The Culture Builders Deep Dive – Standard Chartered Bank & culture change through ethical investment

2020 has made a dramatic entrance, with a number of world events putting the issues of global warming, climate change and carbon reduction at the very front of all of our minds. The changes needed run through every culture – local, national, global and, critically, organisational. To make lasting shifts that will slow global warming, we need organisations to take significant action. 

We got the opportunity to find out how one company – Standard Chartered Bank – is driving this change with its shifting focus onto ethical investment. Samantha Bramley, Director, Environmental and Social Risk Management, joined us on our latest Deep-Dive podcast to talk about how the bank is re-focusing on ethical issues and the impact this is having on the organisation.

Samantha draws out a story of change that it compelling and cause for hope. The impact of her and the wider team’s work is major, both for the organisations they fund and for the culture of the bank. They’ve started a positive movement that is changing the way people think and act. And that can only be a good thing.
