FE DESK | Sunday, 16 July 2023



Standard Chartered Bangladesh has recently been honoured as the best bank in three distinct categories at the FinanceAsia Awards 2023.
The bank was recognised for having the 'Biggest Environmental, Social, and Governance Impact' and 'Most Progressive Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion' in Bangladesh, says a press release.
Standard Chartered also claimed the title of 'Best Bank in Bangladesh' as part of the 27th iteration of the FinanceAsia Awards.


Standard Chartered has had a substantial and meaningful impact in the Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) space by launching sustainability and community engagement initiatives that are oriented around transparency, accountability, and being here for good.
The bank's recent efforts to uplift char communities, sow the seeds for a greener future through afforestation initiatives, accelerate capacity building activities across community hospitals and healthcare services, provide vulnerable communities with essential resources, and power education and training in order to facilitate future-readiness have made a difference in the lives of countless individuals nationwide.
In terms of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), Standard Chartered holds the belief that including and representing multiple voices and perspectives contributes to more out-of-the-box thinking.
By creating a safe and accessible workplace, tailoring opportunities for colleagues to bolster connection, growth, and greater success, and launching comprehensive programmes that foster a greater sense of belonging and empowerment, Standard Chartered is helping to build an environment that promotes equality, equity, a global-mindset, and greater cultural fluency.
