Standard Chartered launches sustainable account to measure impact of green projects

Sustainable account allows corporates to measure the impact of the sustainable finance assets their deposits are referenced against.

In November, Standard Chartered launched an account designed to offer corporates access to cash for day-to-day liquidity requirements while using surplus funds to support the United Nations’ sustainable development goals.

Michael Spiegel, global head of transaction banking at Standard Chartered, tells Euromoney that the account was introduced in response to client demand for a product where specific end-of-day balances are referenced against green projects financed by the bank.

“We provide clients with visibility on the independently verified impact of the referenced projects through our sustainable finance impact report,” he explains.
