We encourage investments that reduce the burden on the environment and contribute to the transition to a low-carbon economy. The Bank's operations follow national and international environmental standards and sustainable development guidelines.

Sponsorships and donations

SID Banka's Approach to the Allocation of Sponsorship and Donor Funds

SID banka takes into account the Recommendations and expectations of the Slovenian State Holding in both sponsorships and donations, and thus also the principles of transparency, economy, efficiency and effectiveness.   

 

In doing so, we also take into account the principle of proportionality, the principle of objective justification of sponsorship in relation to the expected benefits of the bank and the principle of sufficient diversification.
