About us
A distinctive culture that drives our purpose
Learn about our culture, including the role of our valued behaviours and our long-term ambitions, our Stands.
With our focus on connecting corporate, institutional and affluent clients to a network that offers unique access to sustainable growth opportunities across Asia, Africa and the Middle East, we remain the bank we set out to be over 170 years ago.
Our distinctive culture has been developed in pursuit of our purpose – to drive commerce and prosperity through our unique diversity. We deliver innovative solutions that create long-term value for our clients and the communities within which we operate.
We’re committed to promoting equality and inclusion, as it’s our diversity – of people, cultures and networks – that sets us apart and helps us drive business growth. We are guided by our valued behaviours, our Stands and our brand promise, here for good.
Our inclusive culture remains a source of competitive differentiation for us.
