The paper employs a threshold regression framework conditioned by two COVID-19 related proxies, to investigate whether Bitcoin and Ether exhibit short-term safe haven or diversiefir features for stock and bond markets. Both cryptocurrencies fulfil a diversiefir role for the responsible investments represented by sustainable stock market indices, a safe haven role for major bond markets and a mixed role for a selection of representative stock market indices. Furthermore, in times characterized by an increasing number of COVID-19 daily cases or deaths the statistical relationship between both cryptocurrencies and the main nfiancial market determinants weakens.

Research background: The issue of sustainable activities of banks is significant because after the last global financial crisis of 2007 (2007 GFC) they have become a symbol of speculation and injustice. These are the financial intermediaries that are blamed for the failure to apply social responsibility standards. Furthermore, the analysis of the literature of the subject confirms the higher standards of social responsibility in developed countries compared with developing ones. Therefore, the question of the level of implementation of social responsibility standards by financial intermediaries in Poland is justified. Goal of the article: The main objective of the study is to identify and assess some chosen aspects of socially responsible activities of the banks listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange. The scope of this analysis encompasses all dimensions illustrating banks’ activities in terms of social responsibility. Methodology/methods: The analysis of the investigated dilemma was based mainly on the desk research of digital and documentary sources. Findings and Value added: The results indicate relatively huge differences in the implementation of sustainability standards in Polish banks and high dispersion compared to the banks in developed countries. The findings indicate that banks in Poland should focus on increasing sustainability standards, especially in their product offer.

Banki po ostatnim globalnym kryzysie finansowym w 2007 r. (GKF 2007) stały się symbolem spekulacji i niesprawiedliwości. Obwinia się je za niestosowanie standardów odpowiedzialności społecznej. Dodatkowo, analiza literatury przedmiotu potwierdza wyższe standardy społecznej odpowiedzialności stosowane w krajach rozwiniętych. Dlatego kwestia oceny sposobu wdrażania standardów odpowiedzialności społecznej przez pośredników finansowych w Polsce jest uzasadniona. Głównym celem badania jest identyfikacja i ocena wybranych aspektów społecznej odpowiedzialności w działalności banków notowanych na Giełdzie Papierów Wartościowych w Warszawie. Zastosowano metodę badawczą zwaną analizą treści opartą głównie na analizie źródeł cyfrowych. Wyniki wskazują na stosunkowo duże różnice we wdrażaniu standardów społecznej odpowiedzialności w polskich bankach i wysokie dyspersje w porównaniu do banków w krajach rozwiniętych. Wyniki wskazują, że banki w Polsce powinny koncentrować się na podwyższaniu swoich standardów, szczególnie w swojej ofercie produktowej.
