Our work environment is a reflection of our social commitment to being a company where people can be themselves. Every Santander employee represents a part of our diverse society. We believe diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) are essential to our corporate strategy regarding specific areas where our Group can help businesses and people prosper. We run DEI initiatives on gender equality; equal work for equal pay; sexual, ethnic and cultural diversity; and the inclusion of people with disabilities.

We always put forward new ways for employees, customers, shareholders, investors and society at large to progress against the growing challenges shared by everyone in today's age. From Europe to the Americas, we champion values like equal opportunity, diversity, non-discrimination, zero-tolerance for bullying and sexual harassment in the workplace, respect for individuals and collective rights, and a work-life balance, all of which is set out in our General code of conduct.
DEI is the key to being a responsible bank. 40% of our diverse board of directors are women, in line with our gender balance target of 40%-60%. To develop innovative solutions, we rely on the different views and experiences of everyone that makes up our bank. With every difference we embrace, our company thrives and helps society accomplish the goals everyone shares.

Our corporate culture policy and DEI principles move Grupo Santander to foster and celebrate diversity in terms of sex, gender, race, age, physical and intellectual disability, career background, education, religion, values, sexual orientation and identity.
Still, we can do more to build on the unique strengths we gain from the diversity that is key to our company. And we are, by promoting inclusion so that each and every one of us at Santander feels free to realize our utmost potential. Our balanced regional diversification informs our commitment to spreading awareness about why cultural diversity matters and how unconscious bias influences decisions and actions.
Because of our DEI programmes and initiatives, we've garnered praise from prestigious institutions and publications. In the Bloomberg Gender Equality Index 2023, Santander was the highest-scoring bank and the second-highest scoring entity among the 484 reviewed companies across 11 sectors and 45 countries.
The Group prioritizes diversity, equity and inclusion to attract, develop and retain the best talent, achieve the best, most sustainable outcomes, and build a better future for everyone. Making Santander a place where we can be ourselves is our unique way of doing more — and better — to help people and businesses prosper all over the world.
