the world is resetting, we must do our part We're taking a stand
Our Stands
We’re setting long-term ambitions on climate change, financial inclusion and globalisation.
Accelerating zero
The world must reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 to stave off the worst effects of climate change. The onus is on governments, corporations and individuals to do their part.
The need for a just transition to an inclusive, net-zero economy brings with it a huge opportunity for innovation and growth for our clients and our Bank.
Lifting participation
Women and small businesses in our core markets struggle to gain access to the financial system, preventing them from saving for their futures and growing their businesses.
Through partnerships and technology, we aim to expand the reach and scale of financial services to promote economic inclusion.
Resetting globalisation
Globalisation has lifted millions out of poverty, but left too many behind. We advocate a new model of globalisation based on transparency to build trust, and promote dialogue and innovation.
We can connect the capital, expertise and ideas needed to drive new standards and create innovative solutions for sustainable growth.
Taking a stand for impact
We have a huge opportunity to build a better future with our customers and communities.
