practiced by all its members. To this end, we maintain an ethical
and transparent relationship with all institutions, guided by our
Code of Ethical Conduct.
In 2022, we engaged in dialogue with public, private, and civil
society institutions to support issues on the environmental,
social, and governance agenda, as well as to contribute to
the formulation of public policies concerning sustainable
development.
Santander's primary areas of engagement in the ESG agenda,
with a focus on sustainable development, were bioeconomy,
combating deforestation, supply chain traceability, Amazon
conservation, the carbon market, and forest concessions.
Within sector-specific agendas, we actively participated
in regulatory discussions led by organizations dedicated
to formulating positions on public policies and devising
collaborative strategies and advocacy among institutions.
Please refer to the table below for a summary of our activities
