“Euros from your salary” is an initiative that brings together employees at Santander España and the Corporate Centre. It finishes another edition full of projects to help those most vulnerable.

This year we’re celebrating the 14th edition of “Euros from your salary”, an initiative that reminds us that solidarity is a value of Santander’s workforce in Spain. Through this initiative employees donate part of their salary and the bank matches their contribution to raise funds for social projects. 

In this edition, 2,700 employees made donations to the fund that together with the bank, raised €537,114 in 2021. But their work didn’t stop there: employees also submitted initiatives to support, which this year totalled 196 projects from 168 social entities.

Then, a committee formed by people from the Group's divisions and companies selected 32 finalists, which 3,572 employees voted for online to name the 12 winners.

The money raised this year for the Euros from your salary fund will help over 300,000 people through 12 winning projects, each of which will get €44,759.

This programme makes us proud, not only because of our commitment to inclusive and sustainable growth in society, but also because of the undeniable solidarity of our teams.
