Summary

At Emporiki Bank we recognize gender equality as ουr common value and its implementation in ουr daily life as a collective responsibility.

We are committed that all aspects of personnel management, i.e. recruitment, appointments, promotions, appointment in responsibility positions, salaries, transfers, education and training) should be governed by the principle of equal opportunities.

We are committed to exercise our banking activity with full respect for the cultural differences and personal dignity of the employees.
Having transparency and meritocracy as ουr guiding principles, we seek to achieve the following:

• The composition of personnel reflects societal composition.
• The composition of executives reflects the composition of personnel.
• Education and training are provided through programmes that in practice make them available to all personnel members.
• Welfare programmes aim at supporting employees and their families and at reconciling family life and professional obligations.

For Emporiki Bank, equality is not just either a matter of numerical equilibrium or implementing the required legislation. We recognize that applying the principle of equality as a value in our daily operation is a responsibility for us all and is affected by the mainstream social patterns and stereotypes. We recognize that true gender equality is also connected to changing those mentalities and stereotypes, which entrap companies, men and women and restrict or even hamper creativity.

We commit to work systematically so as together to achieve the goal of equality.
