Pillar 7: Corporate Social Investment (CSI)

Recognising that transformation cannot occur solely on commercial terms, CSI spending is mandated within the charter to reinforce its overall values and objectives. There are five broad categories of CSI spending defined in the charter and it is left to the discretion of the financial institution to determine which category(ies) to focus on.

The Community section provides a detailed explanation of how Standard Bank’s CSI spend is allocated and where the bank is making a difference through its CSI strategy.
