LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

AS PER WEBSITE

The Chartered Bank opened its first overseas branch in India, at Kolkata, on 12 April 1858.  Eight years later the Kolkata agent described the Bank's credit locally as splendid and its business as flourishing, particularly the substantial turnover in rice bills with the leading Arab firms.  When The Chartered Bank first established itself in India, Kolkata was the most important commercial city, and was the centre of the jute and indigo trades.  With the growth of the cotton trade and the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869, Bombay took over from Kolkata as India's main trade centre.  Today the Bank's branches and sub-branches in India are directed and administered from Mumbai (Bombay) with Kolkata remaining an important trading and banking centre.

History

 

The Standard Chartered Group was formed in 1969 through a merger of two banks: The Standard Bank of British South Africa founded in 1863, and the Chartered Bank of India, Australia and China, founded in 1853.

Both companies were keen to capitalise on the huge expansion of trade and to earn the handsome profits to be made from financing the movement of goods from Europe to the East and to Africa.

Launch the interactive timeline to learn about remarkable people, events and discoveries that have shaped the world They live in, through out the history of Standard Chartered.


Flash 5.0 player is required to see the interactive timeline.

The Chartered Bank

  • Funded by James Wilson following the grant of a Royal Charter by Queen Victoria in 1853
  • Chartered opened its first branches in Mumbai (Bombay), Calcutta and Shanghai in 1858, followed by Hong Kong and Singapore in 1859
  • Traditional business was in cotton from Mumbai (Bombay), indigo and tea from Calcutta, rice in Burma, sugar from Java, tobacco from Sumatra, hemp in Manila and silk from Yokohama
  • Played a major role in the development of trade with the East which followed the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869, and the extension of the telegraph to China in 1871
  • In 1957 Chartered Bank bought the Eastern Bank together with the Ionian Bank’s Cyprus Branches. This established a presence in the Gulf

The Standard Bank

  • Founded in the Cape Province of South Africa in 1862 by John Paterson. Commenced business in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, in January 1863
  • Was prominent in financing the development of the diamond fields of Kimberley from 1867 and later extended its network further north to the new town of Johannesburg when gold was discovered there in 1885
  • Expanded in Southern, Central and Eastern Africa and by 1953 had 600 offices
  • In 1965, it merged with the Bank of West Africa expanding its operations into Cameroon, Gambia, Ghana, Nigeria and Sierra Leone

In 1969, the decision was made by Chartered and by Standard to undergo a friendly merger. All was going well until 1986, when a hostile takeover bid was made for the Group by Lloyds Bank of the United Kingdom. When the bid was defeated, Standard Chartered entered a period of change. Provisions had to be made against third world debt exposure and loans to corporations and entrepreneurs who could not meet their commitments. Standard Chartered began a series of divestments notably in the United States and South Africa, and also entered into a number of asset sales.

From the early 90s, Standard Chartered has focused on developing its strong franchises in Asia, the Middle East and Africa using its operations in the United Kingdom and North America to provide customers with a bridge between these markets. Secondly, it would focus on consumer, corporate and institutional banking, and on the provision of treasury services – areas in which the Group had particular strength and expertise.

In the new millennium They acquired Grindlays Bank from the ANZ Group and the Chase Consumer Banking operations in Hong Kong in 2000.

Strategic alliances and acquisitions in 2005


2005 ushered in a historic year for us as They achieved several milestones with a number of strategic alliances and acquisitions that will extend Their customer or geographic reach and broaden Their product range.

  • They completed, rebranded and successfully integrated SC First Bank in Korea, which to date is the biggest acquisition in Their history.
  • They completed full integration between Standard Chartered Bank Thailand and Standard Chartered Nakornthon Bank in October.
  • They formed strategic alliances with Fleming Family & Partners to expand private wealth management in Asia and the Middle East
  • They acquired stakes in ACB Vietnam and Travelex
  • They acquired the business operations of American Express Bank in Bangladesh
  • They acquired a stake in Bohai Bank in Tianjin, China, making us the first foreign bank to be allowed a stake in a local bank in China.

People

They are committed to creating a healthy, safe and fulfilling work environment in which people can grow, individuals can make a difference and teams can win. They aim to attract, recruit and develop talented people, providing the skills and resources to succeed across Their markets. Their employees are rewarded with competitive incentives to encourage them to achieve their potential within the Bank.


Human Capital Roadmap


The Bank has developed a clear people agenda, reflected in Their Human Capital Roadmap. It has five areas of focus, each supported by key people processes and interventions. The Roadmap provides a common and consistent framework for people management policies and practices across the Bank.

 

 

Learning & Development

 

Ř       Their approach to developing people’s strengths is simple. They believe:

Ř       Everyone is uniquely talented.

Ř       People are most effective when they are able to identify and develop their individual strengths.

Ř       People thrive when they take ownership of their own development and are provided with the right support and encouragement to do so.


This strengths-based approach lies at the core of the Bank’s development philosophy. Managers are encouraged to help employees identify and develop individuals’ strengths to help themselves and their teams to deliver sustainable performance. A large percentage of employees have benefited from formally identifying their strengths using an on-line self-assessment system. This is supported by Their trained in-house experts, or Strengths Coaches, who facilitate the development of action plans to help individuals and teams improve their effectiveness.


Nurturing Their talent

 

Organisational Learning is Their fully-integrated global training function. It is a key contributor to performance success, allowing employees to take responsibility for their own learning and development and reflecting Their commitment to building a workplace culture where all employees have the opportunity to learn and grow. They have a ‘One Bank’ curriculum to ensure that all employees have access to consistent learning opportunities across Their markets supported by several Learning Resource Centres. Such Learning Resource Centres provide learning solutions for both personal and professional development through taught and on-line learning. This focus has allowed us to increase both the number of learners and learner days significantly in the past three years.


Leadership and executive development

 

Effective leadership is the key to both Their current and future success. They use a range of development and assessment programmes to develop leaders including the development of Individual Leadership Plans, developing strengths, identifying learning opportunities and mentoring. They also provide individual coaching to improve leaders performance and encourage their personal and professional development.


Standard Chartered also sponsor executive development programmes with leading academic institutions.


SC Learning

 

The internal success of Organisation Learning has inspired the creation of a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank, S C Learning Ltd (SCL). SCL combines the Bank's global resources and over 150 years of experience with local expertise to offer learning solutions to executives of the banking and finance industry as well as individuals aspiring to join the industry. SCL is represented in Hong Kong, China, Singapore, India, Indonesia, Dubai and the United Kingdom and since its establishment in 2003, over 3,000 executives or individuals have been trained.


SCL has developed further in Hong Kong with the establishment of The Financial Career Institute (please refer to http://www.tfci.com.hk). The Financial Career Institute is committed to raising industry standards and educating the next generation of financiers, bankers and business executives; providing individuals with an opportunity to either start or advance their careers in the industry. This is the first such school of this nature to be established in Hong Kong and hence provides us with a unique opportunity to lead the way in Their industry.

 

Performance Management


Building a high performing organization

Standard Chartered is committed to being a high performing organisation which delivers excellent results and standards of service to all Their stakeholders. Their approach aims to ensure that all employees are clear about what they are expected to achieve, their personal development goals and their contribution to business performance.


Raising the performance bar

Their performance management system aims to provide an objective view of employee performance. A standardised process and performance management tools are used to ensure objectivity across the Bank. The Bank’s core values, launched in 2002, form part of the annual objective setting and appraisal process. Half-yearly appraisals were introduced in 2002 to help maintain focus, direction, expectations and clarity throughout the year.

 

Reward & Recognition


Differentiating high performance

They are committed to providing compensation and benefits competitively positioned to attract, retain and motivate talented individuals. As a high performing organisation, They link rewards to individual performance and the extent to which the employee has demonstrated a commitment to Their values.


Consistent with their values, base salaries bonus and share awards are benchmarked against their key competitors, focusing on high performing employees.


Share ownership is encouraged across the Bank to engage individuals in the performance of the overall business. Over 40% of employees participate in their all-employee sharesave scheme.


Core benefits such as annual leave, retirement benefits, sickness and medical benefits are provided across their businesses and geographies in accordance with local custom and practice.

 

 

Effective service delivery

 

Effective service delivery is the priority of the human resource function to deliver an efficient, value-added service across the Bank.

The Human Resources Shared Service Centre (HR SCC), based in Chennai, India, became operational in 2002. It maintains a central employee database and administers a range of services including payroll, retirement benefits, Organisation Learning administration and share schemes across the Bank.

The HR SSC serves over 27,000 employees in 29 countries. Year-on-year, the HR SSC delivers higher value services, freeing local HR to provide greater strategic support to the business. The HR SSC is now considered an industry benchmark and is continually improving and growing.

Creating a healthy and safe place to work

 

They are determined to provide their employees with a healthy and safe place to work, wherever they are in the world. Although local legislation varies between countries, They are increasingly applying their efforts to ensuring consistently high principles of Health and Safety across their operations. Their aim is to provide the Bank’s community with the structures, systems and support to ensure the Health and Safety of all employees, customers, visitors and contractors. To achieve this, They aim to facilitate, guide and encourage management and employees to create a work environment where hazards are kept to a minimum and safety is seen as a core value. The different local Health and Safety legislation in the many countries make this a challenging task. Health and Safety for us is not just about legislative compliance, it is about creating the right culture.


They are therefore in the process of creating a Health and Safety Management System using the British Standard 8800 as the framework to improve their safety culture and performance. Health and Safety co-ordinators have been appointed and trained in each of the countries They operate in. In addition, their Health and Safety training will also be extended through all members of staff using an online training programme.

 

 

Human Rights

 

Standard Chartered supports the rights of the individual as expressed in the 1948 United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR).


The UDHR contains a number of fundamental rights, which They aim to uphold in all circumstances, including:

 

Ř       The right to life

 

Ř       The right to legal recognition as a person

 

Ř       Freedom of thought, conscience and religion

 

Ř       Freedom of opinion and expression

 

Ř       Freedom from torture

 

Ř       Freedom from cruel, inhumane or degrading treatment

 

Ř       Freedom from slavery and servitude

 

Ř       Freedom from retroactive penal legislation


Standard Chartered meets all relevant international legal obligations and all relevant local legal obligations in the countries in which They operate.


They are also committed to the principles of the Global Compact.


They are strictly apolitical and do not engage in political activity, support political parties or have any political affiliations worldwide. They recognise that They have direct responsibility for the impact of their activities on their employees, suppliers, customers and the communities in which They operate. They work to protect human rights in their own operations through their internal policies and procedures. Their policies also ensure that human rights are taken into account in procurement and lending decisions.

 

Labour Standards

The International Labour Organisation (ILO) is a United Nations agency which promotes human and labour rights. There are eight ILO Conventions that have been identified as fundamental to individuals at work, irrespective of levels of development of individual member states.


Standard Chartered fully supports the fundamental ILO conventions. However, they are mindful of labour laws within the countries in which They operate and of the fact that some countries have not ratified all of these conventions.


Their commitment to the Global Compact also means that They observe its principles on labour standards.

 

Environment

They understand that They have both direct and indirect impacts on the Environment. They are committed to understanding these impacts and addressing them.


In the developed world, They take things like recycling programmes and access to renewable resources somewhat for granted. But many of the countries They operate in simply don’t have access to such initiatives. They try, wherever possible, to adopt a consistent approach to environmental management across all of their businesses and branches.


Travel, waste production, procurement of goods and resource use are the main ways They have a direct impact on the environment. To address these effects, They have developed a set of environmental commitments, which are implemented through their Global Environmental Programme and monitored by their Global Environmental Management System. Their approach has been to introduce consistent global standards, while encouraging local solutions to local issues. The programme is co-ordinated and reported on through their Environmental Steering Group that in turn reports to the Corporate Responsibility Committee.

The participation of their staff is vital to achieving the aims of the Global Environmental Programme. To facilitate this They are developing staff awareness through training and internal communications.

This section sets out their Environmental Policy, describes their approach to environmental management and gives an overview of how They measuring their performance.

 

Their Approach

Ř       Three principles underpin Standard Chartered’s approach to the management of people:

 

Ř       A focus on managing talent to identify, reward and retain talented employees.

 

Ř       Building a strengths-based approach by providing the skills to develop individuals and teams by focusing on people’s personal strengths.

 

Ř       Driving employee engagement through the development of exceptional managers with the skills to identify and build talent.


Leveraging high performance


This approach focuses on helping employees to understand their individual talents and developing them to leverage productivity and performance.


Based on extensive research, benchmarking against best practice and proven good practice, They have developed and implemented a number of strategic people levers to achieve their business goals:

 

A strengths-based recruitment process, focusing on selecting people capable of exceptional performance, with increasing use of web-based technology to ensure global consistency and maximise efficiency.

 

An employee engagement measurement tool to encourage the application of their individual talents and discretionary effort.

 

A rigorous talent management process to ensure that high potential is recognised, developed and supported, and that under-performance is addressed.

 

A cutting edge, on-line learning system, accessible to all employees and providing high quality, consistent and cost effective learning programmes.

 

Development programmes targeted at managers and leaders to enable them to build their strengths to maximise their contribution to business performance.

 

A common set of organisational values to enable employees to consistently demonstrate the behaviours which underpin their brand.

 

A total reward model which recognises an individual's contribution to business performance.

 

Resourcing, Diversity & Inclusion



Ř       Working at Standard Chartered provides the opportunity to:

 

Ř       Work for an organisation operating across 56 countries.

 

Ř       Be part of an organisation with a 150-year history and a reputation for excellence across the Bank’s businesses and markets.

 

Ř       Benefit from their unique approach to people management which recognises, values and develops individual strengths and talents.


Harnessing diversity through inclusion

 

Standard Chartered employ over 33,000 people across 56 countries and territories. The workforce comprises over 80 nationalities (including 45 at senior management level) and close to half is female. They want to lead by example in building a multi-talented, diverse and representative workforce and leadership. The simple logic behind their commitment to diversity and inclusion is to attract and retain the best talent and harness the differences individuals bring, enabling them to realise their full potential. They see individual differences as strengths, allowing us to deliver higher performance and true competitive advantage. Their Diversity Council provides a strategic, global focus to diversity and inclusion in the Bank.


Attracting new talent

 

They work hard to attract and select employees with the talent and skills to achieve outstanding performance. Internal and external research clearly shows that the closer the fit between an employees strengths and those required for the job, the greater their success. Robust assessment tools and processes are used to benchmark candidates against the talents required for exceptional performance.


Identifying future leaders

 

The Bank's on-line global graduate recruitment site provides an effective method of attracting and recruiting talented graduates. Successful applicants join a two-year International Graduate Programme which stretches them through on-the-job learning and rotations, in-depth business training, performance coaching and three international, residential workshops.

Employee Engagement


Creating winning teams through engagement

 

They believe that providing employees with the right working environment encourages the application of their individual talents and discretionary effort. Investing in the measurement of employee engagement is a key element of building the high performance culture to drive their business forward.


In 2000, the Bank introduced Q12, an annual survey to measure employee engagement. It is not an employee satisfaction survey, instead it measures improvement in the engagement of teams. Teams use the results to discuss and develop action plans, whilst continually monitoring the follow-through. In 2004, the survey covered all 56 countries with 97% of employees participating voluntarily. They see this a significant achievement and a clear indication that employees are committed to improving individual and team performance.


This focus has seen a continuous rise in both the number of engaged teams and the extent to which their employees are engaged. Robust internal research has demonstrated the impact of employee engagement on business performance.

Standard Chartered joins coalition to combat Internet child pornography

 

Singapore, 16 March 2006 – Standard Chartered Bank is among 18 of the world’s prominent financial institutions and Internet industry leaders that have joined with the International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children (ICMEC), and its sister organisation, the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) in the fight against Internet child pornography. The goal is to eradicate commercial child pornography by 2008.

 

Child pornography has become a multi-billion dollar commercial enterprise and is among the fastest growing businesses on the Internet. The Internet has enabled instant access to child pornography by thousands and possibly millions of individuals around the world. And the ability to use credit cards and other payment methods has made purchasing child pornography easy.

 

Mike DeNoma, Group Executive Director responsible for Standard Chartered’s global Consumer Banking business and board member of the ICMEC, said: “They are committed to supporting this cause. It is important that the financial services industry plays its part in eliminating the commercial viability of child pornography by 2008.”  The exact number of child pornography websites is difficult to determine. In 2001, The CyberTipline operated by NCMEC had received more than 24,000 reports of child pornography. By the beginning of 2006, that number had climbed to more than 340,000.

 

“Not only have they seen an increase in reports of Internet child pornography, but the victims are becoming younger and the images are becoming more graphic and violent,” said Ernie Allen, President and CEO of ICMEC and NCMEC, and Chairman of the Coalition. “To eliminate the commercial viability of child pornography, they must stop the flow of money. To do that, they need the involvement of the world’s leaders in the payments industry and the Internet. The founding members of the Financial Coalition Against Child Pornography are to be commended for joining this critical fight.”

 

The new Financial Coalition Against Child Pornography includes leading banks, credit card companies, third party payment companies and Internet services companies. Founding members of the Coalition include America Online, American Express Company, Bank of America, Chase, Citigroup, Discover Financial Services LLC, e-gold, First Data Corporation, First National Bank of Omaha, MasterCard, Microsoft, North American Bancard, PayPal, First PREMIER Bank/PREMIER Bankcard, Standard Chartered Bank, Visa, Wells Fargo Bank and Yahoo! Inc.

 

The Coalition will work in collaboration with Child Focus of Belgium, the European Federation for Missing and Sexually Exploited Children, the International Association of Internet Hotlines (INHOPE), the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and law firm DLA Piper Rudnick Gray Cary.

Standard Chartered: First Corporation to receive UNICEF Malaysia Advance Humanity Corporate Award

 

Bank recognised for effective advocacy on HIV/AIDS

 

Kuala Lumpur, Wednesday, 23 November 2005 – Standard Chartered Bank Malaysia Berhad became the first corporation in Malaysia to receive the UNICEF Malaysia Advance Humanity Corporate Award for its Living With HIV/AIDS programme. Philip O’ Brien, Regional Director, UNICEF Geneva presented the award to Shayne Nelson, Chief Executive Officer of Standard Chartered Malaysia in Kuala Lumpur today.

 

At the ceremony Nelson said, “Standard Chartered first took up the cause of HIV/AIDS not because it was trendy or popular or that it will get us in the news.  “As an international business operating in 56 countries with over 30,000 employees of 80 nationalities - They saw, first hand, the devastating effect of HIV/AIDS on their staff, their customers and their families.

 

“In many of their markets, They live with the realities of HIV/AIDS. Africa, in which Standard Chartered has considerable presence, faces the most acute problems in dealing with the pandemic. The next fastest growth rates in infection are in India and China, two of their most important markets.

 

“Clearly, Standard Chartered has to be part of the solution - not apart from the HIV/AIDS problem,” he said.

 

Standard Chartered developed and rolled out its Living With HIV/AIDS programme in the year 2000. It is mostly a peer-to-peer education project but it has expanded to support in-country government initiatives, community engagement and fund raising.

 

The objective of Standard Chartered’s Living With HIV/AIDS programme was to enhance understanding of the HIV virus and the symptoms of AIDS and to reduce the stigma attached to HIV/AIDS to ensure more people can learn about prevention and benefit from testing and treatment.

 

Standard Chartered’s consistent involvement in the same cause through the years has enabled the bank to develop a wide range of innovative programmes for the workplace, the community and thought leadership.

 

In Malaysia, Standard Chartered has undertaken a comprehensive awareness and sponsorship Living With HIV/AIDS programme.

 

This includes working with international student body AIESEC on the Living With HIV/AIDS Learning Network. In 2004, Standard Chartered trained 3,000 Malaysian university students on HIV/AIDS. To date, the bank is on target to train 5,000 more students by end of the year. The objective is to ensure that prejudices and perceptions do not persist through generations – that youth take action to understand, help and lead the awareness effort for the future. “Standard Chartered also works with the Malaysian AIDS Foundation and the Malaysian AIDS Council on various efforts, chief of which is the Riding for Life – Bicycle Race which raised RM 200,000 in 2003 and RM 150,000 in 2005 whilst raising HIV/AIDS awareness in small towns and rural areas along the route of the race,” Nelson said.

 

In June this year, Standard Chartered also raised over RM115, 000.00 through the Standard Chartered BP Lions Rugby Dinner. Of that amount, BP contributed RM57,500.00 towards cancer whilst Standard Chartered contributed RM57,500.00 for Living With HIV/AIDS initiatives.

 

In September, Standard Chartered was the only private sector organization invited by the Department of Safety and Health Malaysia to present its programme at the - Prevention of HIV/AIDS At The Workplace: Experiences and Initiatives of ASEAN Countries Seminar - attended by 200 international delegates.  Nelson said Standard Chartered has also trained a team of 60 HIV Champions from amongst its staff.

 

“This is the core team that assist the bank in training its corporate clients, including the foreign embassies in Malaysia to start HIV/AIDS programme in their organizations.

 

“The HIV Champions also supports the bank’s work with AIESEC, Malaysian AIDS Council and Rumah Solehah and Rumah Wake – two homes that provide shelter and care for HIV/AIDS mothers and babies,” he said. Standard Chartered Bank’s engagement with Rumah Wake and Rumah Solehah not only involved annual sponsorship for rent and provisions. Weekly activities are organised between the bank’s staff and the children. These includes reading, Quran recital, tuition and picnics as well as home maintenance activities such as gardening, cleaning and painting.

 

The bank also celebrated Hari Raya at Rumah Solehah and contributed personal computers to Rumah Solehah and Rumah Wake. A team of volunteers from the bank will also train the residents and children of these homes on the use of these computers.

 

In recognition of effective advocacy for HIV/AIDS, Standard Chartered became the only corporation in Malaysia to win the prestigious Tun Dr. Siti Hasmah Award from the Malaysian AIDS Foundation and the Silver Quill Award for effective corporate social responsibility from the International Association of Business Communicators.

 

Nelson said, “The level of positive and creative energy They have built through the Standard Chartered Living With HIV/AIDS programme is nothing short of phenomenal.

 

“Their staff, their customers and their partners have become more alive, more passionate to the cause at each event that They organize. Thus, the path ahead is clear. On this wonderful journey, They need more friends and partners to join us – so that this effort, which may have started as a challenge, will instead turn to be become a powerful force of love and support to

be reckoned with,” he said.
