Corporate Affairs

Standard Chartered Bank's reputation is one of our most valuable assets. Our Corporate Affairs team is responsible for protecting and building the reputation of the bank. Our reputation encourages more customers to choose to bank with us, staff to work with us, regulators and governments to grant us new branch and product licences enabling the group to deliver shareholder value.

No day is ever the same in Corporate Affairs. You could be, writing a speech for the Chairman, handling media enquiries, promoting a sponsorship, supporting the business launch a new product, explaining the Group's financial results to shareholders, working with Non-Government Organizations on our Seeing is Believing initiative which involves restoring eyesight to 10 million people across 20 countries or preparing a communications plan for senior management ahead of a major announcement.

Group: There are seven main functions within Corporate Affairs:

• External Communications - manages relationships with the media and plays a leading role in financial communications.
• Internal Communications - creates passion, understanding and commitment from all employees to drive business results.
• Public Affairs - ensures that the bank's voice is heard in the right places of government in all the markets we operate in.
• Investor Relations - maximises the true value of our share price through effective communication to all stakeholders.
• Sustainability - focuses on activities that not only enhance our business performance now and for the long-term, but which enhance the economic development of the countries we operate in, have a positive impact on the environment and society as well as contribute to good governance.
• Brand and Sponsorship - makes the brand promise (The Right Partner- Leading by Example) the umbrella for all we do, deeply embedded in the organisation and culture.
• eMedia - designs, functionality, usability and content management of the Bank's Corporate Website and intranet (SCyBernet) which are vital channels for communicating with our stakeholders.
