The Standard Bank Group drives social, economic and environmental impact through structured, longstanding corporate social investment (CSI). Its CSI strategy focuses on creating scalable pathways to economic upliftment, with a strong emphasis on education and skills development as enablers of inclusive growth. Much of this work is channelled through the Tutuwa Community Foundation, which serves as the group’s primary vehicle for education‑focused social investment.
Beyond its direct social investment activities, Standard Bank is a significant stakeholder in Africa’s impact investing landscape. Through its sustainable and impact finance activities, the group mobilises capital towards green and social solutions that support climate action, infrastructure development, financial inclusion and inclusive economic growth across the continent.
