The initiatives reach 15.9 million people, including vulnerable women, young people, the elderly and the disabled.
AEB institutions and their foundations allocated a total of 1,972 million euros to social action in 2025, reaching 15.9 million beneficiaries. This is highlighted in a report prepared in collaboration with EY, which shows how social vocation is part of the raison d’être of credit institutions.
Beyond the volume of funding for this type of initiative, the study shows how they generate opportunities, inclusion, support and a radical change in the lives of the beneficiaries, with very positive impacts on 2.1 million women at risk of exclusion, 900,000 young people, 1.5 million social entrepreneurs, 1.3 million elderly people and 13,000 people with disabilities, among others.
The lines of action include those aimed at promoting financial education, employment and entrepreneurship, social inclusion, culture and research, scholarships and support for vulnerable groups.
The results of the report reflect a social action that combines interventions of different nature, adapting to different needs and contexts, and contributing in a complementary way to the generation of social value.
