For more than a decade, The Civic 50 has served as the national standard for corporate citizenship and showcases how leading companies are moving social impact and community to the core of their business. This comprehensive survey for companies with annual revenues of at least $1 billion evaluates the scale, sophistication and impact of their employee volunteering, community engagement and corporate philanthropy work.

“As an executive sponsor of the Bank’s community impact efforts, I’m incredibly proud of our team for achieving this recognition three years in a row,” said Thomas Kikis, Head of Markets for the Americas at Standard Chartered. “Our commitment to the community goes hand in hand with our business strategy – we know that inclusive economic growth creates more resilient markets and stronger relationships with our clients and partners. The recognition reflects the dedication of our colleagues, who continue to invest their time and skills to drive meaningful change in the places where we live and work.”

At the heart of the Bank’s community engagement is Futuremakers, Standard Chartered’s global initiative to empower young people to navigate the increasingly complex and competitive world. In the Americas, the Bank collaborates with organizations such as the Zahn Center at the City College of New York, Village Capital, Upwardly Global, Leadership Enterprise for a Diverse America, and Youth Business International to support education, employability, and entrepreneurship. These efforts have also earned the Bank the Mayoral Service Recognition Certificate from the New York City Mayor’s office, highlighting the tangible local impact of its programs.
