Abstract

Los procesos de liberalización económica acontecidos tanto en Europa como en Latinoamérica han hecho que el sector financiero español elija estas regiones para expandir su actividad. La adopción de una dimensión internacional ha permitido a la banca española adoptar un papel de liderazgo. Este hecho, unido al ya de por sí importante papel que juegan las finanzas para el desarrollo de la economía hace que sea necesario que estas entidades desarrollen su actividad de manera responsable. Este trabajo analiza la gestión de los aspectos sociales y medioambientales por parte de la banca española, concretamente se analiza el caso del comportamiento social y medioambientalmente responsable de Banco Santander y BBVA en su proceso de internacionalización. Se demuestra en este estudio que las iniciativas concretas surgidas con la finalidad de fomentar la implantación de la RSC en las entidades financieras son muy heterogéneas entre sí. A pesar de estar asistiendo en los últimos años a un impulso en el número de publicaciones relativas a RSC, éstas se ocupan en su gran mayoría de los impactos internos de las operaciones bancarias, así como de las actividades de tipo filantrópico. The economic liberalization processes that have taken place in both Europe and Latin America have led the Spanish financial sector to choose these regions to expand its activity. The adoption of an international dimension has allowed Spanish banks to take a leading role. This fact, together with the already important role played by finance for the development of the economy, makes it necessary for these entities to carry out their activities responsibly. This paper analyzes the management of social and environmental aspects by the Spanish banking sector, specifically analyzing the case of socially and environmentally responsible behavior of Banco Santander and BBVA in its internationalization process. It is demonstrated in this study that the concrete initiatives that have emerged with the aim of promoting the implementation of CSR in financial institutions are very heterogeneous. Despite the fact that in recent years there has been an increase in the number of publications related to CSR, most of them deal with the internal impacts of banking operations and philanthropic activities.
