In its efforts to fulfil its mission in keeping with the above values and criteria, the Banc Sabadell Foundation has three scopes of action which enable it to achieve its objectives and project its strategy in the medium term.
Culture
The activities of the Foundation in this field aim to foster and disseminate the arts and scientific, technical, social and human knowledge. We understand culture as a set of relations between persons and believe that it is a key factor in the development and progress of contemporary societies. The engagements of the foundation in this field aim to offer the public the best of productions in the field of scenic and visual arts, promote education and facilitate the public’s access to knowledge. They are cultural activities of all types, seminars, organisation of exhibitions, etc., at different locations under our regional influence. Also via operations for the conservation of heritage, an essential basis for out future.
In this field we distinguish between Innovation, the promotion of the arts and contemporary thinking. And by Tradition, the sponsorship of classical culture and the conservation of our cultural legacy and support for popular culture. In this respect the Foundation is tasked with maintaining the Historic Archive of Banc Sabadell, currently in a process of growth and consolidation.
Talent
In addition to disseminating the arts and knowledge, the Banc Sabadell Foundation also seeks to discover, acknowledge and accompany talented persons. Thus, the Foundation supports innovation and excellence in science, the arts or business throughout all stages.
With our activity we are creating a network of persons all working in these fields and who guarantee the overall enhancement of society thanks to their talent.
- Emerging talents: This includes those actions in which the chief aim is to identify and foster talented young people or those with potential and innovative projects by artists, young scientists and entrepreneurs. For example, the Foundation collaborates with awards for creation and for companies or with grants for excellence awarded by institutions of every kind.
- Recognised talents: In this case the Banc Sabadell Foundation focuses on consolidated careers and works to acknowledge and accompany talent which has matured and given fruit. The most usual type of action in this case are awards for projects or persons who engage in notable activities.
Solidarity
The Banc Sabadell Foundations understands solidarity as a form of contributing to sustainability and balance in society. Activities in this field have been carried out in conjunction with institutions working on attention to persons and society in general.
The Foundation focuses on the new needs arising in an extraordinary economic period which demands fresh efforts, not only by foundations but also the financial institutions themselves.
In this context it analyses and addresses all the Bank’s needs in the matter of Corporate Social Responsibility.
