Piraeus Financial Holdings is once again part of the FTSE4Good Emerging Index of FTSE Russell, for its performance in terms of environment, society and governance (Environmental, Social, Governance – ESG).
The overall score of Piraeus is higher than the average score of banks, but also of the financial sector worldwide, in all three pillars (ESG). Piraeus was particularly distinguished in the sections related to risk management, the fight against corruption and the protection of human rights.
The distinction comes from one of the most internationally recognized rating agencies that closely monitors the performance of companies and banks in terms of how they handle corporate governance, climate change, responsible investment and work practices. Following the analysis, the FTSE notifies international investors of companies that meet the evaluation criteria and have succeeded in joining the index.
As of May 2022, the index includes 536 companies, of which 142 belong to the financial sector and 7 are based in Greece.
Firmly committed to the United Nations Accountability Principles, the Piraeus Group is charting a dynamic course of sustainability by fulfilling its central goal of having a positive impact on the Greek economy and society, creating value for its shareholders, customers and employees.
