2022, with the launch of its ESG framework, Sabadell’s Commitment to Sustainability, setting specific targets for 2025-2050 across four strategic pillars. This set of commitments includes the alignment of business targets with SDGs and establishes levers for transformation and promotion actions. The main courses of action are the following:

| – | Progress as a sustainable institution: the Bank focuses on achieving greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions neutrality, on                                                                 
 making progress in diversity, on ensuring talent and on continuing to incorporate ESG criteria into its governance arrangements, in addition to collaborating in key partnerships. |

| – | Support customers in the transition to a sustainable economy: to that end, the Institution sets decarbonisation                                                                                                                                        
 pathways, supports customers in the transition with specialised solutions for renewable energies, energy efficiency and sustainable mobility, and it establishes the Environmental and Social Risk Framework, which contains sectoral rules that limit 
 controversial activities and/or activities with a negative impact on social and environmental development.                                                                                                                                             |

| – | Offer investment opportunities that contribute to sustainability: in the investor ecosystem, the Bank focuses on                                                                                                   
 increasing savings and investment opportunities that contribute to sustainability, rolling out a wide range of social, ethical, green and sustainability bonds and funds, both its own and those of third parties. |

| – | Work together for a sustainable and cohesive society: in its commitment to society, the Institution believes that it                                                                
 is imperative to take an active role to improve financial education, drive forward inclusion, minimise vulnerabilities and ensure secure transactions and exchanges of information. |

To complement this, the Bank continues to make progress in the area of sustainable finance with its ESG Activities Plan, as an operational tool that ensures achievement of the milestones stemming from the new developments and needs generated by the regulatory and supervisory environment, which have implications for the business strategy, business model, governance arrangements, risk management and reporting. Among its main courses of action, which are monitored on an ongoing basis by the Sustainability Committee, it is worth noting the mobilisation of resources and capabilities in the area of sustainable finance, the progress made with the Sustainable Finance Plan, the assurance of market disclosures and the identification of sustainable progress mechanisms in fields such as communication, training and measurement. All of these actions and goals set out in Sabadell’s Commitment to Sustainability shape the Bank’s ESG roadmap. Given the activities in which it is engaged, as at 31 December 2023, the Bank does not have any responsibilities, expenses, assets, revenues, provisions
