Environment

Considering the consequences of our actions

Standard Chartered is committed to considering the environment and the impact we have as part of everything we do.

At Standard Chartered, we consider the environment - and the impact we have on it - as part of everything we do.

Comparative with some other sectors, our direct environmental impact is relatively small - but we are committed to minimising it across all areas of our business. As well as integrating environmental and sustainable development criteria into our lending decisions, we're opening up new low carbon, low pollution markets through innovative products and services, such as financing renewable energy projects and clean technologies.

We recognise that to truly deliver in these areas, we must engage our people and other stakeholders in protecting the environment, making them aware of its importance and the difference that can be made.
