Employee volunteering
Why do we offer every Standard Chartered colleague three days of paid leave each year to volunteer?
We do this because we know volunteering not only benefits the communities in which we operate, but is also rewarding for our employees, and is at the heart of who we are as a business. Standard Chartered colleagues can use their days to volunteer to support Futuremakers or other charitable causes.
Our employees’ contribution
- In 2023, our employees contributed 76,126 days of volunteering.
- Over 61 per cent of our colleagues volunteered through a range of impactful activities.
- 96 per cent of colleagues felt that volunteering was an important part of their overall well-being, and had a positive impact on the organisations for which they volunteered.
What’s next?
From 2024, we are focusing even more on skills-based volunteering. As well as traditional activities, we’re enabling colleagues to share their professional knowledge, skills and expertise – to create even deeper impact as we give back to our communities.
