Responsible banking

Santander has cemented its leadership in sustainable investment in Spain by launching its first bond for retail customers under Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) criteria. The product has a 90% guaranteed principal and presents customers with the chance to invest in profitable projects that have a positive social impact, with as little as €5,000.

The subject of green finance has come to prominence on a global stage and become a huge talking point in the investment banking world, even more so since the COVID19 pandemic began. Today, as climate change climbs the ranks in both the political and news agendas, there is a huge rising demand for ‘responsible’ investment products and practices.
