05/06/2026 Victoria Díaz , Alicia de Quinto , Damián Gemeno , Miguel Ángel Peña and Rubén Ortuño

What’s the cost of not being sustainable?

01/04/2025

Soledad Núñez

Imagine that, instead of living 50 more years, you were to live 200 more. Or even 500. Do you think you would use your resources as you do now, or would you rather keep a little more for tomorrow? That is what living sustainably is about: concerning ourselves not only with our own needs today but also with the needs of future generations. If you believe it would be very costly to create a sustainable world, you have no idea how expensive it would be to carry on with our unsustainable one.

In our first episode with a live audience, we talked about transparency and communication, foresight and analysis, our branch network and financial education, one of our major commitments. We also brought together two forms of the euro that are not as incompatible as they may seem: cash and the future digital euro.
