new employee is required to undergo it. Moreover, every employee is
required to participate in refresher training, conducted annually.
4. Communication with employees – informing employees of all changes in the ethics area – the Code
of Ethics is posted on an intranet site accessible by all Bank employees.
5. Breach reporting system – upon discovery or reasonable suspicion of a breach by another employee
of the law, applicable procedures or the Code of Ethics, each employee is required to promptly
report such discovery to: naruszenia@bankmillennium.pl
6. Rules of ethics compliance monitoring system – the Compliance Department at least annually
assesses the risks associated with ethics violations in the Bank. A report from the assessment is
drafted and presented to the Bank’s Management Board. The Bank's Management Board
periodically verifies and assesses compliance with the rules of ethics in order to adjust them to
the changing internal situation in the bank and the bank's environment, and at least once a year
informs the Bank Millennium Supervisory Board about the results of the assessment.
17.9.3. OBJECTIVES RELATED TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF POLICIES AND
ACTIVITIES
[S1-5] Bank Millennium is an employer that, in its relations with its employees, is guided primarily by
ethical principles and acts in accordance with generally applicable laws and internal regulations. In
the Bank Millennium Group Strategy for 2025-2028, we have focused, among other aspects, on caring
for the well-being of our employees, including through the promotion of diversity and equality.
Included in this objective are the measures implemented by the Bank to prevent any discriminatory
practices against our employees, as described in section 17.9.2 Actions taken to implement policies
and section 17.9.4 Processes for remediation of negative impacts and channels for reporting
violations.
Ongoing progress in implementing strategic sustainability initiatives (as described in the ESG Strategy
for 2022-2024) has been monitored on a quarterly basis by the Sustainability Committee. The
managers of the substantive units are responsible for the achievement of individual goals, and they
report on the level of the goal’s achievement in their area. On this basis, a report is prepared after
each Committee meeting.
The same monitoring model will be maintained in subsequent years, for the Strategy for 2025-2028.
Targets were set in consultation with the units involved in their pursuit.
239

and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
17.9.4. PROCESSES FOR REMEDIATION OF NEGATIVE IMPACTS AND CHANNELS
FOR REPORTING VIOLATIONS
[S1-3] A Communication from the Director of the Human Resources Department was addressed to all
Bank Millennium employees on the introduction of the Procedure for dealing with reports from
employees, including those suggesting bullying or discrimination. The procedure specifies in detail
how an employee may submit a report and how the investigation proceeds.
Any employee in possession of information or a reasonable suspicion of a breach of the law, applicable
policies, procedures or provisions of the Bank Millennium Group’s Code of Ethics is required to report
such information promptly through any of the dedicated reporting channels.
The report may be sent by email to: NARUSZENIA@BANKMILLENNIUM.PL or directly to the Director of
the Human Resources Department. The report may be sent from the company’s mailbox or
anonymously from an external domain or may be placed personally by the employee in a special HR
correspondence box (located in the Bank), or sent by mail.
The HR Department maintains a register in which all reports of violations are recorded. They are
reported to the Process and Operational Risk Committee. The processing of a report is carried out on
the basis of a procedure that describes the detailed course of analysis of such reports.
The investigative activities carried out are mainly individual interviews, conversations and anonymous
questionnaires conducted with the employee group in question. If bullying or discrimination is
confirmed, the Bank implements adequate measures, to be reviewed and verified as part of internal
management processes.
A summary of the steps taken and explanations carried out is documented and presented in the form
of a report to the Management Board Member overseeing the affected unit, the President of the
Management Board and the Director of the Compliance Department.
There is also a separate place on the Bank’s intranet site with detailed information for employees on
countering bullying behaviours:
• what actions not to take,
• how to respond to behaviour that may constitute workplace bullying,
• how to prevent bullying from occurring.
Bank Millennium also provides employees with opportunities to bring up inquiries, concerns and
complaints regarding:
• ethical issues – to the Ethics Officer,
• conflicts of interest – to a specially designated function box,
• anti-corruption – to a specially designated function box,
• employees’ own transactions in financial instruments – to a specially designated function
box.
We ensure anonymous channels for submitting reports, the confidentiality of all whistleblowing
reports and refrain from taking any action against anyone who, in good faith, reports information
regarding potential breaches of the law and/or adopted policies, procedures or the Code of Ethics,
or who participates in the procedure for reviewing whistleblowing reports.
These measures ensure that inquiries, concerns and reports received through all designated channels
are addressed and employees receive their responses.
240
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
The Bank has internal communication systems in place to provide employees with real-time, up-to-
date information and allow them to access the information they need to perform their professional
duties and exercise their employee rights. We also enable employees to present their own information
and opinions through internal and external channels.
On an ongoing basis, we also cooperate with trade unions, with which (in the event that an employee
provides them with information about their report) we discuss the outcomes of the investigation.
[S1-17] In 2024, the Bank did not identify any work-related complaints or incidents of discrimination,
including harassment. Accordingly, it was not required to pay any fines, penalties or compensation
for damages resulting from such complaints or violations. Nor did the Bank record any incidents of
human rights violations (such as forced labour or child labour). No sanctions, fines or damages related
to human rights violations were imposed on the Bank.
17.10. PRIVACY
17.10.1. POLICIES RELATED TO PRIVACY
[S1-1] With regard to privacy, the Bank operates on the basis of the Personal data security policy in
Bank Millennium S.A., which describes the general rules regarding the protection of data processed
by the Bank. The purpose of the Policy is to define the rules for processing personal data in compliance
with the requirements of the applicable legal regulations on personal data protection.
An internal document entitled Instructions for processing personal data in Bank Millennium S.A. has
been implemented for employees hired by the Bank under an employment contract. The document is
intended to provide information and explain the principles adopted in Bank Millennium for processing
employees’ personal data.
The document contains detailed information on the purposes and duration of the employer’s
processing of employees’ personal data and the rights of employees related to the processing of their
personal data. The scope of the information provided corresponds to the requirements under EU data
protection legislation, i.e. Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council
(hereinafter: “Regulation”).
These documents are described in more detail in section 17.1 Strategy for the workforce area.
17.10.2. OBJECTIVES RELATED TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF POLICIES AND
ACTIVITIES ACTIONS TAKEN TO IMPLEMENT POLICY OBJECTIVES
[S1-4] Ensuring the privacy of employee data is an important factor in a safe working environment.
To this end, we implement the following measures (among others): conducting annual reviews and
necessary updates of the Policy, testing and evaluating the effectiveness of the technical and
organizational measures implemented and providing periodic training on data privacy. The training
Personal data protection is intended for all Bank’s employees. It is a compulsory cyclical training
repeated once a year. The Personal Data Inspector supervises the implementation of this training.
The degree of implementation of this training by Bank’s employees is monitored.
Moreover, we have adopted a process for dealing with data protection violations, where the basic
principle is to respond promptly and to treat each incident with special care.
We provide all employees with a channel for reporting violations: abuse@bankmillennium.pl.
Furthermore, any employee may contact the Data Protection Officer on all matters related to the
processing of their data via a designated email address.
241
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
Information on the principles of personal data processing and privacy policy have been uploaded to
our official Bank Millennium website at www.bankmillennium.pl/ochrona-danych
17.10.3. OBJECTIVES RELATED TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF POLICIES AND
ACTIVITIES
[S1-5] The Bank’s goal in implementing the objectives adopted in the Policy is to ensure data security.
All information provided by our employees is protected using state-of-the-art technologies, in
accordance with applicable legal standards, security requirements and confidentiality rules.
Monitoring the achievement of individual goals is supported by tools available to all employees of the
Bank, enabling their measurability and effectiveness, including: dedicated channel for reporting
violations, a system for handling training, and an HR portal for reporting problems or questions related
to the HR area.
The activities and goals for protecting employee privacy are the same as those covering Customers,
which is described in more detail in Section 19.5 Privacy.

18. WORKERS OF THE BANK MILLENNIUM GROUP’S VALUE CHAIN
(ESRS S2)
18.1. STRATEGY
[SBM-3] The Bank cooperates with many business partners, which specifically include franchisees,
brokers and suppliers of goods and services. The cooperation between the Bank Millennium Group
Companies and their business partners is regulated primarily by agency agreements (mainly for
franchisees). Agency agreements are concluded with business entities independent of the Bank, which
act on behalf of and for the account of the Bank based on powers of attorney granted by the Bank.
The Group also cooperates with brokers to whom it entrusts activities connected with intermediacy
in the sales of mortgage and leasing products (since 2021) based on agency agreements which are
usually outsourcing agreements. As for suppliers of goods and services, the key business partners
render services associated with the lease of and support for branches and office space, services and
purchase of IT equipment as well as security and marketing services.
In connection with a significant scale of cooperation with business partners, two material positive
impacts have been identified. Both material positive impacts concern working conditions for
employees in the value chain. Bank Millennium Group has not identified any adverse impacts or risks
and opportunities related to persons working in the Bank Millennium Group’s value chain, particularly
to employees of: franchisees operating on behalf of the Bank Millennium Group, suppliers of goods
and services and brokers cooperating with the Bank. We assess the impacts as positive and they follow
from the requirements regarding human rights and workers' rights, which are conditions for
cooperating with the Bank Millennium Group and also values guiding us in our activity and the adopted
business model. Both the Strategy adopted for 2022-2024 and the newest Strategy for 2025-2028 do
not refer to identified impacts in the process of double materiality analysis. In the year of the double
materiality analysis, the Bank did not identify material risks and opportunities relating to persons
working in the value chain.
[SBM-3] [S2-4] The Bank takes a number of measures aiming to achieve material positive impacts on
persons working in the value chain. The measures taken include i.a. access to a number of training
courses or standards of outlets as work establishments are the same as for employees in our own
branches and franchises. Details of performed measures and the way to track and assess their
effectiveness are presented in Chapter 17. Bank Millennium Group employees (ESRS S1). In case of
our remaining business partners (i.e. brokers and suppliers), we mainly require them to sign and
comply with the rules found in the Sustainability Guidelines for Suppliers.
[SBM-3] Among persons working in the value chain on whom we exert positive impact, we may
distinguish employees working for entities in the entity’s value chain at a lower level (franchisees and
brokers).
The Bank has 242 partner outlets throughout the territory of Poland, where a total of 870 people
work, including - 169 people acting as managers of the outlets, and 143 people representing
franchisees (business entities cooperating with the Bank). 49% employees are women. 87% outlets are
located in towns with population below 50 thousand inhabitants, due to which employees may be
recruited from the local labour market.
The Group purchases goods and services primarily from domestic suppliers (according to the data
concerning issued invoices), operating in the same legal and ethical system as the Bank, i.e. they are
obliged to, among others, compliance with employment principles provided for in the Labour Code.
[SBM-2] A description of the impact of interests, views and rights of persons working in the value
chain on the Bank’s strategy and business model is described in sub-chapter 15.3.2. Key
stakeholders.
243
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
18.2. MANAGEMENT OF IMPACTS, RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES
[S2-1] All business partners are obliged to adhere to the Code of Ethics of the Bank Millennium Group,
which includes a number of principles regarding human rights and workers' rights in compliance with
the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights, addressing, among others, issues of human trafficking,
forced or compulsory labour and child labour. The issues of respecting human rights are also described
in the Diversity Policy as well as in anti-discrimination and anti-harassment procedures. These
documents are described in more detail in section 17.1. Strategy for the workforce area (ESRS S1-1).
The condition follows from the endeavour to consolidate the policies across the value chain of the
Bank Millennium Group with respect to all individuals cooperating with us. The group of stakeholders
for whom it is especially important to observe ethical principles are employees of our franchise
(partner) outlets, which are an important distribution channel for products offered by the Bank.
Because of the lack of appropriate tools, the Bank does not monitor the compliance with the principles
following from the above documents by business partners.
Our franchisees are bound by provisions of the Code of Ethics of the Bank Millennium Group, which
the agency agreement explicitly refers to, granting it the status of the so called “internal regulation”,
which the franchisee is obliged to comply with. To supplement the Code of Ethics, in the franchise
model used by the Bank, there is an absolute rule that each person employed by a franchisee and
authorized to act on behalf of Bank Millennium must have an employment contract, which entails the
necessity to apply provisions of the Labour Code to such employees. Franchisees, on the other hand,
as entrepreneurs are tied directly to the Bank by the agency agreement.
The Bank decided to introduce such a solution for several reasons, which include:
• ensuring observance of the Banking Law with regard to sub-outsourcing,
• ensuring utmost protection of employees of franchise branches as provided for in the Labour
Code,
• ensuring a uniform approach to responsibility and risk management of anyone acting on behalf
of the Bank.
The Code of Ethics is described in detail in Chapter 20. Business Conduct (ESRS G1).
[S2-1] The rules of cooperation with suppliers of Bank Millennium are described in the Instructions
for the selection of suppliers for procurement and outsourcing, which was adopted by a Management
Note of the Deputy Chairman of the Bank Millennium S.A. Management Board. These instructions
define, among other things, how the procurement process is organized, the roles played by the various
process participants and the supplier selection criteria. Suppliers are selected in tenders, which
allows the Bank to use objective selection criteria. To ensure transparency of the procurement
process, the substantive and commercial evaluations of bids are done by independent Bank units.
Monitoring the correct compliance with the Instructions for the selection of suppliers for
procurement and outsourcing is part of the tasks of the Internal Audit Department.
The Bank’s suppliers selected in tenders (regardless of the geographical location of the entity’s
registered office) are obliged to adhere to not only the requirements of the Code of Ethics of the
Bank Millennium Group but also to accept the ESG principles (Sustainability Guidelines for Suppliers)
including also compliance with law; compliance with human rights and workers' rights; prevention,
health and security for employees; environmental protection; improvement of management process.
Acceptance of the above issues is required already at the stage of entering tenders by signing a
relevant statement by the supplier, which is supervised by the Central Procurement Department.
Sustainability Guidelines for Suppliers have been accepted by the Bank’s Management Board Member,
and it is the Central Procurement Department which is responsible for their implementation in Bank.
The responsibility for reviews of the document, carried out every two years, and for updating it rests
with the Sustainability Department, in cooperation with the Central Procurement Department. The
Bank does not monitor the observance of the principles described in the guidelines by external
partners because of the lack of tools in this regard.
244
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
Furthermore, our suppliers are encouraged to provide additional information using an ESG survey and
undertake to cooperate with Bank in providing information making it possible to assess the conformity
of the processes with the above principles by verification measures, including survey interviews or
visits to the place where business activity is conducted. To prove the assumed obligations to
implement the above principles, suppliers:
• shall develop a code of conduct binding employees,
• may prepare a sustainability policy,
• shall provide information about sustainability (e.g. initiatives implemented in the
environmental or social areas) internally or outside of the company.
The undertaking of our suppliers to adhere to Sustainability Guidelines for Suppliers and the Code of
Ethics implemented in the entire Millennium Group is an important element of the Bank’s
procurement regulations aimed to make the Bank’s impact in the whole value chain more coherent
and to prevent potential adverse impacts on any employees engaged in the Bank’s activity.
[S2-2] As at 31 December 2024, the Bank did not implement a general cooperation procedure for
people working in the value chain.
[S2-3] The Bank, while promoting ethical values and establishing processes allowing for minimizing
adverse impacts, provides employees (also those employed by franchisees, or people working in the
value chain) as well as suppliers and brokers with the opportunity to report violations of ethical
standards by email or by traditional mail (also anonymously). Whenever an irregularity is discovered
in the business conduct of the Bank’s employees (other than Management Board Members), it may be
reported by e-mail to a dedicated address or by a letter sent directly to the President of the Bank’s
Management Board (this channel ensures the whistleblower’s anonymity). As regards the
identification of irregularities in the business conduct of the Bank’s Management Board Members or
Supervisory Board Members, the respective report should be made by letter directly to the Chairman
of the Audit Committee of the Bank’s Supervisory Board. Details can be found in Chapter 20. Business
Conduct, in sub-chapter 20.3. Whistleblower reporting and protection. The Bank provides franchise
employees with Reporting Violations at Bank Millennium training, which is repeated annually. The
Bank does not assess and monitor whether workers in the value chain trust the process described
above as a system for reporting, resolving and addressing their concerns and needs.
[S2-4] The requirements imposed by us to adhere to the Code of Ethics of the Millennium Group both
by our franchisees and suppliers are aimed to ensure for all individuals working in the Bank’s value
chain that their employers’ conduct complies with law and the best practices of ethical conduct. The
attitudes promoted by us include:
• zero tolerance for violations of human rights of any kind, prohibiting any form of harassment,
discrimination, coercion, abuse, violence or exploitation in the area of impact;
• respecting workers' rights, prohibiting the use of forced or child labour, and providing fair and
just remuneration, guaranteeing equal opportunities and a balance between work, family and
personal life in a work environment free of discrimination, harassment, threats and physical
or psychological aggression; providing regular training for its employees;
• identifying, monitoring and preventing hazards to avoid occupational accidents and diseases,
encouraging behaviour that promotes employees' physical and mental well-being and safety,
including the provision of appropriate protective measures and training.
The above activities will be continued in the future as well.
The documents adopted in the Bank Millennium Group, describing sustainability principles (including
the Human Rights Policy, Diversity Policy, Sustainability Guidelines for Suppliers) are made available
all the time in the ESG tab on the Bank’s website. Due to the above, the Bank’s business partners may
familiarize themselves with possible amendments introduced to currently binding policies. For the
245
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
Bank’s employees, including employees of franchise partners, information campaigns are conducted
to make them remember the prevailing principles in the area and inform them about changes to the
regulations. The latest information campaign about current sustainability principles took place in
December 2024 with an article published in the corporate intranet Świat Millennium [World of
Millennium].
[S2-4] Our suppliers undertake to cooperate in providing information making it possible to assess the
conformity of the compliance with the above principles by verification measures – responses to surveys
(to the Central Procurement Department) or visits to the place where the business activity is
conducted.
Sustainability surveys for suppliers include questions about the company's ESG efforts:
• does the company have a Sustainability Policy and communicate it to its employees,
• does the company provide sustainability information internally to its employees or outside of
the company,
• does the company have a Code of conduct binding its employees,
• does the company have environmental or social responsibility certificates.
The received surveys are delivered to the Sustainability Department.
[S2-4] The Department which is responsible for supporting our franchise partners, including ensuring
the compliance with relevant standards is the Retail Banking Department - Franchise and Instalment
Sales, which consists of the Franchise Outlet Support Division and the Hire-Purchase Division. In
addition, there is a team of Regional Directors, located in 3 Regions, managed by 3 Macroregional
Directors. The total number of employees in the Department is 35, of which 31 are directly responsible
for managing and supporting the franchise network.
Relations with suppliers are the area of responsibility of the Central Procurement Department.
Responsibility for cooperation with our leasing brokers rests with the structures of Millennium Leasing
Sp. z o.o. On the other hand, relations with brokers of mortgage loans are supervised by the Retail
Banking Marketing Department.
Management of material impacts on people working in the value chain is carried out within ongoing
operating activity of the above departments.
[S2-4] In 2024, no serious issues or incidents were reported which would concern the violation of
human rights in the Bank’s value chain. [S2-1] The Bank received no reports of cases of non-
compliance with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the International Labour
Organization’s Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work or the OECD Guidelines for
Multinational Enterprises.
18.3. BENCHMARKS AND OBJECTIVES
[S2-5] The aim of the Bank Millennium Group is to maintain the positive impact on persons working
in the value chain, therefore all the business partners accept the above ESG principles and policies.
There is no possibility of signing an agreement with the Bank or join an organized tender procedure
without a written acceptance of relevant documents regulating ESG issues, including those concerning
working conditions. In connection with this, our ambition is to cover 100% of the Group’s business
partners with our ethics and ESG principles. The objective is monitored on an ongoing basis by the
organizational units involved in handling agreements with our partners. The Bank has not set other
measurable and time-bound objectives in this area and has no plans to set such objectives in the near
future.

19. BANK MILLENNIUM CUSTOMERS (ESRS S4)
19.1. CUSTOMER STRATEGY
19.1.1. INTERESTS AND VIEWS OF STAKEHOLDERS
[SBM-2] In Bank Millennium’s value chain, customers are a key stakeholder. We target both the retail
segment, that is individual customers and micro-entrepreneurs, and, as part of corporate banking,
small, medium-sized and large companies.
In order to best respond to the needs of our customers, we thoroughly examine the feedback we
obtain from them. Our customers’ needs, expectations and feedback constitute a fundamental value
for shaping our strategy and business model, including our service model. We take this input into
account when innovating and improving the Bank’s products, services and operations.
Customer feedback is also processed in the CX Loop and Voice of Customer software (as described in
more detail in section 19.2 General customer engagement processes), based on which we make
improvements, counteract negative impacts and amplify positive impacts. We obtain these from the
following sources:
• Outlets, mobile and internet banking,
• Intranet, community forum,
• Hotline,
• Complaints,
• Satisfaction surveys.
The observance of human rights is incorporated into the main goals and commitments of the Bank
Millennium Group. For more on this, see section 19.3 Respect for human rights in customer relations.
19.1.2. MATERIAL IMPACTS, RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES AND THEIR
INTERACTION WITH STRATEGY AND BUSINESS MODEL
[SBM-3] In the course of identifying impacts, risks and opportunities in the customer area (S4:
consumers and end users), we have identified a total of ten material issues. These include five positive
impacts, three negative impacts and two risks; we have not identified any material opportunities.
The material issues are categorized under the following four sub-topics from the ESRS guidelines
(seven issues) and one sub-topic specific to a financial institution (three issues):
• [ESRS] Impact of information on consumers or end users:
1. Access to (high-quality) information.
2. Privacy.
• [ESRS] Social inclusion:
3. Responsible marketing practices.
4. Non-discrimination.
• [Sector-specific]
5. Safety of deposited funds.
Ensuring the safety of funds deposited in the bank by customers coupled with access to high-quality
information and privacy, security of personal information and bank secrecy are at the core of our
business and of what defines banking. The impacts, risks and opportunities identified in the course of
double materiality analysis are reflected in the Bank Millennium Group’s Strategy for 2025-2028 –
Value and Growth and in the Bank’s internal regulations. The Bank is ready to effectively face the
challenges of impacts and risks in the banking sector, including those identified in the double
materiality analysis. All negative impacts are of a potential nature, meaning that they may not
247
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
materialize at all in the Bank’s daily operations. However, the Bank takes into account the risk of
their occurrence.
A potential loss of safety of deposited funds and a potential breach of personal data and bank secrecy
might affect all groups of the Bank’s customers, that is both retail and corporate banking customers.
As regards cyber-attacks, the most vulnerable customer groups are seniors and teenagers, which is
why the Bank is ramping up education efforts targeted at these groups with a view to preventing data
breaches and compromising the safety of deposited funds. The impact involving potential failure to
provide customers with sufficient amount of information applies only to retail customers, as they are
the ones who may lack specialized knowledge of financial products and/or services. Due to its sector-
specific nature, the Bank is subject to regulatory requirements that entail the provision of detailed
information about the Bank’s offerings in compliance with the established legal norms.
Two of the identified material negative impacts on customers – concerning the potential loss of
security of deposited funds and potential breaches of personal data and bank secrecy are associated
with systemic external threats, such as cyber-attacks. In fact, they pose a threat to the whole banking
sector. Bank Millennium is developing its own processes to counter these threats. As regards the
impact stemming from the potential provision of insufficient information to customers, we are dealing
with both a systemic factor (namely changes in regulations or their interpretation) and factors
involving proper management on the Bank’s side of the dissemination of information to consumers.
In the Bank, we take numerous steps boosting the positive impact on our stakeholders. As regards
customers, the Bank’s material positive impacts pertain to activities in the areas of safety of
deposited funds, privacy, access to (high-quality) information, responsible marketing practices and
non-discrimination (inclusive banking).
In the area of safety of deposited funds, cybersecurity plays a crucial role. In addition to continuous
monitoring and improvements to IT solutions, we conduct frequent audits and tests of our information
systems – both external and internal. We have adopted an information security management model
that defines a comprehensive system for protecting all information processed by the Bank, including
information about customers. We constantly examine new threats and the methods used by criminals.
We have established a special team to ensure the security of all channels used to access our products
and services. It is also crucial to raise the maturity of employees in the area of cybersecurity, which
is why we take care of the provision of education and the verification of knowledge internally in our
organization. Moreover, we educate various customer groups, including seniors, teenagers and
parents of younger children. We join sector-wide activities. We also publish warnings about new
methods applied by criminals on our website and in our electronic channels:
www.bankmillennium.pl/bankowosc-elektroniczna/bezpieczenstwo?languageChange=true.
In terms of privacy, that is the security of our customers’ personal data, we have put in place
appropriate processes, policies and responsibilities (Data Protection Officer). We are ceaselessly
improving our technical and organizational measures to ensure the protection of personal data
processing. The rules for our processing of personal data are presented each time in an information
clause – customers have the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the information clause before
they enter into a contract for banking products or services and they may also read its wording posted
on the Bank’s website at any time.
We also prevent data breaches by conducting educational activities targeted at employees.
Customers’ personal data are additionally covered by banking secrecy.
To ensure that our customers receive high-quality information from us, we focus strongly on
compliance of documentation and customer service with all applicable regulatory requirements. We
thoroughly review and approve our products in accordance with internally adopted guidelines. We
keep monitoring regulatory progress to identify changes and implement them in the Bank’s internal
rules. We apply the service and sales standards we have introduced to reduce the risk of unethical
sales and providing insufficient information to customers. We monitor and regularly evaluate
248
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
compliance with the standards as well as the scope and quality of information we provide to our
customers.
We have also adopted internal regulations laying down the principles for creating our information and
advertising materials. They must comply with legal regulations and good practices defined by the
Polish Financial Supervision Authority, the Polish Bank Association, the Advertising Council, the
Advertising Ethics Commission and other pertinent institutions. They precisely define the steps we
must take during the process of preparing and publishing advertising materials. These steps help us
ensure that the Bank’s products and services are communicated in a clear and comprehensible
manner.
As regards inclusive banking, that is non-discrimination, we conduct activities oriented towards the
search for innovative and inclusive (anti-exclusion) products and distribution channels and in our
approach to customer service. We have identified two risks: that of potential data leakage, loss of
trust and financial losses due to cyber-attacks, and the risk arising from increasing consumer
protection resulting from the regulator’s actions in the local and European markets, which may trigger
certain compliance, financial and reputational risks, requiring sectoral proactive dialogue with the
regulator and early identification of the potential impact of new requirements. In our Strategy for
2025-2028, we directly address how to manage these risks in order to effectively mitigate them.
In the area of cybersecurity, we will continue to steadily ramp up our technological and organizational
resilience to protect our organization against current and future cyber risks. In terms of mitigating
the risks associated with increasing consumer protection, we will continue to actively participate in
sector-driven initiatives and dialogue with the regulator as well as emphasize early identification of
potential impacts of proposed changes.
19.2. GENERAL CUSTOMER ENGAGEMENT PROCESSES
[S4-2] The Bank’s goal is to build the best possible customer experience in the daily use of our
services, to understand their needs and potential barriers they face in their relationship with the
Bank. We make sure that the degree of customer satisfaction with our services is constantly
increasing, which is why we listen to customer opinions and thoroughly review any comments and
needs they report.
Our customers are welcome to provide their feedback through a variety of channels: at the outlet, by
phone, through electronic banking, by letter and in mobile app stores. We thoroughly analyse the
information about the perceived imperfections, but also the needs that customers report to us, and
use it to improve our products and processes.
We involve customers at the design stage of the Bank’s digital solutions. For more than ten years now,
the Bank has had a UX Lab, where researchers conduct in-depth analyses, user interviews and test
new solutions. Customers are always at the centre of new solutions – all projects and implemented
improvements in online banking and applications are inspired by their needs, habits, language and
the world surrounding them.
Moreover, cooperation with customers is carried out through the complaints process we have put in
place. It is supported by the VOC (Voice of Customer) complaint cause elimination program. It strives
to detect and eliminate any potential irregularities by carefully examining customer requests. The
details of customer requests are consulted with process owners and substantive units. This is aimed
at rectifying irregularities, changing processes and, as a consequence, preventing any future potential
complaints. As part of the complaint process, we provide the customer with a response through the
customer’s preferred channel of contact. In each and every instance when the customer’s
expectations are not met, we indicate the available paths of appealing against the decision made.
With regard to identified impacts, the Bank strives to ensure that all customer feedback is addressed
properly. Customer feedback is forwarded to the units put in charge of managing the impact in
249
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
question, and it is then their job to examine the request. In many cases, further processing depends
on the type of customer feedback. The Bank, as an institution of public trust operating in a regulated
financial market is subject to sector-specific laws. This includes cybersecurity activities and ensuring
the privacy of customer data. This means that the Bank, acting in the best interest of the customer,
takes customer feedback into account in compliance with all applicable regulations.
The Quality Department and, in terms of designing digital solutions, the Electronic Banking
Department are responsible for customer cooperation processes. Both these units report to the Bank’s
pertinent Management Board Member.
Assessment of the effectiveness of cooperation with customers is reflected in the Bank’s customer
satisfaction surveys and in the ongoing monitoring of Voice of Customer (VOC) program notifications.
19.3. RESPECT FOR HUMAN RIGHTS IN CUSTOMER RELATIONS
[S4-1] The observance of human rights is incorporated into the main goals and commitments of the
Bank Millennium Group. The Group’s conducts its business on the basis of social responsibility, in
particular by pursuing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. As the Bank Millennium
Group, we are committed to respecting human rights, ensuring compliance with the provisions of
Polish and international law (including the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights) and
the 10 Principles of the UN Global Compact, and defining internal practices and procedures in this
area. The document that lays down our approach to the protection of and respect for human rights is
our Human Rights Compliance Policy. This document has been put in place as part of our Sustainability
Policy, and is available to customers on the Bank’s website. The Bank’s Management Board is
responsible for approving and implementing the document.
We treat customers with respect, prohibiting any and all forms of discrimination based on any aspect
of diversity, including origin, gender, sexual orientation, family situation, nationality, ethnicity,
religion, social status and political beliefs, as well as any individual physical characteristics, health
conditions or disabilities. We provide financial products and services tailored to the individual needs
of our customers. We adopt policies and procedures that provide an adequate approach to customers,
while observing their right to privacy and ensuring the confidentiality and security of their data. We
promote sustainable financing by encouraging customers to engage in a sustainable transition of their
businesses.
The Human Rights Compliance Policy also governs mechanisms for evaluating and monitoring
compliance with human rights. With respect to customers, these include promoting the provisions of
the Code of Ethics among the Bank’s employees, monitoring risks of non-compliance with human
rights, providing a special confidential (anonymous, if so chosen) channel for reporting irregularities
and breaches, including in the area of human rights, and implementing a process for examining any
detected incidents. The Policy covers actions with respect to all Group customers.
In Bank Millennium, we treat each case of violation individually. In the event of a potential violation
of human rights, the processes put in place by the Bank will ensure that appropriate corrective steps
are taken.
The Human Rights Compliance Policy is aligned with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human
Rights in terms of the company’s policy-level commitment to take responsibility for respecting human
rights by putting procedures and solutions in place for taking remedial action in the event of a
negative impact on human rights caused or contributed to by the Bank. According to the Guiding
Principless, the Policy gets approved at the company’s highest level, is based on the knowledge and
experience accumulated within the Bank, includes the Bank’s human rights expectations for
employees, business partners and others directly related to its operations, is publicly available on the
Bank’s website, and is reflected in the Bank’s day-to-day operations. The Bank will be implementing
the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD). These activities will be associated with
250
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
a re-review of the compliance of the Bank’s internal documents pertaining to respect for human rights
with universally applicable guidelines (for example, the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human
Rights, the International Labour Organization’s Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at
Work and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises).
Within the Bank Millennium Group’s own operations, no cases were reported of non-compliance with
the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the International Labour Organization’s
Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work or the OECD Guidelines for Multinational
Enterprises that affected any customers.
In 2024, no human rights violations were reported in the area of customer relations.
19.4. SAFETY OF DEPOSITED FUNDS
19.4.1. POLICIES RELATED TO THE SAFETY OF DEPOSITED FUNDS
[S4-1] Ensuring safety of the funds deposited by customers is a priority in the activity of the Bank
Millennium Group. As part of our double materiality analysis, we have identified a topic specific to
Bank Millennium: impacts on consumers or end users related to the safety of deposited funds. Under
this topic, we have identified the risk of data leakage, loss of trust and financial losses due to cyber-
attacks, the potential negative impact related to compromising the safety of deposited funds due to
cyber-attacks, and the actual positive impact resulting from our cybersecurity measures. Our
management of this area is based on activities compliant with our internal security regulations,
including the Bank’s Security Policy, the Bank’s Digital Resilience Strategy and the Security Incident
Handling Procedure.
The Bank’s Security Policy supports the organization’s assurance of compliance with regulations,
industry standards and regulatory expectations in the area of security, which is crucial for maintaining
reputation and trust among our stakeholders, including customers. The Policy provides the basis for
planning, implementing and maintaining: the information system security in the Bank, the physical
security in the Bank, and the business continuity program.
The Policy defines the framework and direction for the protection of the Bank’s physical and
information assets through the establishment of effective security management mechanisms,
including in the areas of ICT risk management, by countering adverse events and taking corrective
actions as they occur. The Policy establishes rules for the pursuit of tasks related to security in its
broadest sense and serves as the glue of all of the Bank’s procedures, regulations and standards in
this area. The Policy is developed on an ongoing basis by the Security Department. The Bank’s
Management Board is responsible for approving, implementing and modifying the Policy.
The Bank’s Digital Resilience Strategy is a document describing Bank Millennium’s ICT risk
management strategy, which seeks to minimize ICT risks with a view to ensuring data integrity,
confidentiality, availability and authenticity as well as the Bank’s business continuity, regulatory
compliance, cost optimization, process improvement, fostering innovation and maintaining a
favourable image and customer confidence.
The Strategy includes the management of various ICT risks, including operational risk, reputational
risk, legal risk, business risk and strategic risk. The Strategy is developed on an ongoing basis by the
Security Department. The Bank’s Management Board is responsible for approving, implementing and
monitoring the Strategy.
Key objectives of ICT risk management include:
• Ensuring data integrity, confidentiality, availability and authenticity.
251
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
• Business continuity: supporting the process of ensuring the continuity of the Bank’s ICT
operations, even in circumstances involving disruptions to or failure of ICT systems.
• Regulatory compliance: ensuring the Bank’s compliance with applicable regulations on digital
resilience, data protection, user privacy and other technology-related issues.
• Cost optimization: minimizing technology management expenses by efficiently allocating
resources and avoiding unnecessary investments.
• Process improvement: identifying and minimizing ICT risks to improve the Bank’s processes
and operations.
• Innovation and growth: supporting the Bank’s innovation and growth by enabling the secure
deployment of new technologies and solutions.
• Image and trust: maintaining a positive image and trust of customers, business partners and
stakeholders by ensuring a secure and reliable technological environment.
The Security Incident Handling Procedure describes detailed rules for handling information security
incidents. The Procedure covers the identification, reporting, analysis, remediation and closure of
incidents. The document includes definitions of key terms such as information security incident, cyber
threat, ICT incident and major ICT incident.
The Procedure is designed to ensure compliance with applicable legal requirements and security
standards, including ENISA guidelines, NCS Act, GDPR and DORA. The document also includes
information on incident handling responsibilities and the organizational structure of incident
management teams.
The Procedure is developed, approved and deployed by the Director of the Security Department
(CISO).
These regulations were revised last year and supplemented with the requirements of the upcoming
Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA). The Bank’s internal regulators serve the prevention and
identification of various risks related to the conduct of banking business, among other tasks.
In the Bank, all internal regulations are reviewed at least annually by the document owner, that is
the unit director/process owner responsible for developing the regulation. The document owner
updates the document on an as-needed basis.
The Security Department is in charge of monitoring compliance with the assumptions of the internal
regulations put in place for the security of deposited funds, as mentioned earlier in this section, and
for reviewing and updating these documents. To this end, it applies the tools (for instance, ongoing
reports and monitoring of critical indicators) established in respect of specific processes, thus
enabling the continuous monitoring of activities and evaluation of their effectiveness. The information
security management system consists of a set of the documented processes and regulations in force
in the Bank and in the part aligned with the profile of the activity they conduct. The Bank’s ITC
security management system complies with both the National Cyber Security System Act and the
previously mentioned DORA.
Commitments to respect human rights at Bank Millennium, including in respect of the safety of
deposited funds, are presented collectively for all relevant impacts in section 19.3 Compliance with
human rights in customer relations.
19.4.2. GENERAL CUSTOMER ENGAGEMENT PROCESSES IN TERMS OF THE
SAFETY OF DEPOSITED FUNDS
[S4-2] In the process of ensuring the safety of funds deposited by customers, the Bank cooperates
with customers both at the operational level in the event of a security incident and by building
customer awareness of digital threats.
252
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
In the event of a cyber-attack, we use several mechanisms to work with customers to ensure effective
protection and reduce any damage to a minimum in accordance with the Security Incident Handling
Procedure described in the section above. First of all, we notify customers of the threat and provide
instructions on how to secure their accounts. We monitor and prevent the execution of suspicious
transactions to thwart any further losses. We also cooperate with law enforcement agencies and
Internet service providers with a view to shutting down fraudulent sites.
In practice, cooperation with the customer is as follows: when an incident is detected, the customer
is promptly notified of the threat and provided with detailed instructions on what to do next. The
Bank monitors the situation and takes corrective action, such as preventing the execution of suspicious
transactions and cooperating with relevant authorities. The customer is kept informed of the progress
and actions taken by the Bank to resolve the problem.
Cooperation with the customer also includes a standard complaint path, which is more dynamic in the
case of active cyber-attacks. Details on the complaint process are provided in section
19.9 Remediation of negative impacts.
In terms of building customer awareness of digital threats, the Bank conducts educational activities,
as described in more detail in section 19.4.3 Measures to ensure the safety of deposited funds.
Details on general customer engagement processes are described in section 19.2 General customer
engagement processes.
19.4.3. MEASURES TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF DEPOSITED FUNDS
[S4-4] In Bank Millennium, we carry out a number of activities aimed at managing the risks and
impacts identified in our double materiality analysis focused on the safety of deposited funds. We
keep confidential any information on the processes by which we determine the type of measures to
be taken or how we assess their effectiveness. At the same time, we ensure that the activities we do
carry out are appropriate and effective. They are conducted on the basis of best market practices
and expertise of the Bank’s experts.
We regularly subject our information systems to security audits/tests – both external and internal
ones. In addition to the audits required by the provisions of the National Cyber Security System Act,
performed at least once every two years, the Bank carries out a number of pertinent audits/tests on
an as-needed basis. The audit processes concern systems in operation, with a particular focus on
systems that process customer data, systems made available online as well as modifications, new
solutions and systems that are being rolled out. In connection with the DORA requirements being
introduced, the Bank is preparing to participate in mandatory Threat-Led Penetration Tests (TLPTs),
which will be carried out in accordance with the recommendations of the Polish Financial Supervision
Authority. TLPTs are a key component under DORA to assess the resilience of financial institutions to
advanced cyber threats.
The accepted information security management model determines the comprehensive system for
protecting all information processed in the Bank, including information on customers, employees,
business partners and transactions. In order to achieve this goal, we use a broad range of
organizational, procedural and technical measures, and in particular device protection mechanisms,
systems, applications, databases and communication channels. The information security management
model was constructed to safeguard against influence being exerted by key risks such as a potential
loss of information concerning financial transactions, a leak of confidential information and
inaccessibility of services.
We use our best efforts to ensure the protection of customers’ funds and privacy. To this end, risk
analyses are conducted both before the preparation of new products and services and globally -
describing the whole ICT environment of the Bank.
253
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
We attach particular importance to the security of our customers using electronic channels to access
banking products and services and we continue to improve technical and operational security
measures. We have been using tested and safe methods to confirm identity of IT system users and we
continue to develop them to ensure safe and convenient access to the Bank’s systems. Our customers
may use innovative identification methods such as biometry.
New threats and methods employed by criminals are undergoing constant analysis to be able to
counter them even more effectively. In addition, we have been actively collaborating with other
financial sector entities in Poland and internationally, sharing our knowledge about the latest threats,
trends and the evolving methods of abuse.
The data and resources of our Bank’s customers remain under constant oversight of a dedicated
specialist team ensuring security of all the channels used to access our products and services. Within
the Bank’s organizational structure, a unit has been established and put in charge of ensuring security
in the broadest sense, with teams that deal with all aspects of security: from physical security, to all
aspects of cyber security and ICT security, to fraud risk management. Also, within this security unit,
a dedicated team is responsible for performing ongoing vulnerability checks on the Bank’s systems.
Such checks are performed on a continuous basis. The Bank acts proactively against potential security
incidents through monitoring and ongoing operation of the Security Operation Center (24/7).
We educate various customer groups, including seniors, teenagers and parents of younger children.
The Bank joins sector-wide activities coordinated by the Polish Bank Association, but also conducts
its own communication activities. Educational messages are directed to customers through various
channels, including the mobile application, online banking and social media. We also publish warnings
about new methods applied by criminals on our website and in our electronic channels:
www.bankmillennium.pl/bankowosc-elektroniczna/bezpieczenstwo#zasady-bezpieczenstwa.
In each case, the Bank tailors the content of its communications to the needs of the specific customer
group and seeks new, more accessible forms of expression – in 2024, we used push-video for the first
time in educational campaigns conducted in the Bank’s channels. We also study customer
expectations and their reception of these communications. We conduct qualitative research in the
Bank’s UX Lab and quantitative research using third parties. Based on the research and historical
data, we build customer profiles for personalized educational communications.
The obligatory educational program applicable to all employees forms a major part of our information
security system. It contains a set of information about the best practices in personal data protection,
banking secrets, company secrets and other confidential data. Employees are trained regularly on the
rules for preventing abuse and ensuring protection of the customers’ funds and data. Additionally, a
number of technical safeguards operating in a multi-layer model (defence in depth) have been
implemented in this area. Moreover, we conduct regular controlled phishing campaigns, thereby
further increasing the level of security maturity of our employees. The Bank monitors the delivery of
training efforts in security-related areas, including digital security, by employees, and reports the
outcomes to the units responsible for monitoring risk indicators.
In order to achieve a positive impact in terms of the safety of deposited funds, we are taking numerous
measures in the cybersecurity area. This is done primarily to support the Bank’s innovation and
development by enabling the secure implementation of new technologies and solutions as well as the
early identification and minimization of ICT risks to improve the Bank’s operational processes and
activities. Furthermore, we are focused on educating various customer groups, including seniors,
teenagers and parents of younger children, about cybersecurity.
In order to mitigate the negative impact of potential cyber-attacks on the financial system and public
trust, it is absolutely crucial to ensure a secure and reliable technological environment. To this end,
our process for ensuring the continuity of the Bank’s ICT operations, taking into account any
disruptions and failures of ICT systems, plays a significant role. As part of the process, we take steps
254
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
to minimize potential inconvenience to customers and take into account the provision of relevant
information to stakeholders, commensurate with the level of threat and potential consequences
resulting from possible attacks.
To manage the risk of loss of safety of deposited funds due to a cyber-attack, we take care to ensure
the integrity, confidentiality, availability and authenticity of data. We proactively operate a Security
Operation Center (available 24/7) and conduct ongoing monitoring to promptly respond to any
potential security incidents. On a continuous basis, we perform ongoing vulnerability checks on the
Bank’s systems. We also use the best technological and organizational solutions to ensure the security
of our ICT environment.
Our goal is to ensure a high degree of security of customer funds by identifying and minimizing risks
associated with cyber-attacks and other ICT threats. All these activities are continuous in nature and
are developed and improved on an ongoing basis.
In order to monitor the safety of customer funds, including in the context of cyber-security, we
implement a number of activities and use various tools. The primary elements of these endeavours
include key performance indicators (KPIs) and key risk indicators (KRIs) for ICT security. For instance,
we monitor the number of ICT security incidents related to receiving or attempting to send unsolicited
content. Monitoring is carried out on an ongoing basis, and reports are generated quarterly. For
security incidents, reporting is performed both internally and to external authorities. We use
advanced tools to analyse and monitor transactions and ICT systems. We use incident classification in
accordance with ENISA’s Reference Incident Classification Taxonomy.
Monitoring results are reported to the units responsible for risk monitoring and to the Bank’s
Management Board. In the event of serious incidents, reports are also submitted to the national or
sectoral Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT).
The Bank refrains from disclosing information on specific targets, metrics and ways to track and
evaluate activities in the area of safety of customer funds. These constitute company secrets.
In our opinion, the Bank’s own practices in the area of security of customer funds do not cause or
contribute to any significant negative impacts on customers.
The Bank has put in place appropriate organizational structures to effectively manage the identified
impacts and risks, and provides resources for the operation of such structures. In this respect, a key
role is played by the Security Department, which has been put in charge of ensuring the security of
the organization by managing both physical and information-related risks. The Department’s key tasks
focus on identifying potential risks and on developing and implementing strategies to minimize them.
The Security Department cooperates with the Bank’s other organizational units and external
regulators to ensure business continuity and improve security.
19.4.4. OBJECTIVES RELATED TO THE PURSUIT OF POLICIES AND ACTIVITIES
[S4-5] Security objectives are among the important elements of our strategy. In Bank Millennium’s
People Inspire Us Strategy for 2022-2024, security, including cybersecurity, and a proactive approach
to countering threats was one of 17 strategic initiatives.
These activities continue and are also included in the Bank’s Strategy for 2025-2028, entitled Strategy
2028 – Value and growth. The technology development plan, which is designed to support business
strategy initiatives and provide security to our customers and the organization, is broken down into
seven areas. One of these areas is digital resilience and security, under which the following two main
goals have been specified:
• Continuous enhancement of technological and organizational resilience to protect the Bank
and its customers from current and future cybersecurity risks.
255
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
• Further development of information and communications technology (ICT) risk management
to prepare for new threats.
Strategic goals are monitored and reported on a quarterly basis. The Bank refrains from disclosing
information on the details of its targets, their baselines and desired levels related to the security of
customer funds. These constitute company secrets.
We cooperate with other players in the Polish financial market with a view to exchanging experience
and information, including information on cyber threats. In the process of setting targets for resilience
and digital security, the Bank has used the knowledge and experience of its experts without any input
from customers in this regard.
19.5. PRIVACY
19.5.1. POLICIES RELATED TO PRIVACY
[S4-1] In Bank Millennium, we process personal data in order to operate bank accounts, securely
execute instructions, perform obligations imposed by law on the Bank, and to inform the market about
new services and products. Acting as a data controller, we make every effort to meet the
requirements of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April
2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the
free movement of such data and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (General Data Protection Regulation)
("GDPR”) and thus protect personal data. Personal data of Bank Millennium’s customers, in accordance
with banking law, are also covered by banking secrecy, which entails the obligation to provide even
more far-reaching data protection.
To ensure compliance with the requirements of GDPR, we have adopted the Bank Millennium Personal
Data Security Policy. The purpose of the Policy is to define the rules for processing personal data in
compliance with the requirements of the applicable legal regulations on personal data protection.
The Policy establishes general rules for the processing of personal data, which should be observed
and applied by all persons processing personal data in Bank Millennium, both in IT systems and
traditionally (in paper form). The principles described in the Policy enable effective management of
the identified impacts: the potential negative impact associated with a breach of personal data
protection and the actual positive impact resulting from actions to ensure the privacy, confidentiality
and security of customer data. Actions taken under the Policy are monitored by a unit established
especially for this purpose: the Personal Data Protection Department. The Department monitors
legislation on an ongoing basis and, in the event of changes in legislation, makes recommendations
for changes to the Bank’s existing internal regulations.
The Bank Millennium Personal Data Security Policy establishes general rules for the processing of
personal data, which should be observed and applied by all persons processing personal data in Bank
Millennium. The scope of the Policy includes the following issues:
• Principles of personal data processing,
• Responsibilities of the Data Protection Officer,
• Rights and responsibilities of IT systems users,
• Data processing transparency,
• Data subjects' rights,
• Data processing risk analysis and impact assessment,
• Subcontracting of personal data processing and data sharing,
• Technical and organizational measures to ensure the security of personal data,
• Handling of data breaches.
256
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
Within the framework of the adopted rules for the processing of personal data, the Bank ensures that
only certain persons with relevant authorization and rights have access to personal data. Access
control is implemented both by restricting access to rooms where paper-based information is stored
and by ensuring that appropriate procedures are in place for access to all sets of personal data in
electronic form.
Personal data entrusted to the Bank may be processed only based on a valid legal basis for such
processing in respect of each instance of personal data processing.
Each employee of the Bank is required to comply with the Policy. The Bank’s Management Board is
responsible for approving, implementing and modifying the Policy.
The Personal Data Protection Department is responsible for monitoring compliance with the Personal
Data Security Policy. Monitoring is carried out on a continuous basis as part of reviewing processes,
documents, contracts and others. Moreover, as part of the handling of incidents, the Department
recommends taking appropriate mitigating actions.
On the website https://www.bankmillennium.pl/en/data-protection?languageChange=true, we
provide detailed information for customers on personal data processing in Bank Millennium and our
privacy policy. This site includes documents containing detailed information on the processing of
personal data in Bank Millennium, as well as information on customers’ rights in this area.
Commitments to respect human rights at Bank Millennium, including in respect of personal data
protection, are presented collectively for all relevant impacts in section 19.3 Respect for human
rights in customer relations.
19.5.2. CUSTOMER ENGAGEMENT PROCESSES IN TERMS OF PRIVACY
[S4-2] The principles of personal data protection and banking secrecy of the Bank’s customers are
governed by the laws that form the basis for conducting the business of a financial institution (in
particular: GDPR, Personal Data Protection Act, Banking Law). Accordingly, the Bank is absolutely
required to act in accordance with the provisions of the legislation. Moreover, the process for working
with customers in the area of privacy follows directly from the applicable regulations.
To this end, the Bank, acting as a personal data controller, has appointed a Data Protection Officer
to monitor compliance with data protection laws and policies adopted by the Bank. Data subjects may
contact the Data Protection Officer on all matters related to the processing of their personal data
and the exercise of their rights under GDPR.
The Data Protection Officer’s contact details are published on the Bank’s website and are included in
the wording of information obligations provided to customers.
The Bank’s customers enjoy a number of rights regarding their personal data, including the right to
access, change, restrict the processing of such data, and the right to withdraw consents granted for
particular purposes of data processing. To this end, they may contact the Data Protection Officer
directly, as well as the Bank’s employees in branches, through the TeleMillennium hotline, may submit
a request in the Millenet Internet banking system, and may send a letter to the Bank Millennium
address.
The Bank is required to provide the information requested by the customer in accordance with the
time limits set by law.
In the event of any irregularities identified in data processing, the Bank must take all reasonable
corrective measures. Any personal data collected in violation of the law or any personal data that are
incorrect or unnecessary in light of the purposes of their processing must be rectified or deleted.
257
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
Details on general customer engagement processes are described in section 19.2 General customer
engagement processes.
19.5.3. MEASURES RELATED TO PRIVACY
[S4-4] In Bank Millennium, we process customers’ personal data using technical and organizational
resources necessary to ensure the security of such data. Personal data are among the Bank’s key
resources, which is why their security is a top priority for us. The activities carried out by the Bank
enable effective management of any identified privacy impacts.
Key activities conducted by the Bank in this area are as follows:
• Continuous improvement of the technical and organizational resources used to ensure the
protection of personal data processing, in particular the protection of data against
unauthorized access, loss or unauthorized alteration. The goal is to ensure the broadest
possible protection of personal data processing.
• Employees are trained to ensure the highest standards of privacy in respect of the Bank’s
customers, and personal data are covered by banking secrecy, which also imposes on us the
obligation to protect customer data to the greatest possible degree. We require all employees
to undergo periodic training on personal data protection. Each new employee is required to
participate in a training course on personal data processing immediately after hiring, while
all employees undergo refresher training annually. We monitor the degree of training
completion and strive to ensure that 100% of employees fulfil their training obligations within
the set time limit.
• Also, each time we introduce a new project or process in the Bank, we review it for its impact
on the processing of personal data, examining the risk level of the process or project for
privacy violations. The purpose of such examination is to minimize the risk of violating the
rights or freedoms of individuals.
• We have adopted a process for dealing with data protection violations, where the basic
principle is to respond promptly and to treat each incident with special care. The Bank
provides resources and properly functioning processes for responding to breaches, affecting
the mitigation of the risk of negative consequences of a breach. Details of this process are
provided in section 19.9. Remediation of negative impacts. The goal is to reduce the risk of
negative consequences of a breach of an individual’s personal data protection rights.
All of the above activities are being carried out continuously and will continue in future years as well.
The effectiveness of the activities in this area is monitored and reported on a quarterly basis. If an
increase in the number of personal data violation incidents is recorded, the Bank takes appropriate
corrective actions.
In planning its privacy activities, the Bank continuously monitors and analyses legal regulations,
performs an analysis of potential threats, and prepares the scope of its activities in accordance with
the current legal environment and ongoing threats. The Bank addresses privacy issues in all its
products and services. The Bank cooperates with industry organizations in communicating privacy and
cybersecurity risks.
In the event of a security incident resulting in a violation of customer data protection, the Bank takes
measures to reduce the incidence of such situations in the future. The measures applied are
commensurate with the cause of the violation. In particular, they include educational activities,
changes in processes and changes in IT systems.
The Bank monitors the level of incidents related to the processing of personal data, analyses the
causes of incidents and implements mitigating measures to reduce their number in the future.

Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
The Bank ensures that processes related to marketing, sales and use of data function in accordance
with legal regulations. Accordingly, the Bank’s practices do not contribute to any material negative
impacts on consumers.
In managing the broadly construed privacy process, the Bank has appropriate organizational structures
in place, including departments whose goals and tasks are related to the area of ensuring the privacy
of our customers’ data: the Data Protection Department whose job is to provide advice, support and
supervision of the fulfilment of obligations in the area of personal data processing, and the Security
Department. The Bank provides resources for the operation of these units. Moreover, the Bank
Millennium Group has had a Data Protection Officer (DPO) in place for many years to oversee proper
data processing and data protection regulations.
19.5.4. OBJECTIVES RELATED TO THE PURSUIT OF POLICIES AND ACTIVITIES
[S4-5] The goal of privacy activities is to ensure data security for customers and to reduce to minimum
the incidence of potential data violations. All information provided by our customers is protected
using state-of-the-art technologies, in accordance with applicable legal standards, security
requirements and confidentiality rules. The Bank is actively developing its privacy and customer
security systems by rolling out new organizational and technical safeguards.
19.6. ACCESS TO (HIGH-QUALITY) INFORMATION
19.6.1. POLICIES RELATED TO ACCESS TO (HIGH-QUALITY) INFORMATION
[S4-1] Bank Millennium has a number of internal regulations in place to ensure that documents
prepared for customers, and information contained in them, are reliable, transparent and in
compliance with the law. The Bank uses multi-level verification tools, the use of which suppresses
the risks and negative impacts on consumers. Every new or modified product or service in the Bank,
regardless of which customer group it is aimed at, is subject to the guidelines of the Policy for
Approval of New Products and Services and lower-level documents.
The Policy defines the general rules and procedures applicable to the marketing of new products and
modifications to existing products. The scope of the document includes:
• preparatory process for the introduction of a new product, implementation of a new service,
introduction of significant changes to existing products and services, etc.,
• opinion and approval process, which is carried out in cooperation with the Risk Department,
the Compliance Department, the Legal Department and other units that are relevant to the
product or service,
• process for setting product prices.
Lower-level documents clarify the rules of conduct for the Policy – they define the principles and
procedures applicable in Bank Millennium when marketing new products and modifying existing
products and services offered by the Bank. They include:
• details of the preparation and consultation process for the marketing of a new product or
modification of an existing product, including an analysis of compliance with the Bank’s
Strategy, an analysis of compliance with regulatory requirements, and the identification of
opinion-giving bodies for specific products,
• details of the review and decision-making process for the marketing of a new product or
modification of an existing product,
• reporting principles,
• process of taking action after obtaining approval to implement a change,
• details of the process of making changes to the price list of services,
259
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
• preparation and approval of marketing communication plans and budget,
• information on the responsibilities of the unit requesting the marketing of a new product or
modification of an existing product, and references to any other internal regulations of the
Bank – specific to the product group.
The Policy for Approval of New Products and Services and lower-level documents are internal
documents applicable to all of the Bank’s products and services targeted at both retail and corporate
customers. A review of the documents is conducted annually. The Bank’s Management Board is
responsible for approving, implementing and modifying the Policy. Ongoing monitoring of regulations
and updates of the above documents in this regard is supervised by the Compliance Department. Each
quarter, a report of the Compliance Department is prepared and presented at a meeting of the Bank’s
Management Board and the Supervisory Board Audit Committee. The report includes information on
the most material regulatory changes identified in the respective quarter, relations with regulators
(including the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection, the Polish Financial Supervision
Authority and the Financial Ombudsman), as well as information on instances of compliance risk
identified by the Compliance Department – both with generally applicable regulations and with the
guidelines of the indicated regulators.
Moreover, the Bank’s employees, while serving customers at retail outlets, are required to follow the
guidelines set forth in the Customer Service Standards for the Retail Segment. The document
organizes and structures customer service and product sales processes. It also supports the
development of high-quality customer service, establishing positive relations with customers and the
provision of transparent and reliable information to customers about the Bank’s offerings.
The guidelines set forth in the Book of Customer Service Standards obligate employees to do the
following in particular: analyse customer needs, present the Bank’s offering clearly, discuss the rules
on how the product works, present cost information, diagnose customer doubts, provide explanations
and ultimately – confirm that the rules on how the product works are comprehensible to the customer
prior to signing an agreement.
We attach great significance to the quality of customer service, including the quality of information
provided to customers. Our employees are further supported in this by Customer Call Scripts for
everyday banking products, credit products or savings and investment solutions. These scripts have
been in operation for several years and are updated and optimized successively. Each implementation
of a new script involves a mass implementation of the solution among direct customer service
employees and training sessions. All the changes made to the scripts centre on ensuring complete
transparency in terms of the information provided and customer education so that they can benefit
from the services offered by the Bank with full awareness.
We design the Models and Standards based on a thorough analysis of our customers’ preferences. We
take into account different needs, barriers and types of customers in order to best adapt to their
expectations.
The Quality Department is responsible for developing, monitoring and implementing the Customer
Service Standards and the Customer Call Scripts. The Management Board Member responsible for the
respective business line is responsible for approval. The customer engagement model and tools, when
implemented or changed, are subject to review by the Compliance Department. Monitoring of the
implementation of activities in accordance with the provisions of the Customer Service Standards and
Call Scripts is carried out through regular mystery shopper studies.
The rules of conduct described in the documents presented above enable effective management of
the identified impacts: the actual positive impact resulting from taking numerous measures to ensure
that customers have access to reliable information about product offerings in all sales channels and
the potential negative impact on retail customers related to insufficient information provided to
customers, as well as management of risks resulting from increasing consumer protection.
260
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
Commitments to respect human rights at Bank Millennium, including in the area of access to quality
information, are presented collectively for all relevant impacts in section 19.3 Respect for human
rights in customer relations.
19.6.2. CUSTOMER ENGAGEMENT PROCESSES IN TERMS OF ACCESS TO
INFORMATION
[S4-2] When marketing a new product or making changes to an existing product, the Bank ensures
that it is tailored to the needs of its users. The Bank monitors the fit of a new product or changes to
an existing product with the users, in particular by monitoring the sales process and analysing
complaints and claims made by customers.
Details on general customer engagement processes are described in section 19.2 General customer
engagement processes.
19.6.3. MEASURES RELATED TO ACCESS TO INFORMATION
[S4-4] Measures related to the provision of transparent and clear information to customers place
a strong emphasis on compliance of documentation and customer service with all applicable
regulatory requirements. Accordingly, we conduct numerous activities in this regard.
Key activities in this regard include:
• Detailed review and approval of (new and modified) products and services in accordance with
the guidelines of the New Products and Services Approval Policy and the Products and Services
Rollout Instructions. This applies to each new or modified product and service of the Bank.
As part of this process, the Compliance Department verifies the compliance risk of the
proposed product or service and the reputational risk, in particular, compliance with the
requirements to provide potential customers with adequate information before signing the
contract, obligations in terms of the contract and service regulations, information obligations
during the provision of the financial service, and areas of potential conflicts of interest. Only
products and services that have received positive feedback from the units required in the
opinion process in accordance with the Policy and Instructions (including, mandatorily, the
Compliance Department) may be processed further.
• Ongoing monitoring of regulatory progress to identify changes and implement them in the
Bank’s internal rules. Ongoing regulatory monitoring and updates are supervised by the Legal
Department and the Compliance Department. Each month, the Legal Department prepares
a newsletter containing draft or final versions of commonly applicable regulations from the
Bank’s area of interest published in the respective month. Each month, the Compliance
Department prepares a newsletter containing drafts or final versions of guidelines of the
regulators – EBA, ESMA and EIOPA – published in the respective month. Each quarter, a report
of the Compliance Department is prepared and presented at a meeting of the Bank’s
Management Board and the Supervisory Board Audit Committee. The report includes
information on the most material regulatory changes identified in the respective quarter,
relations with regulators (including the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection, the
Polish Financial Supervision Authority and the Financial Ombudsman), as well as information
on instances of compliance risk identified by the Compliance Department – both with generally
applicable regulations and with the guidelines of the indicated regulators.
• The application of service and sales standards (which include Customer Service Standards and
Call Scripts), and consequently the provision of clear and understandable product information
to customers in all sales and customer service channels.
All the employees who provide customers with information are properly trained in the scope
required by the law, sectoral regulations, best practices and quality standards implemented
261
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
by the Bank. Bank employees are informed on an ongoing basis about any significant changes
in sales and customer service, which is done through the Bank’s various internal
communication channels. The product sales process is executed on the basis of standardized
models making it possible to present an offer to customers that is adjusted to their needs and
expectations with options that may be of interest to them, along with the information
necessary to make an informed decision about the scope of the given product purchased.
Implementing service and sales standards in sales units (including ethical sales) is achieved
under the following: preliminary training, e-learning training and post-implementation
activities by the persons and units appointed to do that (including bosses).
Customer service in accordance with the Customer Service Standards and Call Scripts is
constantly monitored by the Quality Management Team – a unit specially established for this
purpose within the Quality Department. The outcomes are communicated both to the Bank’s
Management Board and to the direct superiors of the employees subject to evaluation, and
are used to take remedial efforts across the Bank. Compliance with sales standards is also
monitored independently of the Bank by using various types of service quality rankings. The
Bank attaches great importance to them and takes into account all the conclusions drawn
from them.
These initiatives are pursued to mitigate risks in the area of increased consumer protection resulting
from the regulator’s actions in the local and European markets and the negative impacts in the form
of inadequate information to customers, and support the positive impacts resulting from taking
numerous measures to ensure that customers have access to reliable information about product
offerings in all sales channels.
In planning our activities in the area of access to (high-quality) information, the Bank keeps track of
and analyses legal regulations, analyses the legal environment, follows the outcomes of surveys and
the results of external audits of customer service quality (including rankings conducted by
independent institutions or the media), and conducts its own surveys of service quality and customer
satisfaction. The Bank addresses the information obtained in the products and services it implements
and in its customer service models.
All of the above activities are being carried out continuously and will continue in future years as well.
The effectiveness of such activities is monitored and reported by the units responsible for verifying
their performance.
Monitoring and evaluation of the effectiveness of the activities carried out is carried out by means of
the Voice of Customer (VOC) program, under which we analyse customer reports, including in the
area of access to information. The program is aimed at detecting and eliminating potential
irregularities. Details of the notification are consulted with process or product owners and substantive
units to eliminate any potential irregularities and make changes to processes.
The Bank ensures that processes related to marketing, sales and use of data function in accordance
with legal regulations, including regulations covering financial products and services. Accordingly, the
Bank’s practices do not contribute to any material negative impacts on consumers.
The Bank has put in place appropriate organizational structures to effectively manage the identified
impacts and risks, and provides resources for the operation of such structures. In the area of
mitigating risks related to enhanced consumer protection, the key units involved in this process are
the business owner of the product or service, the Compliance Department and the Legal Department.
In the area of mitigating the negative impact in the form of insufficient information to customers as
well as supporting the positive impact resulting from the numerous activities related to ensuring that
customers have access to reliable information, in addition to the said units, the Quality Department
is also involved.
262
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
19.6.4. OBJECTIVES RELATED TO THE PURSUIT OF POLICIES AND ACTIVITIES
[S4-5] Reliable, clear and comprehensible information to customers serves as the basis for our
activities. Our ambition is to ensure full compliance with the law, a goal that is not measurable. The
management strategy we have adopted is based on early identification and minimization of potential
risks and ensuring regulatory compliance.
We invariably focused on this goal in 2024 and will continue this approach in the years to come. In
the Bank’s Strategy for 2025-2028, we have included the following points as core elements of our
business model, which will complement the Bank’s strategic development:
• minimizing legal risks and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements (WIBOR transit
to another benchmark, foreign currency loans, AML, KYC).
• mitigating risks in the area of consumer protection.
In accordance with the provisions of the Bank’s Strategy, we are constantly monitoring changes in
legal regulations as well as providing ongoing supervision and taking action on contractual
documentation used by the Bank. Accordingly, we will focus on active and effective participation in
sector-wide initiatives (information campaigns) and dialogue with regulators as well as early
identification of the potential impact of regulatory changes and, following these actions, defining
appropriate implementation projects.
In line with the Strategy, our goal is also to strengthen our customer experience (CX) management,
monitoring and qualitative approach in order to improve the customer experience and be in the Top 3
in the Net Promoter Score (NPS) retail customer satisfaction survey results. A crucial component in
this area is the high quality of information provided to customers.
These goals are related to impact and risk management related to providing customers with
information. In the process of setting the goals, the Bank did not cooperate directly with customers.
These activities are formulated in the Bank’s Strategy for 2025-2028. The Bank monitors the outcomes
of its activities on an ongoing basis, and reports them to the Bank’s Management Board on a quarterly
basis.
19.7. RESPONSIBLE MARKETING PRACTICES
19.7.1. POLICIES RELATED TO RESPONSIBLE MARKETING PRACTICES
[S4-1] Bank Millennium has also adopted internal regulations laying down the principles for creating
our information and advertising materials. They precisely define the steps that the Bank must follow
when preparing and publishing advertising materials for customers. This helps achieve a positive
impact related to providing clear and understandable information about the Bank’s products and
services.
1. Instructions –rules for devising informational and advertising materials for banking products and
services in Bank Millennium S.A. for insurance, loan and savings products.
The Instructions lay down the rules for devising materials on products and services offered by the
Bank (excluding financial products and instruments), which are targeted at the Bank’s customers
or potential customers. The document is designed to ensure that the materials prepared comply
with the applicable laws and internal regulations. The Instructions are approved by the President
of the Bank’s Management Board.
263
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
The document defines the process of preparing information and advertising materials targeted at
the customer through the types of communication with the customer adopted by the Bank,
including through electronic banking channels and means of remote communication. It covers the
duties of the unit preparing the materials, the process of providing opinions and granting approval.
It defines the principles of reliability and completeness of the information contained
in the materials, information on fees, commissions and non-monetary benefits, or comparison
of products. It covers all products and services of the Bank, except for financial products and
instruments.
2. Instructions – rules for devising materials, including commercial publications on products and
financial instruments in Bank Millennium S.A. for financial products and instruments.
The Instructions lay down the rules for creating materials on products and financial instruments
targeted at the Bank’s customers or potential customers. The document is designed to ensure that
the materials prepared comply with the applicable laws and internal regulations. The Instructions
are approved by the President of the Bank’s Management Board.
The document specifies in detail how the materials should be prepared, taking into account the
general principles of the standard of information and the manner of its communication, balancing
information on benefits and risks, comparisons of offerings, indication of past performance,
simulation of results and information on future performance. It also defines the method
of presentation of information about fees. It covers financial instruments within the meaning
of Article 2 of the Act of 29 July 2005 on Trading Financial Instruments, and financial products,
including structured and combined products.
In addition, the information and advertising materials prepared by Bank Millennium is compliant with
the laws and regulations applicable to this area, including in particular:
• Recommendations laid down by the Code of Ethics in Advertising developed by the Advertising
Council and the Advertising Ethics Commission,
• Principles for Advertising of Banking Services of 2008 laid down by the Polish Financial
Supervision Authority,
• Best Practices on consumer loans advertising standards of the Polish Bank Association of 2015,
• Consumer Credit Act of 12 May 2011,
• Act of 23 March 2017 on Mortgage Loans and Supervision of Mortgage Brokers and Agents,
• Act of 29 July 2005 on Trading Financial Instruments.
Commitments to respect human rights at Bank Millennium, including in the area of responsible
marketing practices, are presented collectively for all relevant impacts in section 19.3 Respect for
human rights in customer relations.
19.7.2. MEASURES RELATED TO RESPONSIBLE MARKETING PRACTICES
[S4-4] In the process of developing marketing communication we adhere to the following
recommendations and principles: the Bank’s advertisements are not misleading and show the
important features of the products and services and related benefits and costs. They also depict their
legal nature and provide information about the level of possible risk carried by the customer. If the
message pertains to a promotional offer, its conditions are specified. Customers are also advised on
where they can obtain detailed information about a particular product, service or promotion.
Any change or introduction of a document or marketing material for buyers of respective products is
preceded by consultations within the Bank, verification by the product, legal and compliance teams,
in order to provide customers with a clear and reliable, legally-required information about the
products offered. Implementation of the marketing communication standards reduces the reputation
risk and the risk of sanctions for non-compliance with the regulations.
264
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
Monitoring of activities in the area of reliable marketing communications is carried out as part of the
compliance function exercised by the Compliance Department. This process is carried out on the basis
of Bank Millennium S.A.’s Compliance Policy. Its provisions include a description of the instruments
used to manage compliance risk, including with respect to responsible marketing practices. These
instruments include monitoring of products, collection of data on incidents, assessment of compliance
risks and controls, key indicators and risks, analysis of customer complaints and complaints to
supervisory authorities, results of internal audits involving the discovery of irregularities. The results
of Bank product monitoring endeavours are reported quarterly to the Bank’s Management Board and
the Supervisory Board Audit Committee. All of the above activities are being carried out continuously
and will continue in future years as well.
Bank Millennium has a Marketing Communications Department whose task, in cooperation with other
organizational units of the bank, is to work out and devise information and advertising materials, in
accordance with the provisions of the Instructions. The department is staffed by people with
experience and specialized expertise in marketing communications. Units from the product,
compliance and legal areas are involved in the process of reviewing advertising materials. The Bank
provides resources for the operation of these units.
19.7.3. OBJECTIVES RELATED TO THE PURSUIT OF POLICIES AND ACTIVITIES
[S4-5] The Bank, as an institution of public trust, provides reliable information of the Bank’s offerings
to customers as the basis of its activities, including in marketing communications. Our ambition –
unchanged over the years – in this regard is to ensure full compliance with the law, a goal that is not
measurable.
Our goal for responsible marketing practices was successfully implemented in 2024 and is also
consistent with the Bank’s Strategy for 2025-2028.
We are planning activities aimed at strengthening our leadership position in the area of customer
experience (CX), a component of which is reliable advertising. As part of the Strategy, we ultimately
want to be the main Bank for 70 percent of our customers, which must be supported by responsible
and reliable marketing practices. We strive to ensure that our marketing communications fully comply
with the guidelines set forth in our internal regulations and applicable laws.
The Bank has not cooperated directly with customers in the process of establishing the goal of
providing reliable information to customers about banking products, including in its marketing
practices.
265

19.8. NON-DISCRIMINATION (INCLUSIVE BANKING)
19.8.1. POLICIES RELATED TO NON-DISCRIMINATION
[S4-1] In Bank Millennium, we operate in accordance with the provisions of the Social Impact Policy
and the Diversity Management Policy, which are documents that support activities related to non-
discrimination, including in the area of relations with all of the Bank’s customers.
In accordance with our Social Impact Policy, our direct commitment to the United Nations Sustainable
Development Goals is reflected in strategic activities oriented toward finding innovative and inclusive
(anti-exclusion) products and distribution channels and in our approach to customer service. The
Policy indicates our areas of commitment to customers, including those oriented to the search for
innovative and inclusive (anti-exclusion) products and distribution channels and in our approach to
customer service and respect for human rights.
Our Diversity Management Policy is aimed at promoting a culture of mutual respect, identifying
diversity, ensuring equal opportunities, preventing exclusion and avoiding discrimination. It defines
our commitments in the area of respect for diversity and equal treatment.
Both documents are part of the Bank’s Sustainability Policy, a document that the Bank’s Management
Board is responsible for implementing.
The Sustainability Department is responsible for reviewing and updating the Policies. Monitoring of
the principles described in these documents with regard to customers is carried out using Voice
of Customer (VOC) customer analysis tools, which enable ongoing monitoring of activities and
evaluation of their effectiveness.
Commitments to respect human rights at Bank Millennium, including in the area of non-discrimination,
are presented collectively for all relevant impacts in section 19.3 Respect for human rights in
customer relations.
19.8.2. MEASURES RELATED TO NON-DISCRIMINATION
[S4-4] In Bank Millennium, we work to make sure that each group of customers, who have different
needs and expectations, is properly taken care of. Employees and designed solutions help customers
comfortably bank and use various services at a time and pace that suits them. We are working to
maintain the synergy between the digital message and the traditional form of customer contact with
the bank.
The Bank is taking steps to digitize customers in various areas. Electronic banking channels cooperate
closely with traditional channels. We know that many customers establish a relationship with the Bank
in one of its brick-and-mortar outlets, so the branch is the place where they learn about mobile and
internet banking. The role of employees is therefore crucial, which is why they are properly supported
in this process during periodic meetings and webinars (such as the Digital Ambassadors program).
For Bank Millennium, it is crucial not only to digitize new users, but also to activate those less
involved. We use a personalized approach to digitization. After activating access to digital channels,
we familiarize customers with the opportunities offered by such channels, educate customers on the
principles of cybersecurity and support them in sales processes, such as through contextual chat. This
digitalization path is not identical for every customer, but we tailor it based on analysis of activity
and preferences, while communications are sent to the customer in real time.
We continue our efforts to enhance customer satisfaction also in terms of the transparency
of communication and simplifying the language used. We are changing the texts provided to customers
from account opening to information on handling their products. We gradually transfer experiences
266
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
from the retail segment to the corporate banking area. We continue to train advisors and gradually
introduce the principles of simple language into more types of texts – internal and external. We have
obtained a Simple Language Certificate for responding to complaints. The websites and all customer
communications are also written in simple language that is easily understandable for the user and
may be read by automated text readers. The content is created in accordance with the plain language
principles and the plain language index (PLI) is monitored on an ongoing basis.
The Bank is striving for all our customers, including those with disabilities, to have convenient access
to services. We are constantly working to remove digital and physical barriers to accessing financial
and non-financial services. Most our facilities have wheelchair access. In facilities where there are
architectural barriers, we try to remodel them as much as possible so that the barriers are eliminated.
Clearly, the solution used depends on the type of such barrier. Moreover, all of our establishments
have seated customer service desks with ramp access for people using wheelchairs.
We have introduced many facilities for the blind, visually impaired and wheelchair users, such as:
• elevators and ramps in the Bank’s branches,
• documents in braille, audio recordings,
• documents written in very large font,
• “blind notch” solution in Millennium 360 debit cards, which consists of a semi-circular cut-
out on one of the sides. The solution is conceived as a convenience for the visually impaired
and blind. The cut-out makes using the card, for example when withdrawing from an ATM,
much easier.
Bank Millennium’s website, the Millenet internet banking system and the Bank Millennium mobile app
are continuously being adapted to meet the needs of blind and visually impaired individuals. A visually
impaired user can use the website with a keyboard – the mouse is not needed to navigate the portal.
Moreover, the site has a text zoom feature and is designed for high-contrast reading. Also, our mobile
application is adapted to the needs of blind and visually impaired persons owing to its compatibility
with access-enhancing services such as Google TalkBack (Android) and VoiceOver (iOS) that enable
the presentation of information using speech.
The Bank's customers may use mobile devices and computers to access our services, but also a number
of additional solutions, such as in the mobile application, customers may purchase public
transportation and parking tickets. The electronic banking system also allows customers to use digital
identity and engage in remote contact with Polish government offices.
Customers can also use the assistance of a chatbot in the Bank’s application. Our automatic assistant
available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week may also serve as a valuable guide to daily banking. Customers
may use the assistance of Milla in Bank Millennium’s mobile application. It is capable not only of
greeting and responding to various questions, it can also perform orders such as submitting a wire
transfer.
We have also developed a special procedure for serving blind or visually impaired customers at our
branches. Among other aspects, it includes indications for product presentation and customer
contact. When serving a blind or visually impaired customer, we take care to provide a full description
of the product or transaction being discussed, avoid long pauses in speech, and always inform the
customer of the actions we are performing, such as an employee saying: “I’m entering data into the
system now,” “I’m printing the contract,” “I’m stepping away from the desk for a moment, please
wait.” We keep the customer informed of the actions we are taking so that they can get an idea of
what is going on around them.
Blind or visually impaired persons or people who cannot read can still sign an agreement with the
Bank on their own in the presence of two employees of the outlet and – upon the customer’s express
wish – a witness the customer considers to be a trusted individual. In such cases, an outlet employee
267
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
can also read the agreement aloud and/or in the case of customers who cannot write, they can sign
using an ink fingerprint.
Customers with special needs have the right to receive the general terms and conditions of
agreements and bylaws in forms that make it easier for them to familiarize themselves with their
contents, for instance a document prepared using a large font size, an audio file or a file prepared in
braille.
We prepare such documents at the customer’s request. If the customer requests it, we agree with
the customer what kind of document they want to receive, in what form it should be prepared and
how to deliver it to them.
Customers taking their first steps in the area of digital banking have the following site at their
disposal: www.bankmillennium.pl/en/firststeponline.
Ukrainian citizens can find information in Ukrainian on the bank's website. They may also use a special
hotline, where they will be served in their own language. In addition, they can fill out an online
application for family benefits in this language. They also receive communications in their language,
regarding important matters such as application deadlines and cyber security warnings.
The Bank has prepared a special version of the mobile application available to children aged 7 to 12.
This app is not only a helpful gadget, but it is also a tool to introduce children to the world of finance
and use technology safely. During activation the application recognizes the user and adapts the
version to his or her age. The children’s app supports payments by phone or BLIK. It is friendly to the
youngest users and it was designed together with them – it has a simplified menu, children-friendly
language and a made-for-children design. At the same time, it gives parents total control over a
child’s spending, special transaction limits and the option for the parents to block a card using their
application. The app grows with the child. After turning 13 years of age the version of the app installed
in the birthday child’s phone automatically changes to the currently available version for people up
to 18 years of age.
Disabled people with movement impairments can use ATMs and deposit machines fitted with a
numeric keypad instead of function buttons next to the screen, which means that they do not have
to reach too high. In addition, ATM’s number keypad makes it easier to use the device also by disabled
people with vision impairments. After headphones are connected to the ATM, the user may enter
instructions through voice messages. Additionally, persons with vision impairments may use a special
black and white screen mode to enhance contrast and the legibility of displayed messages. 100% of
Bank Millennium’s own ATMs are customized to meet the needs of people with disabilities.
We carry out the above described measures continuously and we keep developing them based on
audits conducted by independent expert institutions. Various departments are involved in these
activities, including: Electronic Banking Department, Retail Banking Marketing Department and Sales
Support Department. Audits of the “We Are Seen” Foundation took place in 2024, covering the areas
of digital processes for Account 360, customer onboarding, electronic banking navigation, debit cards
and credit cards.
19.8.3. OBJECTIVES RELATED TO THE PURSUIT OF POLICIES AND ACTIVITIES
[S4-5] Our goal is to provide products and services that promote the prevention of social exclusion,
including by providing support to the part of society with fewer opportunities to use digital banking
solutions as well as spreading access to financial products.
Barrier-free banking – that is, supporting people with special needs in using banking services and
helping customers navigate the digital world – was part of the Bank Millennium Group’s ESG Strategy
for 2022-2024, and is also continued in the new Strategy for 2028 – Value and Growth. In this regard,
268
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
according to the provisions of the new Strategy, we aim, among other goals, to have 95 percent of
customers digitally active in 2028, an increase by nearly 5 percentage points from 2024.
Also, our level of ambition is to strive to ensure that all customers, including people with disabilities,
have convenient access to financial services. We promote a culture of mutual respect, respect for
diversity, providing equal opportunities, preventing exclusion and avoiding discrimination. This goal
is not measurable, but we make every effort to ensure that any possible violation of our policies in
this regard is identified and that potential harm is remedied.
We monitor the progress of initiatives aimed at increasing the availability of banking services and
products and promoting the prevention of social exclusion. We monitor the effectiveness and
evaluation of the measures taken by analysing the voices of our customers from the Bank’s customer
satisfaction surveys, also as part of the ongoing monitoring of Voice of Customer (VOC) program
submissions described in more detail in Section 19.2 General customer engagement processes.
Progress in implementing the Strategy, including activities in the area of non-discrimination,
is reported on a quarterly basis.
Representatives of the Bank participate in the work of the Polish Bank Association on accessibility of
places and services for people with disabilities. In the process of setting the goal of inclusiveness and
non-discrimination, we have used knowledge from the experience of our customers, including
cooperation within the Polish Bank Association as well as representatives of the “We Are Seen”
Foundation.
19.9. REMEDIATION OF NEGATIVE IMPACTS
[S4-3] In Bank Millennium, issues related to remedying the effects of negative impacts are governed
by internal documents, that is product regulations and the Complaints Handling Instructions, which
define the principles and procedure for handling complaints, which are the responsibility of the
Customer Relations Department. The Bank has implemented internal regulations aimed at ensuring
compliance with the Act on Complaint Examination by Financial Market Entities and on the Financial
Ombudsman and the Financial Education Fund, and the Payment Services Act.
Employees process claims in accordance with the Rules for Processing Claims, the Complaints
Processing Instructions, as well as the powers contained in the Regulations on Pricing and Commercial
Powers.
In the event of a personal data breach, the general rules of conduct are set forth in the Personal Data
Security Policy, as described in more detail in section 19.5. Privacy. Moreover, the Security Incident
Handling Procedure describes detailed rules for handling information security incidents, including as
a result of cyber threats. The procedure covers the identification, reporting, analysis, remediation
and closure of incidents, including those related to privacy and loss of security of funds deposited in
the Bank.
The customer has the opportunity to report a complaint through multiple channels of contact with
the Bank, in accordance with the customer’s preferences and capabilities: at the branch, by phone,
through electronic banking, by e-mail and by letter. We register all complaints (retail and corporate)
in the central complaint registry MilleResolver2, which is used to record and handle claims. The
MilleResolver2 system automatically assigns requests to designated teams and their employees or
robots supporting the process at certain stages. The employee verifies the request and confirms or
changes the categorization, type of request, source and date of the request to the correct type or
value. The employee also sends an inquiry to the appropriate substantive unit if consultation is
needed. In the case of a personal data breach, the customer may also report the incident directly to
the Data Protection Officer. The Bank is required to provide the information requested by the
269
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
customer in accordance with the time limits set by law, and strives to respond to all notifications as
soon as possible.
In the case of notifications in the privacy area, the basic principle is to respond promptly and to treat
each incident with special care. All incidents, even potential incidents, are reported to a team
working 24/7 and then referred to data protection specialists for further analysis if the matter
involves the processing of personal data. Based on these analyses, the Bank continuously improves its
security measures. If the occurrence of a violation has been ascertained related to the protection of
personal data of which the Bank is the data controller, the Data Protection Department assesses the
impact of the violation on the rights and freedoms of the individuals affected by it. If the assessment
indicates at least a high impact of the violation on the rights and freedoms of individuals, we notify
the data protection authority and, in certain situations, the data subject, as required by Articles 34
and 35 of GDPR, in the manner and within the timeframe specified in these provisions. If an incident
involves identity theft, the Bank cooperates fully with the relevant law enforcement authorities.
We evaluate the effectiveness of our actions based on the results of satisfaction surveys conducted
among customers, which supports us in continuously improving our processes. All these channels of
contact with the Bank have been established by the Bank.
We provide customers with various forms of contact with the Bank. During our contacts with
customers, employees inform them about the available contact channels. This is especially
emphasized when establishing a new relationship – when opening an account. Bank employees
encourage contact and inform customers about the possibility of contacting Bank Millennium 24 hours
a day, 7 days a week.
The complaint process is carefully monitored by tracking key performance indicators. These indicators
help us evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of our operations in various areas, such as service
time, the number of complaints, costs, and how we resolve cases of unauthorized transactions. They
are important for monitoring progress, achieving business goals and ensuring high-quality customer
service and efficient complaint management. With these indicators, we are also able to effectively
identify areas for improvement and take appropriate corrective action.
We periodically conduct a Close The Loop survey of the Bank’s complaint process, including by
assessing the ease of the process. The outcomes of the survey indicate that customers are aware of
the ways to file complaints with the Bank, and have confidence in the process. Also, all Bank
Millennium employees are bound by the provisions of the Code of Ethics. Adherence to the Code
protects the customer from potential retaliation.

20. BUSINESS CONDUCT (ESRS G1)
20.1. CORPORATE CULTURE AND BUSINESS ETHICS
[G1 IRO-1] In the identification process aiming at impacts, risks and opportunities in the corporate
governance area, we have identified the following three major spheres of impact: corporate culture,
corruption and bribery, and whistleblower protection. We have not, however, identified any material
risks or opportunities in this area. All relevant and applicable criteria for this process, such as location,
business, sector and transaction structure, are described in more detail in section 15.3. Double
materiality assessment.
The Bank Millennium Group operates its business in a sustainable manner, while considering
adherence to ethical principles to be of paramount significance for its corporate culture and business
conduct. This follows from our mission as a financial sector operator and the Group’s professed values,
which we consider crucial.
[G1-1] The fundamental document that governs these issues within the Bank Millennium Group is The
Bank Millennium Group Code of Ethics. The Code of Ethics is a set of principles that must be adhered
to by all employees of the Bank Millennium Group. The Code of Ethics contains principles and values
that should guide employees in the performance of their duties and in their relations with their
colleagues and with the Bank as an employer. The Code also sets out guidelines for relations with
clients, the market and suppliers, referring to such areas as: respect for human rights, quality of
service, ethical sales, fair competition and communication, focus on ensuring long-term continuity
and sustainable development, principles for conducting business relations, anti-money laundering,
prevention of conflicts of interest, anti-corruption, including rules on accepting and giving benefits,
and participation in and organization of tenders. The Code of Ethics also applies to franchisees and
employees at franchise locations.
Every employee is required to become familiar with the Code by completing a mandatory e-learning
course, confirm their knowledge and apply the principles included in the Code in their daily work.
The scope of the training covers conflict-of-interest management, anti-corruption, confidential
information, personal transactions and other topics. The knowledge and materials provided during
the training are intended to sensitize employees on how to identify and handle situations which in
any way may cause a conflict between the interests of Bank Millennium and the client, as well as how
to handle information which is or may be price-sensitive and the disclosure of which might affect the
price of financial instruments. As part of such training, employees also learn what responsibilities
(including legal orders and prohibitions) are associated with conflict situations and with coming into
possession of price-sensitive information. The role of employees as those who must actively identify
their own behaviour as well as that of other employees and clients is highlighted in the examples. All
the above-mentioned training makes up a mandatory package of regulatory training that every Bank
employee is required to undergo. Such training must be attended by every newly hired employee of
the Bank Millennium Group. Moreover, every Group employee is required to participate in refresher
training, conducted annually.
The tasks of the Ethics Officer include overseeing compliance with the Code of Ethics. The function
of the Ethics Officer is exercised by the head of the Compliance Department. The responsibilities of
the Ethics Officer, in addition to overseeing compliance with the Code of Ethics, include promoting
ethical standards, ordering inspections of compliance with ethical principles and examining cases of
their breach.
The Code of Ethics is subject to annual review and updates on an as-needed basis. The Code of Ethics
may also be updated depending on current needs, supervisory recommendations or detected
irregularities, in particular as regards adjusting to changes in the regulatory environment, changes in
the risk profile and size of the Bank, as well as factors of the economic environment in which we
operate.
271
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
The Code of Ethics has been uploaded to our corporate website and is available on the Intranet (in
MilleTeka).
20.2. ANTI-CORRUPTION
[G1-1] The Bank has put in place various formalized policies for preventing, detecting, investigating
and responding to allegations or incidents of corruption or bribery – these issues are governed by the
following internal documents: Anti-corruption in Bank Millennium S.A. Policies and guidelines and
Anti-corruption policy, applicable to all employees of the Bank Millennium Group. Both these
documents are consistent with the United Nations Convention against Corruption.
Anti-corruption in Bank Millennium S.A. Policies and guidelines lays down the principles of conduct
applicable to various contexts, including relations with contractors and government employees as
well as with other organizations, including political parties and non-profit organizations, for the
purpose of preventing incidents of corruption and bribery. The document also sets out the rules
applicable to the acceptance and offering of gifts as well as participation in business-related and
other events by Bank employees.
Anti-corruption in Bank Millennium S.A. Policies and guidelines has been uploaded to the Bank’s
Intranet site in the manner customary for such documents. Its contents are disseminated to and shared
with 100% of business partners and each participating supplier. The anti-corruption principles are
made available to business partners and other stakeholders on the Bank’s website. Moreover, the
Compliance Department publishes regular reminders on the application of the anti-corruption
principles, including on the acceptance and offering of gifts.
[G1-3] The responsibility for counteracting corruption rests with all Bank employees, which means
that they are required, in the event of suspicion that an act of this kind has been committed, to
immediately inform the Compliance Department by sending a message to a dedicated email box:
*CORRUPTION (for internal communications) or to: MBF0084@bankmillennium.pl (for external
communications). In the event that the reporting person sees any reason to fear repercussions of their
bringing the matter to the attention of relevant services, the Bank also consents to such reports being
submitted on a fully anonymous basis, from any email box other than that bearing the Bank’s domain
name, or in hardcopy form addressed to the Compliance Department, or to a selected employee of
that unit.
If a corruption incident occurs, the Head of the Compliance Department is required to promptly bring
the matter to the attention of the President of the Management Board and the Chairperson of the
Supervisory Board, and then take action in cooperation with the relevant Management Board members
to look into the matter, assess its potential unfavourable consequences, take corrective steps and
decide on the consequences of the discovery of the corrupt activity. The Compliance Department, as
the unit exercising the compliance function referred to in Article 3(1)(2) of the Regulation issued by
the Minister of Finance, Funds and Regional Policy on 8 June 2021 on the risk management system
and internal control system and compensation policy in banks, operates as a unit independent from
other units within the Bank. It has been vested with the authority and powers suitable for fulfilling
the duties described above.
On a regular basis, the Head of the Compliance Department notifies the Management Board and the
Supervisory Board Audit Committee of all identified instances of corruption (if they take place), both
in its quarterly reports and in the annual report on the evaluation of the Bank’s compliance system.
In order to prevent corruption in purchasing processes, the Bank has also introduced the principles of
cooperation with Bank Millennium’s suppliers, as laid down in the Instructions for selecting suppliers
and making purchases. These instructions define, among other things, how the procurement process
is organized, the role played by the various process participants and the supplier selection criteria.
Suppliers are selected in tenders, which allows the Bank to use objective selection criteria. To ensure
272
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
transparency of the procurement process, the substantive and commercial evaluations of bids are
done by independent Bank units. Every supplier taking part in a tender procedure must undertake to
observe the rules included in the Bank Millennium Group’s Code of Ethics, including the respect of
human rights and compliance with anti-corruption policies, by signing a representation to that effect.
In addition, a clause confirming supplier compliance with the Code of Ethics has been included in
currently concluded supplier agreements.
As part of the assessment of individual components of operational risk, also the aspect of vulnerability
to corruption risk of different types of the Bank’s activities is reviewed by the Internal Audit
Department in the course of audit activities. Past experience in this area confirms the adequacy and
effectiveness of the control mechanisms implemented for this purpose, such as procedures,
segregation of duties, authorisations and limits. Periodic audits carried out by the Internal Audit
Department cover all activities of the Bank and all business processes within the Bank Millennium
Group.
The Bank also holds periodic (annual) training courses on preventing corruption. They have been
prepared as a separate group of training courses for Bank Millennium employees and franchise
employees and as a component of compliance training for members of the Bank’s Management Board
and Supervisory Board. The purpose of such training is to familiarize participants with anti-corruption
policies, potential causes and forms of corruption, areas at risk of corruption and ways of acting and
behaving in special situations, for instance when accepting gifts or attending external events.
Information on the percentage of employees who have failed to undergo the training is provided
periodically (quarterly) to the Bank’s Management Board and the Supervisory Board Audit Committee.

[G1-4] In 2024, no cases of corruption were detected in the Bank Millennium Group. Nor were there
any cases of confirmed incidents in which employees were dismissed or disciplined for corruption,
confirmed incidents in which contracts with business partners were terminated or not renewed due
to corruption-related breaches, or public corruption-related litigation brought against the Bank or its
employees. Moreover, no court judgments were issued convicting any employees and/or imposing any
fines for breaches of anti-corruption or anti-bribery laws.

20.3. WHISTLEBLOWER REPORTING AND PROTECTION
[G1-1] Bank Millennium has two whistleblowing processes in place. The first one pertains to reporting
breaches under the Whistleblower Protection Act of 14 June 2024 and the second one concerns
reports submitted under other regulations (e.g., the Act of 29 July 2005 on Public Offering, Terms
and Conditions for Introducing Financial Instruments to an Organized Trading System and on Public
Companies, the Regulation issued by the Minister of Finance, Funds and Regional Policy on 8 June
2021 on the risk management system and internal control system and compensation policy in banks,
the Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 April 2014 on
market abuse and repealing Directive 2003/6/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and
Commission Directives 2003/124/EC, 2003/125/EC and 2004/72/EC, the Act of 1 March 2018 on
Combating Money Laundering and Financing Terrorism, or the Regulation of the Minister of Finance
of 29 May 2018 on the detailed technical and organizational conditions for investment firms, the
banks referred to in Article 70(2) of the Act on Trading in Financial Instruments, and custodian
banks).
As part of the former process, any breaches of the law within the meaning of the Whistleblower
Protection Act may be reported, that is various types of unlawful acts or omissions or those aimed at
circumventing the law in the areas of corruption, public procurement, financial services, products
and markets, anti-money laundering and terrorist financing, product safety and compliance,
environmental protection, consumer protection, protection of privacy and personal data, security of
networks and ICT systems, financial interests of the State Treasury of the Republic of Poland, local
government units and the European Union, or the internal market of the European Union, including
rules governing public competition, state aid and corporate taxation. As part of this process,
whistleblowing reports may be submitted by Bank employees, persons performing work under a civil
law contract, commercial proxies, shareholders, members of the Bank’s Management Board, members
of the Bank’s Supervisory Board, persons performing work under the supervision and direction of a
contractor, subcontractor or supplier, apprentices and volunteers (during the course of their
relationship with the Bank and thereafter). Reports submitted under the Whistleblower Protection
Act are not anonymous.
As part of the latter process, any breaches involving non-compliance with the law and the Bank’s
procedures or ethical standards may be reported. Whistleblowing reports under this process may only
be made by Bank employees or members of the Bank’s Management Board. However, reports obtained
from outside the organization will also be reviewed. Any employee in possession of information or a
reasonable suspicion of a breach of the law, applicable policies, procedures or provisions of the Bank
Millennium Group’s Code of Ethics is required to report such information promptly through any of the
dedicated reporting channels. Such reports may be submitted by email to
naruszenia@bankmillennium.pl (a channel ensuring the whistleblower’s anonymity) or to the
*NARUSZENIA [*BREACHES] mailbox accessible only from the Bank’s internal employee resource (a
channel that does not ensure the whistleblower’s anonymity). A whistleblowing report may also be
submitted by letter – in a sealed envelope delivered by external mail marked as “breach report” and
“for the attention of the addressee only,” placed in another sealed envelope, addressed to the
President of the Management Board or the Chairperson of the Supervisory Board Audit Committee (if
the breach concerns a Management Board member), to the Bank’s registered office address.
The rules governing these processes are laid down in internal regulations: the Bank Millennium S.A.
Whistleblower Manual and the Bank Millennium S.A. Supervisory Board Whistleblower Policy. Both
these documents have been uploaded to the Bank’s Intranet site. Key information on the
whistleblowing system is also published on the Bank’s Intranet site in the Compliance Department
section, and with regard to the process of accepting reports submitted under the Whistleblower
Protection Act of 14 June 2024 – on the Bank’s website.
With regard to the whistleblowing process, the Bank implemented separate training for employees in
2024, to be refreshed annually. The process governing the submission of whistleblowing reports and
the conduct of investigations has also been included in training for members of the Bank’s
274
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
Management Board and Supervisory Board. The area of training for Bank employees is governed by
the Instructions for participation in training programs at Bank Millennium S.A., which is described in
more detail in section 17.1.3. HR policies.
In the regulation Anti-corruption in Bank Millennium S.A. Policies and guidelines, the areas that, in
the Bank’s opinion, are the riskiest in terms of the possibility of the commission of corrupt acts have
been identified. These areas include: relations with contractors, government employees and other
external organizations, the acceptance and offering of gifts, business and PR events. In principle, all
employees may perform duties in the areas indicated, which means that the Bank takes into account
the risk of exposure to corruption and bribery for each employee.
We ensure the confidentiality of all whistleblowing reports and refrain from taking any action against
anyone who, in good faith, reports information regarding potential breaches of the law and/or
adopted policies, procedures or the Code of Ethics, or who participates in the procedure for reviewing
whistleblowing reports, unless a false report or information was provided in bad faith. According to
sec. 6(1) of the Bank Millennium S.A. Whistleblower Manual, the Bank is required to provide the
whistleblower with protection against any repression, discrimination or other types of unfair
treatment or resulting in the deterioration of their legal or factual situation, or involving threats
against them, in particular actions that unfavourably affect their working conditions or terms of
employment. Such protection is afforded by guaranteeing the confidentiality of information
pertaining to the whistleblowing report, thereby reducing the risk of retaliation against the employee.
In a situation where the whistleblower has a reasonable suspicion of possible retaliation against
him/her in connection with the submission of a whistleblowing report or experiences such retaliation,
he/she should promptly inform the Head of the Human Resources Department or file a separate report
in accordance with the Bank Millennium S.A. Whistleblower Manual, indicating that it contains
information about retaliation related to a whistleblowing report submitted in accordance with the
Manual. Subsequently, a dedicated Management Board member or the Head of the Human Resources
Department are required to take all actions provided by law and the Work Rules and Regulations to
ensure that the whistleblower is fully protected from any retaliation. The whistleblower must
cooperate with the dedicated Management Board member or the Head of the Human Resources
Department in the implementation of measures to protect him/her from retaliation.
In turn, section 7 of the Manual governs the Bank’s provision of protection from any retaliation to
whistleblowers who report information about a breach of the law or make an external report or
a public disclosure. Only whistleblowers who, at the time of reporting, have a reasonable basis for
the veracity of their reported information are covered by such protection. No retaliation or attempted
or threatened retaliation may be applied against the whistleblower. In a situation where the
whistleblower has a reasonable suspicion of possible retaliation against him/her in connection with
the submission of a whistleblowing report or experiences such retaliation (including attempts and/or
threats to apply such actions), he/she should promptly inform the Head of the Human Resources
Department (if the whistleblower is an employee) or file a separate report in accordance with the
Bank Millennium S.A. Whistleblower Manual, indicating that it contains information about retaliation
related to the submission of information on a breach of the law, external report or public disclosure
made in accordance with the Manual. Subsequently, the Human Resources Department or the
Compliance Department, as the case may be, takes all actions prescribed by law and the Work Rules
and Regulations to ensure that the whistleblower is protected from retaliation.
Reports submitted under the whistleblowing process are summarized annually by the Compliance
Department as part of its report duties to the Bank’s Management Board, the Supervisory Board Audit
Committee and the Supervisory Board. In 2024, there were no reports that met the definition of the
Bank Millennium S.A. Whistleblower Manual or the Bank Millennium S.A. Supervisory Board
Whistleblower Policy.
The policies described in section 20. Business conduct are posted on the Bank’s website. In turn,
procedures and instructions (including policies) are disseminated among employees via the corporate
Intranet. Through various communication channels, including the “help desk” formula, employees
275
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
may also obtain advice on the pursuit of the Company’s policies and practices of responsible business
conduct (including those related to reporting breaches or counteracting corruption) by referring to
the pertinent units, depending on the area in which the advice is sought. For instance, as regards the
pursuit of the policy to ensure compliance with supervisory laws and regulations and with internal
procedures, the Compliance Department is the competent unit; for the HR policy, the HR Department
is the place to go to; for issues related to credit risk, it is the Risk Department. For issues related to
responsible business conduct practices, the Compliance Department is the appropriate unit for
consultation.

2021/2139 as amended by Regulation 2022/1214
The Bank prepares and discloses quantitative information on key performance indicators for the
activities laid down in Regulation 2021/2139 as amended by Regulation 2022/1214 (i.e. for the
original scope of activities that can substantially contribute to the first two environmental
objectives - climate change mitigation and climate change adaptation) in accordance with the
tabular disclosure templates in Annexes VI and XII of Regulation 2021/2178, as amended. The Bank
also uses Regulation 2023/2486 with regard to the eligibility aspect.
Annex V of Regulation 2021/2178 (taking into account the amendments introduced with Regulation
2023/2486) distinguishes between the following (partial) key performance indicators for credit
institutions relating to assets:
1. Total Green Asset Ratio (GAR) for financing activities directed at financial undertakings;
2. Total GAR for financing activities directed at non-financial undertakings;
3. GAR for residential real estate exposures, including house renovation loans (for the objective
of climate change mitigation);
4. Green Asset Ratio (GAR) for retail car loans (for the objective of climate change mitigation);
5. Green Asset Ratio (GAR) for loans to local governments for house financing and other use-of-
proceeds lending;
6. Green Asset Ratio (GAR) for commercial and residential repossessed real estate collateral
held for sale (repossessed in the collection process).
Total GAR is an indicator that accumulates all the partial ratios listed in items 1-6 above.
For each of the above indicators of EU Taxonomy-aligned exposures, the disclosure templates set out
in Annexes VI and XII of Regulation 2021/2178 also provide for the disclosure of the corresponding
percentages of EU taxonomy-eligible assets.
Additionally, Annex V to Regulation 2021/2178 requires the Group to disclose key EU Taxonomy
indicators with respect to off-balance sheet exposures - i.e. for certain financial guarantees issued
and for assets managed by the investment fund company (TFI) belonging to the Bank’s Group.
The Bank discloses quantitative information on the above indicators using detailed tabular formulas
laid down in Annex VI to Regulation 2021/2178.
278
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
For exposures to financial and non-financial undertakings included in the partial indicators on assets
and off-balance sheet items, the Group has adopted the following methodology to assess EU Taxonomy
eligibility and alignment, in accordance with the requirements of Annex V of Regulation 2021/2178:
• for general purpose financing – the assessment of eligibility and alignment is based on the EU
Taxonomy key performance indicators, for revenue and capital expenditure (CapEx) published by
the Group's customers and by identified subsidiaries of the Group's clients or by parent companies
of the Group's clients
15
– therefore, in accordance with the requirements in Regulation
2021/2178, the Group calculates its key performance indicators twice (first on the basis of
its clients’ revenue indicators and second on the basis of its clients’ CapEx indicators),
• for use-of-proceeds financing – the assessment of eligibility and alignment is based on the Bank’s
own analysis of the characteristics of the purpose of the financing and the information needed to
verify compliance with the technical screening criteria of the EU Taxonomy and minimum social
safeguards.
In the process of determining the key performance indicators for the green asset ratio with regard to
flow, the Bank has taken into account the gross carrying amount as at 31 December 2024 only of those
exposures that were first recognised in the Group’s balance sheet in 2024.
Financing of non-financial and financial undertakings
The Bank identifies entities eligible for inclusion in the GAR numerator (i.e. entities required to report
under the EU Taxonomy themselves (as well as identified subsidiaries of such entities) or included in
such reporting through consolidation by the parent entity) based on the database published by Instrat
Foundation and the database maintained on the ESG Platform developed by Biuro Informacji
Kredytowej S.A and based on expert portfolio review (for subsidiaries of entities included in Instrat’s
database and for entities located outside Poland). The same approach was applied to financial
undertakings.
Financing of households
For the purpose of calculating the partial ratio related to the financing of households related to
residential properties, the Group has assumed that:
• all mortgage loans granted for the construction/purchase of a house/apartment are EU
taxonomy-eligible under the “climate change mitigation” environmental objective – activity 7.7,
• the Group assesses the EU Taxonomy alignment of mortgage loans based on the technical
screening criteria as defined in Regulation 2021/2139 (as amended) based on data from building
energy performance certificates and physical risk maps for Poland (Klimada 2.0), making it
possible to assess whether the location where the financed property is located is not significantly
exposed to flooding or inundations. The Bank has adopted the above risks for assessment, guided
by analyses of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which specify in detail
types of physical risk material for Central and Eastern Europe, including Poland. The Bank has
found that in the local situation, the key physical risk factors which may adversely affect the
value of collateral of mortgage loans are flooding and inundations. Nevertheless, the Bank will
monitor whether the assessment of physical risks material to Poland is still valid. In the physical
risk assessment, the Bank has followed the Methodology for identification of increased physical
risk in the mortgage portfolio, adopted by the Bank. The Bank identifies an increased physical
risk in the mortgage loan portfolio per exposure, according to the location of the collateral in
the form of real property.
15
For the Group’s customers that are financial undertakings, the Group uses the taxonomy indicators published by the Group’s
customers and based on the revenues or on the capital expenditures of the entities financed by the Group’s customers.
279
Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
If it follows from our analysis that there is a significant risk for the respective location, the Bank
excludes the exposure from the portfolio of Taxonomy-aligned loans.
• To establish compliance with the technical screening criteria, it has been assessed whether the
financed buildings:
a. built after 31 December 2020 meet the standards of primary energy need at least 10%
lower than the threshold defined for nearly zero-energy buildings under national
measures implementing Directive 2010/31/EU of the European Parliament and of the
Council,
b. built before 31 December 2020 belong to 15% of the most efficient buildings in Poland.
For the purpose of defining qualification thresholds for 15% of the most energy-
efficient buildings in Poland, the Bank has applied the primary energy demand limits
published by the Ministry of Economic Development and Technology (Taxonomy of
sustainable financing of investments – buildings – Ministry of Economic Development
and Technology – gov.pl portal).
• To assess compliance with the above criteria, the Bank has based its decisions on data acquired
from energy performance certificates found in the Central Register of Energy Performance of
Buildings maintained by the Minister of Economic Development and Technology. To ensure the
highest data quality, the Bank has solicited the support of an external firm specializing in data
regarding the Polish real estate market, which has performed an additional verification of the
data from the said register.
• In assessing compliance with the EU Taxonomy for retail mortgage loans, the Bank has taken the
following approach to the issue of investigating minimum social safeguards. The Bank has
concluded that, in respect of real property sellers who are natural persons, investigating this
issue is unfeasible in practice. As for real properties purchased on the primary market, with
regard to property development companies erecting buildings and apartments financed by the
Bank, the Bank has assumed that the minimum social safeguards are met. The justification for
this approach is that the Bank only finances real properties built on the Polish market, and
Poland is a country that observes the UN Guidelines on Business and Human Rights and the OECD
Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises. Poland is also one of the founders of the International
Labour Organization and abides by the principles adopted by this organisation. In particular, the
provisions of the Labour Code ensure respect for human rights in relations with employees. The
Bank has no information about any controversies regarding human rights violations by real
property development companies operating in Poland.
• Household loan products related to improving the energy efficiency of residential properties are
considered EU Taxonomy-eligible under the “climate change mitigation” environmental
objective, while in the current reporting cycle the Bank does not have the source data to reliably
assess the EU Taxonomy alignment of these credit products.
At year-end 2024, the Bank does not identify any assets in its portfolio that could qualify for partial
indices for consumer car financing, for use-of-proceeds financing for local governments, or for real
estate taken into the Bank's ownership in the loan loss recovery process.
Approach to the Bank Millennium Group entities
In the Taxonomy-related disclosures of the Group, the Bank did not single out data about Millennium
Leasing.

Management Board report on the activities of Bank Millennium S.A.
and the Bank Millennium S.A. Group in 2024
Contextual information on key performance indicators for the activities laid down in Regulations
2023/2485 and 2023/2486
In accordance with Article 10(7) of Regulation 2021/2178, for the period from 1 January 2024 to 31
December 2025, and for the activities laid down in Regulations 2023/2485 and 2023/2486 (i.e. for the
new extended scope of activities that can substantially contribute to one or more of the six
environmental objectives specified in the EU Taxonomy), the Group only discloses the percentage
indicators of EU Taxonomy eligible and non-eligible activities (along with relevant qualitative
information).
The Group has reviewed its portfolio (from a balance sheet and off-balance sheet perspective) with
respect to its eligibility for the above-mentioned activities and concluded that the loans related to
residential real estate granted by the Bank to consumers and use-of-proceeds financing for businesses
qualify only for the original scope of activities under the climate change mitigation objective and do
not qualify for the “new” activities. With regard to general financing for financial and non-financial
undertakings, information about eligibility for other objectives was determined on the basis of non-
financial statements of customers for 2023 because these are the most recent reliable data published
by the Bank’s customers as at the date of the publication of this report.
Description of alignment with EU Taxonomy in the Group's business strategy, product design
processes and engagement with customers and business partners
Over 95% of EU Taxonomy-aligned exposures are mortgage loans for households. The change from the
green asset ratio presented last year is due to the constitution of the alignment assessment approach
for the mortgage portfolio, whereby the Group decided to disclose alignment in this portfolio – in the
previous year, zero Taxonomy alignment was reported for this portfolio. The degree of alignment of
newly issued mortgage financing is dependent on energy performance of residential buildings, which,
according to existing regulations in this area, should improve in the future.
With respect to off-balance sheet exposures, the Group has recorded an increase in the green asset
ratio for managed assets especially visible in the key performance indicator for off-balance sheet
exposures regarding capital expenditures. This shows increased efforts of entities in the Millennium
TFI portfolio to invest in sustainable businesses and the increase in entities reporting sustainability
data compared to the previous year.
The Bank Millennium Group takes steps aimed at developing the portfolio of assets financing
Taxonomy-aligned activities.
The Bank Millennium Group’s Strategy for 2025-2028 – Value and Growth contains objectives of
actively supporting customers in their decarbonization efforts and granting PLN 5 billion of financing
for sustainable for the customers of the Bank’s Group over the next 4 years.
Our goal is to launch an offering of products that would support sustainability in various business
segments in the areas of energy efficiency, the use of renewable energy sources and the circular
economy, as well as to increase the financing allocated to sustainability projects through active
participation in governmental and EU transition programs to reduce adverse environmental impacts.
The Bank is taking proactive measures aiming to build a portfolio of assets that finance
environmentally sustainable activities, while adhering to the Environmental Policy and the
Responsible Financing Policy. The Bank has implemented a comprehensive project to build and
implement a process for classifying green assets – based on the Bank’s internal business criteria based
on best market practices and based on the EU Taxonomy.
