Standard Chartered BankESG & Sustainability Jobs

International banking group with focus on sustainable finance and community development in emerging markets

Standard Chartered is an international banking group with operations concentrated in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. It provides retail, corporate, and institutional banking services - including lending, trade finance, and capital markets - to individuals, businesses, and governments across these regions.

Why it matters

The bank has built dedicated sustainability functions covering climate risk, ESG strategy, and sustainability partnerships. These teams work on integrating climate risk into credit and portfolio decisions, structuring sustainable finance products, and managing the bank's own operational footprint - including the environmental performance of its corporate real estate. The roles on this board reflect genuine embedded functions rather than peripheral reporting work.

Given its footprint in emerging and frontier markets, Standard Chartered sits at a meaningful intersection: financing infrastructure, trade, and development in regions that are both highly exposed to climate impacts and central to the global energy transition.
