International Business Magazine just named Standard Chartered Bangladesh the best CSR bank in Bangladesh and the most creative digital bank.
According to a press statement, the bank got the two coveted prizes for its excellent dedication to corporate social responsibility and innovation in the digital banking area.
Winning these accolades shows the bank’s commitment to quality and contribution to the industry.
Standard Chartered has earned the distinction of “Best CSR Bank” in Bangladesh by implementing a number of sustainability and community involvement initiatives that complement Bangladesh’s developing social, developmental, environmental, and economic needs.
In recent months, the Bank has worked with Friendship to provide end-to-end agricultural support to 7,000 char-based farmers; 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 variety of other projects, the Bank has planted thousands of trees across Bangladesh to address climate change and developed online and offline learning initiatives.
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.
