Standard Chartered: Empowering girls to be agents of change

Standard Chartered is a leading international banking group.

Many of the locations in which it operates are low income countries with high levels of gender inequality. The bank is therefore taking action to make positive social and economic contributions. Since 2006, Standard Chartered has supported girls, to take on leadership roles in their communities through the Goal programme.

“We are asking ourselves: How can we use the bank’s resources to help these girls reach their aspirations?”
