Bank Millennium has launched Green Academy - an original development programme

Nearly 100% of Bank Millennium's corporate banking relationship managers have already received green ESG certificates as part of the Green Academy. This is Bank Millennium's proprietary development programme, which aims to improve the competences of relationship managers in the field of financing green investments and broadly understood ESG issues. The aim of the programme is also to support the development of a green financing portfolio, including investment financing, in line with the Bank's ESG strategy.

- We understand our important role in the green transformation process , which is a challenge for the entire market. Companies need support in this process. That is why we equip relationship managers with practical competences in the field of ESG, which will allow them to effectively identify key issues related to green transformation and sustainable development, better understand the perspective of companies and their needs. We want to actively support - by ensuring optimal financing of projects related to green transformation and thus helping companies implement their strategies - says Andrzej Gliński, Member of the Management Board of Bank Millennium.

The Green Academy programme is one of the elements that allow the Bank to achieve its goals in the field of sustainable development. Knowledge and competence in the areas of sustainable development important from a business perspective, allow us to actively support companies in the implementation of green investments. This allows them to implement and develop their long-term transformation strategies with the significant participation of the Bank.

- We want to have a positive impact on our social, economic and natural environment. We achieve the greatest effectiveness and real impact in this area by financing sustainable investments of our clientssays Magdalena Trzynadlowska, Director of the Sustainability Department at Bank Millennium.

The Green Academy programme has been divided into four modules. The first part of the project - the ESG Academy, which allowed nearly 100% of corporate banking relationship managers to obtain green certificates, has been completed.

- The Green Academy programme will last a year, comprehensively covering issues related to the implementation of investments improving energy efficiency or circular operation. In addition to ESG topics, it will also include product issues, green classification, public programmes and active support in structuring investments related to the green transitionsays Anna Gregorczyk, Director of the Corporate Banking Marketing Department at Bank Millennium.
