Standard Chartered Bank: Sustainable Finance

The environmental, economic and social costs of climate change are well known. Their impacts are becoming increasingly evident, especially in those countries that have limited capacity to mitigate against, and adapt to, the key risks associated with climate change.

At Standard Chartered we recognise that as a leading international bank we have an exceptional ability and responsibility to contribute to the long-term sustainability of our planet. By far the biggest impact we have on society and our environment is through our support for the business activities of our clients. Our financing decisions – who and what we finance – enable us to make our strongest contribution to sustainable development. We seek to lead by example and we work with clients who share our commitment to driving sustainable economic growth, and protecting the environment.

At the WFES, Standard Chartered Bank will host the “Standard Chartered Future Theatre” for the third time running, where renewable energy experts from world over will discuss and debate developments and case studies from the renewable energy and clean tech sector. Led by Standard Chartered’s Renewable Energy & Environmental Finance team, well known for their leading role in principal finance, mergers and acquisitions, equity raising, advising, financing renewable and green energy deals, the Future Theatre program offers delegates a unique insight into the latest trends and “hot” sectors like nuclear energy, solar power and carbon capture and storage (“CCS), key global issues like water-energy nexus and financing-related topics like the M&A outlook for the industry.

The Standard Chartered Future Theatre is open to all exhibition and conference delegates free of charge.
