What changed at Santander

Santander shares best practices of inclusion resulting from their active participation in the Commitment to Inclusion by Inclusive Community Forum

The Inclusive Community Forum recorded a series of testimonies from companies that have signed the Commitment to Inclusion, about the challenges these companies face, the strategies used to surpass them, and suggestions that they give to other organizations that are on the path to implement an inclusive recruitment.

Santander was one of the first 24 companies to sign the Commitment to Inclusion, in March 2019.

Since then, a lot has changed in the bank: they found new partners for the inclusive recruitment; they built an internal process for the inclusive recruitment, which has led to the creation of new routines and to the implementation of new methodologies; they identified, within the bank, "champions" to raise awareness in all employees and spread the defined actions; until they reached the moment in which they recruited people with disabilities again.

The development and evolvement of this process led to the creation of an inclusive and diversity ecosystem at Santander.

Watch Santander's testimony, and become inspired to change:

"Foodprint" – The Environmental Impact of Human Diet

Food has been increasingly feeding climate change – not just our bodies: it is currently the main contribu-tor to the Ecological Footprint in many parts of the world. The detrimental effects of our dietary pat-terns on Planet Earth's health have even surpassed those of fossil fuels in the transportation sector for a significant proportion of countries. How are our plates flying higher than planes in the pollution land-scape?

Nova SBE has the ambition to become carbon neutral by 2040-45

Nova SBE’s dean, Pedro Oliveira, explained that the school's commitment to sustainability involves initiatives related to investment in research, establishing new partnerships with institutions such as Harvard or MIT and the School´s self-production of energy.

The importance of data and statistic analysis to the achievement of the SDGs

This paper was written, by a student, as a brief discussion of one of the topics presented in the Global Impact Mindset: UN SDG Module of NOVA SBE. The importance of Data for the achievement of the SDGs is a consensual topic over demographic and organs. Decision-makers require data and statistics that are precise, timely, suitably disaggregated, pertinent, available, and simple to use to properly implement and track progress on the SDGs. Over time, both the quantity and quality of data have gradually increased. Data literacy must be improved at all levels of decision-making, and statistical competence still needs to be strengthened. The data producers and users from various data systems will need to work together on this. In order to solve the complex issues surrounding sustainable development, it will also be necessary to create new methods for producing and using data and statistics.
