our philosophy
We are committed to promoting economic and social development in the markets we serve, doing so sustainably and equitably in line with our purpose and three valued behaviours: ‘Never settle’, ‘Better together’ and ‘Do the right thing'.
Our Sustainability philosophy sets out how we integrate Sustainability into our organisational decision-making.
investing in communities
We work with local partners to support healthy and economically-empowered communities. Through Futuremakers by Standard Chartered, we are delivering programmes for young people in our communities focused on education, employability and entrepreneurship.
our priorities
We focus on three key areas: contributing to sustainable economic growth, being a responsible company and investing in communities.
Our Sustainability aspirations build on these pillars with a set of actions and measurable targets. These help us track sustainable outcomes across our business, and particularly through the Banking Services we provide to individuals and companies across our markets.
sustainable economic growth

being a responsible company
We strive to be a more responsible bank, underpinned by strong processes throughout our organisation. We're determined to fight financial crime, minimise our environmental impact, invest in our people and embed our values across our business in the markets where we operate.
