Process of defining the report’s contents
The process of defining the report’s contents entailed a review of the hitherto reporting issues in accordance with the three steps required by the GRI 4 standard, i.e. identification, prioritization and validation. Reporting topics were first identified to give consideration to stakeholder expectations. Stakeholder feedback pertaining to the Bank’s operations was obtained using client and employee satisfaction studies, questions posed to the Bank by stakeholders, external auditors and research units, CSR ranking scores, CSR trends in the financial sector,
talks with clients, investors, business partners and social partners. A list of topics was drawn up on the basis of the issues raised by stakeholders as well as on the basis of sustainable development topics recognized in the GRI G4 standard and the sector supplement, and subsequently these topics were prioritized. The analysis of the topics pertaining to sustainable development was based on three criteria: the social and environmental gravity of the topic, its importance to stakeholders and its impact on the Bank’s business strategy success. As a result, a list of topics pertaining to Bank Millennium’s sustainable development was created and then approved by the CSR Manager. [GRI 102-46]
Below please find a list of the reported topics selected during the reporting process along with the bounds of their impact. The topics have been divided into three groups to reflect the findings of the analysis according to the three criteria mentioned above. The first group pertains to the topics most applicable to the Bank’s operations. We concentrate on reporting these topics and in this report they are presented in detail. Their description entails the management approach used and the specific resultant outcomes. The second group of topics is moderately applicable to operations. Their description is limited to the resultant outcomes or to a qualitative description. The third group of topics entails topics of low applicability to the Bank’s operations. The analysis of all these topics gives consideration to their nature and impact. Internal topics have been labeled (int), while external topics are labeled (ext). Nature of the influence was divided in the direct influence (d) and indirect (i) – related to business relations of the company. [GRI 103-1]
