Adam Goldhagen – CEO, Santander Consumer UK

“At Santander Consumer Finance the diverse range of backgrounds, experiences and perspectives among our people is one of our greatest strengths. The diversity of our people fosters innovation, collaboration and contributes to our continued success. That is why we continue to commit ourselves to improving and evolving our approach to inclusion, ensuring that every individual feels valued, supported, and empowered to thrive.”

At SCUK we are deeply committed to all aspects of diversity and inclusion within our business, not only because of the moral imperative, but because it is a key driver for business performance. It is known that diverse teams outperform those that lack diversity leading to better decision-making, enhanced innovation and stronger financial results. Continuing to improve gender balance is a fundamental part of this strategy and it is for this reason that I am proud we have joined the Automotive 30% Club for the second year.

This initiative represents a powerful opportunity to make a long-lasting impact within both our organisation and the wider automotive industry. From continuous education to leadership accountability, we recognise that every element plays a crucial role in building a workplace where diversity is actively celebrated as a driver of success.

We look forward to continuing our collaboration with other like-minded organisations who share our vision for a more inclusive and balanced industry.
