Around 85% of employees engaged in at least one Health-
related initiative in 2022.
Here are some of the most notable ones:
⚫ Flu Vaccination: Over 30,000 employees were vaccinated in
2022 at our stores and administrative buildings.
.
Physical activity practice: We offer in-company BioRitmo
gyms in three administrative buildings for exclusive use by
employees. Through GymPass and Total Pass, we provide
employees and their families with access to 24,000 gyms and
studios across Brazil, in addition to online classes and more than
30 health apps.
.
Track&Field Run Series: Employees enrolled in the national
street running circuit sponsored by the Bank receive a 45% to
100% discount on the registration fee to encourage regular
physical activity. The discounts are also extended to Santander
customers with the same objective.
.
Being Born: The program provides health monitoring for
female employees during pregnancy and postpartum, as well
as specialized care for high-risk cases. It also offers support and
guidance throughout the adoption process. Pregnant women are
exempt from copayment for medical consultations and exams
from the moment they enroll in the program, and this benefit
extends to their babies until their first year of life. Additionally,
we encourage breastfeeding by providing three lactation rooms
in central areas and a breast pump kit, in addition to reducing
work hours by one hour until the baby's 12th month.
• Mental Health at Work: Based on the premise of promoting
a state of well-being in which employees recognize their
own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, work
productively, and are able to make contributions to their
environment, we began hosting live stream events on our
social media platforms in 2022, aimed at raising awareness
of emotional aspects (24 in total). We covered topics such as
Adolescent Depression, Mental Health and Wellness, Toxic
Relationships and Self-Esteem, and Autism (including challenges
for parents and individuals with autism spectrum disorder and
ADHD diagnosis), in addition to building a leadership training
path to establish a psychologically safe environment, preventing
and addressing psychosocial risks.
We also launched the "Healthy Mind" neuroscience series,
which covers a range of topics including sleep, emotional
management, diagnosis of mental illnesses, and habit change.
Its aim is to generate mental triggers for self-care and more
sustainable choices, with the goal of lifestyle transformation.
Specialized Personal Support Program ("PAPE"): Available
24/7 via phone, email, and a chat app for all employees and their
families, PAPE is the foremost social support strategy among
our internal initiatives, encompassing pregnancy monitoring,
return-to-work support, disability assistance, and group
discussions. PAPE specialists also offer in-person assistance to
employees in cases of violence, such as robbery and kidnapping.
• Preventive Exams: We provide routine medical consultations
to assess the health status, lifestyle habits, and potential health
risks of employees, enabling us to offer personalized care.
The consultations take place in exclusive units of Sírio Libanês
Hospital, staffed by a multidisciplinary team and offering
primary care services.
• Return Well Program: Work adaptations and multidisciplinary
support for employees returning from prolonged medical

absences under the National Social Security System ("INSS").
Since its inception in 2014, the program has served nearly 5,000
employees, who have benefited from the readjustment of their
work environments. Managers have been trained to facilitate a
gradual return to work. The initiative was recognized as the Best
Rehabilitation Program in Brazil in 2016 and was presented at the
2019 Work Disability Prevention and Integration International
Congress in Odense, Denmark.
⚫ Prevention and assessment of occupational accidents and
diseases: The consolidation of the impacts of Health and Safety
at Work ("HSW") actions has contributed to the optimization of
absenteeism and consequent increase in productivity.
Healthy and safe work environment
We provide training programs aimed at mitigating the risks of
accidents, offering guidance to employees on how to optimize
their work environment from an ergonomic and postural
perspective.
Whenever deemed necessary, we adapt to comply with health
and safety regulations. Training sessions are provided at the
Santander Academy and are tailored to the specific type of
activity performed (central areas, branches, and mini branches).
The Internal Accident Prevention Commission, or CIPA, is present
in our administrative centers and operates with the participation
of elected employees.

We encourage our employees to utilize alternative means of
transportation that have a lesser impact on the environment.
To support this objective, we have made available a total of 455
bicycle parking spaces at our Santander headquarters, Radar,
and Digital Generation I buildings.
Public civil action
During the period of 2014 to 2017, the Public Labor Prosecutor's
Office ("MPT") filed public civil lawsuits against the Bank, citing
moral damages due to inadequate labor practices. In 2022,
an appellate court decision mandated the payment of R$ 275
million in compensation. However, Banco Santander appealed
the decision and successfully suspended it until the release of
this report.
Over the past few years, we have built a healthy work
environment, grounded in respect, inclusion, and equity. Our
value proposition is aligned with best market practices in
terms of compensation, benefits, well-being, professional
development support, and diversity appreciation.

of Ethical Conduct, and the Supplier Code of Conduct.

Network Institute of the Global Compact.

We strive to establish relationships with suppliers whose
