A new (green) economy

[Standard Bank Team]

COP17 ended this weekend after an additional 36 hours of negotiations. The outcome: an agreement by all countries that they will put in place measures to cut carbon emissions.

Standard Bank Group remains committed to environmental issues and will continue to assist in reducing the man-made risks related to climate change.

We will, wherever possible, use new technologies in doing our business … and also encourage those with which we do business to do the same.

Looking to new ‘green’ technologies, we’d like to fund development and create awareness of possibilities so that enough people want and benefit from them.

It is early days of a new economy and we’re happy to already be part of it.
