SC partner with Imperial on climate change

Standard Chartered has announced a partnership with Imperial College on climate change risk management.

The partnership aims to uncover solutions that will help embed climate risk identification and management into financial decisions, and to unlock solutions to practical questions such as how local policy actions will affect business models, and how clients build resilience to increasing physical risks, such as flooding and sea level rise.
