Environmental Protection
At Standard Chartered, we consider the environment - and the impact we have on it - as part of everything we do. 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.
Standard Chartered works closely with our global partners to
Establish a Sustainable Business Council whose main objective is to identify commercial opportunities relevant to environmental protection. We financed the world’s largest photovoltaic plant in South Korea in May 2007.
Commit to the Clinton Global Initiative to finance USD 8-10 billion on renewable energy and clean technology projects in Asia, Africa, and Middle East in next five years.

I won’t leave my tap running while I brush my teeth
I will spend a minute less in the shower each day;
If I have to print, I will print two pages to a sheet or print double sided;
I will reuse or refuse a plastic bag three times a week;
I will turn the lights out when I leave the room;
I will alter my room temperature by a degree, depending on the season;
I will visit the ‘My Environment’ tour to learn more about the actions I can take;
I will measure my carbon footprint using the online Carbon Calculator.

Donate USD 1 million to World Wild Life Foundation (WWF) to support its activities, researches and events.
