We see sustainability as fundamental to the needs of tomorrow’s world, and it demands a new way of investing. At Santander Asset Management we are committed to this change, and we see Socially Responsible Investment (SRI) as a source of value for investments. Our strategy reflects our commitment both to contribute to the UN Sustainable Development Goals and to the Paris Climate Agreement’s goals to combat climate change and adapt to its effects.

Since 2021 Santander Asset Management is part of the global Net Zero Asset Managers initiative through which we commit to supporting investment aligned with the global net-zero greenhouse gas emissions target, in line with our fiduciary responsibilities and our clients’ mandates.

Santander Asset Management has a full-time dedicated SRI expert team - responsible for developing and implementing our ESG analysis methodology.  They go beyond industry benchmarks to bring added insight and conviction. Embedding ESG criteria enables our managers to identify crucial elements that determine competitive advantages and flag potential risks, giving them a more complete understanding of the assets analysed and enabling them to make better informed investment decisions.

Santander Asset Management's commitment to SRI has several lines of action:

Highlights

• Santander Asset Management signs UN-supported Principles for Responsible Investment in July 2020. Signing the internationally-recognised Principles for Responsible Investment demonstrates our commitment to responsible investment, and places us at the heart of a global community seeking to build a more sustainable financial system.
  
   
• SAM has over EUR 70.4 billion in SRI assets under management (March 2026).
