Our commitments
Our commitments to society are strong. We prioritise the construction of a sustainable future, the growth of SMEs as the backbone of the economy and the promotion and development of talent.
Commitment to SMEs and promoting local communities
SMEs are the backbone of our economy and at Banco Sabadell we are firmly committed to fuelling their growth. That is why we understand and support the organisations we work with in projects of different kinds.
In addition to our commitment to SMEs, we are also committed to boosting the local communities in which we operate. This is why we develop projects throughout Spain, supporting the local business fabric.
Sustainable commitment
Our purpose is clear: to support and accelerate transformations that contribute to sustainable development in the fight against climate change. Our framework is the foundation for the future of our ESG commitments and aligns our business objectives with the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals). We have established four key pillars as the foundation of our sustainable commitment:
- Moving forward as a sustainable entity: we integrate social, environmental and good governance aspects into our management.
- Supporting our customers in the transition to a sustainable economy: we provide them with the information, advice, products and services they need.
- Offering investment opportunities that contribute to sustainability: we promote sustainable finance and make it a comprehensive part of the strategy and offering for customers.
- Working together for a sustainable and cohesive society: we contribute to the transition to a sustainable and more cohesive society through responsible and ethical management.
