Financial markets are playing an increasingly important role in promoting responsible investment. As trading platforms connecting investors with companies, securities exchanges support the process by incorporating ESG criteria (E-environmental, S-social and G-governance) into their business operations and by promoting and educating market participants in ESG factors. The GPW Group not only focuses on conducting its business in a sustainable and responsible manner but also significantly influences the development of responsible attitudes among participants of the markets it organises.
Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE) and the companies within the WSE Group conduct their operations in accordance with the highest business standards, principles of corporate governance, and with due consideration for social, employee, ethical, and environmental responsibilities, including efforts to reduce environmental impact.
In the years 2022–2025, ESG activities of the WSE Group were carried out based on the “WSE Group ESG Strategy 2025,” which defined ambitions and objectives across three areas: environmental, social, and governance. Currently, sustainability matters are treated as an integral part of the WSE Group’s business strategy and have been incorporated into the Strategic Development Directions of the WSE Group for 2025–2027.
The Strategic Development Directions for 2025–2027 focus on the development of the capital market and the creation of long-term value for shareholders and stakeholders, supported by modern technologies and aligned with best practices in sustainable development. Under this approach, ESG activities are not treated as a separate area, but rather as a component strengthening the Group’s development, market trust, financial education, green finance, and responsible stakeholder relations.
The WSE Group’s activities contribute positively to the achievement of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for 2030.
The WSE Group actively supports six selected Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that are most relevant to the Exchange’s operations and its subsidiaries, as well as to their role on the Polish financial and commodity markets and the needs of their stakeholder groups.






The GPW Group’s ESG Strategy sets out the directions of the GPW Group’s activities under three pillars: environmental, social, and governance.
We support issuers in integrating ESG factors into their business strategy. We help companies identify those ESG factors which will a significant impact on the company’s business in the coming years, manage them and report non-financial data in a reliable way. We have for many years promoted high standards of corporate governance and communication among issuers defined in the Best Practice for GPW Listed Companies 2021.
The goal of our Group is to provide a wide range of products, including indices, other instruments, and market data, which will be based on ESG factors.
One of the elements of the aforementioned strategy was the launch of the Warsaw Sustainable Segment.
We work with our stakeholders, public administration, institutions, national and international organisations to promote dialogue on sustainability issues. We build relationships with our Partners based on trust and respect for mutual interests. Domestically and internationally, we are committed to working together to develop regulatory and business-friendly solutions which support sustainable investing.
