The bank received the EcoVadis Gold Medal for 2023. EcoVadis is an international audit assessing sustainability practices in the areas of corporate social responsibility, environmental protection, and sustainable procurement. Nest Bank achieved high scores in all these areas, placing it among the top 5% of companies rated in the survey.
In 2023, the Bank continued its participation in the “ALL4Kids – Charity Race” campaign. In May 2023, as a part of collaborating with the AMP Futbol Association, the Bank’s employees took part in the “Charity Race 2023” bike and run challenge. The goal of the campaign was to raise funds for organizing development workshops – sport camps for the Association wards – children with disabilities. The camps arranged by the Amp Futbol Association are aimed not only at involving children with disability in sports activities, but also their integration with peers. It is an initiative of great social value that gives young people the opportunity to break down barriers, develop skills and build a sense of belonging to the community.
As part of the campaign, we donated for this aim an amount equal to the number of kilometers run and rode by bike during the campaign by employees representing us in the challenge. Every employee could also support the campaign by donating funds to the moneybox of the Association on the www.siepomaga.pl website. Two Nest! employee teams participated in the campaign (a total of 10 people), winning 4,263 points. This achievement translated directly into financial support – Nest Bank transferred the equivalent of the points obtained, i.e. PLN 4,263 to the Association.
We have joined the working group on simple language under Polish Bank Association, and we are involved in the work on good practice of simple bank communication.

We are involved in a program organised by Polish Bank Association in cooperation with the Banking Cybersecurity Centre.

Every year, we participate in the "Two Hours for the Family" campaign. It is a project coordinated by the Humanities Institute. The action aims to strengthen family relations and emphasise the importance of the family in every person's life.
All partner companies taking part in the event celebrate International Day of Families (May 15), reducing the working time of all their employees by 2 hours in a chosen day.
The additional two hours can be used for outdoor play, walking with loved ones, cycling excursion, playing football or badminton. There are numerous options. It is important to spend this time with loved ones.
