Standard Chartered originates as a merger of two banks in 1969: The Chartered Bank of India, Australia and China, and Standard Bank of British South Africa. Despite its British base, Standard Chartered has few customers in the United Kingdom. Ninety percent of its profits come from Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Its operations lie predominantly in former British colonies, though over the past two decades it has now expanded operations into 70 countries. Standard Chartered offers banking products to consumers, private clients and business, including an extensive Islamic banking operation.

Banks and Climate
Bank net zero commitments
This table tracks the net zero pledges and commitments of banks. It shows whether banks have committed to net zero by 2050 and have set an interim emissions reduction goal for 2025 and/or 2030. It also notes banks that have not yet set targets but have pledged to do so in the future, including by joining the Collective Commitment to Climate Action or Net Zero Banking Alliance. Finally, it notes whether banks have (pledged to) set Science-Based Targets. More information and references can be found by expanding the 'details' section of each bank.
- A blue check mark means the bank has set a target or joined the alliance. A check mark does not mean that the target set by the bank meets any particular standard, just that is has set a target. In case we have identified short comings in the target, for example when it only applies to lending and not underwriting), this is noted in the 'details' section.
- An orange dash means a bank has pledged to set a target (for example, banks commit to set 2030 and 2050 targets when they join the NZBA), but have not yet actually done so.
Abbreviations:
CCCA = Collective Commitment to Climate Action
NZBA = Net Zero Banking Alliance
SBT = Science-Based Targets
