At Santander Argentina, we’re working with co-ops to process waste from our main offices and branches in towns with recycling systems. Read more in this article (in Spanish) by Santander Post.
In Spain, in 2019 we became the first bank to receive “Zero waste” certification from AENOR for waste management and employee awareness measures at the Santander Group City, for which as much as 90% of the waste we make goes back into the value chain.
Our Group's milestones include carbon-neutrality in all operations and, this year, we’re working on eliminating unnecessary single-use plastic at our branches. Other goals we've set for ourselves are sourcing electricity entirely from renewable resources by 2025 and achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
