Standard Chartered Bangladesh recently claimed the titles of “Best CSR Bank” and “Most Innovative Digital Bank” at this year’s International Business Magazine Awards.
To earn the title of “Best CSR Bank” in Bangladesh, Standard Chartered has implemented a variety of sustainability and community engagement efforts that complement Bangladesh’s evolving social, developmental, environmental, and economic needs.
In recent months, the Bank has collaborated with Friendship to provide 7,000 char-based farmers with end-to-end agricultural support; accelerated capacity building efforts by donating oxygen plants to three community hospitals; and partnered with UCEP to facilitate job readiness for underprivileged youth.
In addition to a number of other activities, the Bank has also planted thousands of trees across Bangladesh to combat climate change and launched initiatives – both online and offline – that promote learning.
Standard Chartered claimed the award for “Most Innovative Digital Bank” for continuously exploring trends and new technologies in order to deliver best-in-class experiences, achieve transformative growth, and champion going cashless.
