The Warsaw Stock Exchange and the companies of the GPW Group conduct their operations bearing in mind the highest business standards as well as social, ethical and environmental concerns. One of the greatest challenges facing the world and the economy today is climate change and its consequences. The GPW Group integrates climate change and its risks into the setting of targets and monitoring the effects and results of its activities.

The GPW Group’s Climate Policy adopted in 2021 sets out the main directions of the Group’s efforts to prevent adverse climate change and defines the approach to climate management in the GPW Group and the key responsibilities at the GPW Group level.

The implementation of the Climate Policy aims to initiate measures necessary to reduce greenhouse gas emissions resulting from the GPW Group’s activities and to develop good practices in this area.

In particular, GPW is focusing on the implementation of the Climate Policy through the following actions:

• implementation of an ESG factor management system, including in particular structured management of the climate impact of business operations,
• implementation of climate risk management as an integral part of the GPW Group’s risk management system,
• reducing energy consumption and seeking to increase the share of energy from renewable sources consumed in the operations,
• striving to reduce the environmental impact of business travel by rationalising its frequency and choice of means of transport (in favour of online meetings and rail transport),
• rational management of the consumption of natural resources.
