Social Mobility

We’re passionate about helping to improve Social Mobility. Our Social Mobility Strategy focuses on advocating for and improving outcomes for our people, customers, and communities. Our membership, and being a Founder Partner, of Progress Together is a key enabler of our Social Mobility strategy. Launched as part of a government commissioned taskforce, it is the first of its kind in the Financial Services Sector focusing on progression, retention, and socio-economic diversity.  Through this  membership, we demonstrate our commitment to leading and collaborating with others, using our influence to improve Social Mobility across the UK and within Financial Services.

Women in Finance

Our commitment to signing the  HM Treasury’s Women in Finance Charter supports our existing gender equality strategy and demonstrates our commitment to do more. We have set an ambitious 50% (+/- 10%) target (the variation of +/- 10% to reflect the timescale, the desire to develop and retain the right internal talent, and the existing availability of senior women in the financial services industry).

Gender Pay Reports

All businesses with more than 250 employees are expected to report annually on gender pay and bonus gaps. In the below reports we provide detail on the figures and the ways in which we are addressing positive change. As part of our commitment to transparency in 2020, Santander UK voluntarily disclosed our ethnicity pay gap for the first time, details of which are included in the report.

People Networks

Our employee-led networks champion and support colleagues through mentoring programmes, workshops and speaker events.

Our People Stories

We know it’s our people who make us who we are. We believe that having a diverse range of backgrounds and perspectives makes us stronger and we aim to reflect and celebrate diversity in our workplace by creating a inclusive culture.
