Gender Pay Gap Reporting
We are committed to creating a culture that values and champions diversity, and creates equality of opportunity for all. This is a commitment that starts at the very top of our organisation and flows throughout it.
The gender pay gap takes into account all roles at all levels of the organisation, rather than comparing pay received by women and men performing the same roles. We regularly review and analyse our employee pay to ensure men and women are treated equally when performing the same role. We are, therefore, confident that we do not have an equal pay issue at Santander UK.

recognition agreements with the Communication Workers Union - recognised in the former Alliance & Leicester parts of the business
Both unions are affiliated to the Trade Union Congress.
