Standard Chartered Bank

Company Profile

For Standard Chartered, sustainability is a core part of our strategy, echoed through the Bank’s commitment to supporting the transition across ASEAN. With a long-standing presence in parts of the world where sustainable finance can have a significant impact, Standard Chartered facilitates the movement of capital to where it is needed most.

With Singapore’s growing leadership in green finance, the role the nation plays as a connector for the region is crucial. As the only international bank present in all 10 ASEAN markets, Standard Chartered is well-positioned to leverage its network from Singapore as an Asia super-connector, to provide the necessary expertise and help catalyse available capital to drive climate action.

Against this backdrop, having our Sustainability Foundation Curriculum accredited by IBF is an important milestone in our journey towards becoming a skills-first organisation, and aligned to our Cross-border and Affluent Banking strategy.

Standard Chartered is focused on ensuring their employees complete this learning journey and enhance their development. At the same time, it will continue to work with other academic institutes and industry bodies to ensure that its training programmes remain relevant in the face of a rapidly evolving landscape.
