Bank Millennium for the eighth time in Respect Index

Bank Millennium for the eighth consecutive time is part of Respect Index – an index of socially responsible companies quoted on the Warsaw Stock Exchange.

The index comprises companies selected from among the largest public enterprises of WIG20, mWIG40 and sWIG80 indexes, operating in compliance with best corporate governance, information governance and investor relations standards as well as with consideration of environmental, social and economic factors. The selected companies undergo three-tier verification made by the Warsaw Stock Exchange, the Stock Issuers Association and an independent auditor. The index composition is reviewed once a year.
 
Our participation in the Respect Index since 2011 confirms how we value at Bank Millennium the responsible way of managing the business. For us it is not only important to reach business goals but also it matters in what manner they are achieved. - Joao Bras Jorge, Chairman of the Management Board of Bank Millennium said. By acting in an ethical and responsible way we gain trust of our clients, counterparties and investors. We are also an appreciated employer both for current as well as potential employees – young people who see social responsibility of a company as one of the important selection criteria of their future workplace.

We owe our long-term presence in Respect Index to number of factors: we continuously analyse the needs and expectations of our stakeholders and respond to changing environment; we pursue a transparent information policy; we are a customer service quality leader – e.g. in 2015 we are number one Newsweek’s Friendly Bank ranking in three categories: traditional, mortgage and internet banking; we continue to enrich our portfolio with more innovative products, intuitive in use and available to a broad range of clients, such as our mobile and internet banking. – added Joao Bras Jorge.

Today the Index comprises 23 companies including 6 banks. Respect Index offers investors a guarantee that they are investing in companies with high liquidity and the most stringent management standards.
