Corporate Social Responsibility or CSR is an integral component of modern business practices that reflects a company’s commitment towards societal well-being. It can be viewed as a catalytic agent for creating a robust sustainable and resilient business model, yielding benefits for both the company and the broader community as well. In that light, as one of the top international banking organizations, Standard Chartered Bank (SCB) considers its CSR to be of utmost importance. The organization strongly believes in the role of the banking and finance sector in creating a brighter future by making a difference across its footprint. Its long-term ambitions on climate, financial inclusion and globalization is a clear reflection of SCB’s dedication towards mitigating risks associated with environmental and social issues.
In the face of emerging global issues, such dedication points towards the organizations’ endeavors of generating value by supporting innovation, attracting socially conscious consumers, and ensuring the resilience. As such, SCB’s mission encapsulated within the phrase “Here for good,” is committed to providing financial services to clients who manage their environmental and social impacts responsibly. Considering that, SCB is hiring Development Research Initiative (dRi) for developing a comprehensive Project Monitoring Framework, monitoring tools, run requirement specific project monitoring activities, and implement outcome harvesting for its Agriculture CSR activities. It is expected that the initiative will strengthen the effectiveness and impact assessment of the CSR projects across various sectors.
