In 2006 The Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (UOKiK) initiated proceedings against Visa and Europay and against Polish banks issuing Visa and MasterCard payment cards. UOKiK found that both operators and banks engaged in practices restricting competition in the area of card payments in Poland through price collusion, i.e. illegal setting of interchange fees for payment transactions made with the above-mentioned cards. In 2006 UOKiK imposed a fine of PLN 7.7m on banks, including mBank. Subsequently, the proceedings were conducted between different courts for a period of 10 years. In 2016, mBank and other banks filed a cassation appeal against the Court of Appeals’ decision with the Supreme Court, demanding full annulment of the verdict or total or partial reduction of the fine. On October 25, 2017 the Supreme Court overturned the judgment of the Court of Appeal and referred the case back to the Supreme Court for reconsideration. On March 21, 2018 UOKiK reimbursed the amount of the fine to mBank account. The case is pending. |

In response to the conclusions of the study „Parental support in learning mathematics” commissioned by the mBank Foundation, a book entitled „Maths is everywhere” was written in 2017. It provides a collection of inspirations as how to, while spending time with a child, open their mind to the perception of mathematical relationships in reality. Thanks to it, the foundation tries to respond to the dynamically changing educational needs of children and help parents to meet them.
Out of all 141 outlets and 143 mKiosks (total of 284 locations), the book was distributed for free in 274 locations (96.5%). 107,000 copies of the book were ordered throughout the year. Since October 2018, the electronic version of the publication can be downloaded from www.mjakmatematyka.pl. |

| FS1 | Policies concerning social and environmental issues | |
Policy on providing services and financing to entities operating in areas that are particularly sensitive in terms of mBank’s reputation risk”, adopted in December 2015 – this policy imposes restrictions on providing services to companies from sectors which are controversial from the social perspective.
The restrictions apply to the credit process and bank account opening. They entered into force in 2016 and refer to new clients and new financing provided to existing clients. We have been a signatory to the Ten Principles of UN Global Compact since 2015. We intentionally limited our relationships with companies that break those principles. This policy imposes restrictions on providing services to companies that conduct business activity: – using child labour or forced labour or otherwise resort to gross violation of human rights; – involving economic exploitation of areas of great natural interest; – that threatens world heritage sites. |
| FS2 | Procedures of assessment and screening social and environmental risks | |
We try to eliminate legal risk when financing investments – we check whether investment projects have all required permissions and decisions of relevant authorities. We limit the risk of investing clients’ funds in projects carried out in violation of the law (e.g. projects where the necessary public consultations were not conducted or those which do not compensate for the expected environmental losses). In the case of big investment projects financed with syndicated loans, we employ a technical advisor or demand that one is employed, to supervise the investment process and monitor it on an ongoing basis. As a result we are able to identify potential irregularities, including those concerning social and environmental aspects, on time.
Additionally we apply rules concerning social and environmental risks, included in the policies: 1) Credit Risk Policy of mBank towards corporate clients – latest version was approved by the Corporate and Investment Banking Risk Committee (KRK) on 14th December 2018 „The Bank carefully approaches servicing and funding of clients or transactions for whom/which it identifies reputation risk, in particular social or environmental risk understood as unfavorable impact on society or environment by a client or investment funded by the Bank. The rules of servicing and funding such entities and transactions are determined in the “Policy of servicing and funding entities running their activity in areas particularly vulnerable from the perspective of Bank’s reputation risk”, approved by the KRK” (this description refers to the policy described in FS1) 2) mBank funding rules for defense sector approved by KRK on 14th December 2016 „mBank, by cooperating with companies from the defense sector, takes into account political, social, ethical and environmental issues which may negatively impact mBank’s reputation. In principal, mBank engages in transactions in defense sector with state-owned companies, governmental agencies and state-controlled entities”. |
