Sustainable development
Sustainable development is one of the core pillars of BGK's strategy for 2021-2025. Our strategic approach to sustainability is reflected in the goals of our business model programmes.
In 2023, we have launched an offer “Financing to support sustainable investment”, in which we include criteria linked to sustainable development.

Digital and process transformation
The rollout of digital technologies in BGK accounts for a comprehensive view of modern trends and challenges in the area of digitisation of financial institutions. We have successfully deployed modern systems that integrate and perform key business processes and functions (e.g. electronic channels, payment platform).
We have also been reducing the level of technical debt. At the same time, we provide modern work tools, we make work faster, easier and safer. The key elements of the pillar are automation and robotisation, which reduce repetitive work and allow employees to focus on strategic development tasks.
Effective management model
At present, we are focusing on issues related to, among other things, adjustment of conditions to interdisciplinary work, building a feedback culture, and building informal matrix structures of projects.
To facilitate interdisciplinary work, we have implemented IT tools. They enhance communication within teams – including during work in hybrid mode. Matrix-based teams stimulate the potential of employees and forge synergies between different competence areas.
