The Greatest Race on Earth: Race for a Living Planet enables us to share best practice on environment with our employees, customers and the public. To date we have generated over one million pledges worldwide.
This year, Standard Chartered signed the Corporate Leaders Group-led Bali Communiqué on Climate Change, calling for an international and legally binding United Nations agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which will provide businesses with the certainty needed to scale up global investment in low-carbon technologies. Our Chairman, Mervyn Davies, is a member of the Corporate Leaders Group.
We are members of the UNEP Finance Initiative (UNEPFI) working group on climate change. In 2007, we signed the UNEP FI Declaration on Climate Change ahead of the G8 summit and contributed to the executive briefing issued for the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Bali, Indonesia.
