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 2024, 53 per cent of colleagues volunteered to support various philanthropic causes and 114,276 hours were contributed to skills-based volunteering which ranged from provision of financial education to local schools to coaching and mentoring Futuremakers participants.
What’s next?
From 2025, we will further embed skills-based volunteering opportunities into Futuremakers, leveraging our colleagues’ unique skill sets to create even deeper impact as we give back to our communities.
