We’re aiding the transition to a more sustainable economy by addressing climate change with comprehensive, sustainable and green finance. Our financing decisions also consider social and environmental issues.
We believe that we can help more people prosper and enjoy the benefits of growth by empowering them financially: giving them access to tailored financial products and services, and improving their financial resilience through education.
At Santander, we believe education is key to financial inclusion and protecting users of financial services.
We believe that education is the bedrock of a fair society and strong economy. We have created a world leading network of universities, through which we help people access education and learn new skills.
We believe that we can play a major role to improve lives in the communities where we operate. We run numerous initiatives and local projects to support childhood education and improve the quality of life of people.
