Standard Chartered US (the “Bank”) is proud to announce that it has been named a 2026 honoree of The Civic 50® by Points of Light for the fourth consecutive year. Points of Light is the world’s leading organization dedicated to increasing volunteer service.
Now in its 14th year, The Civic 50® is the nation’s leading corporate social impact recognition program, celebrating excellence in employee volunteering, community investment and social impact strategy. The Civic 50® survey recognizes public and private companies with annual revenues of at least $1 billion and provides organizations with insights into volunteering, charitable giving and community engagement insights.
“Giving back to our community is at the core of our culture at Standard Chartered in the Americas and around the world. We are delighted to receive this incredible honor that recognizes, for the fourth year running, the spirit, energy, and commitment that our colleagues bring to our community engagement initiatives across the US,” said Mandy DeFilippo, CEO, US & Americas and EMEA at Standard Chartered. “We are proud to support organizations that create opportunity for so many in the communities where we live and work.”
At the heart of the Bank’s community engagement effort is the Standard Chartered Foundation, which supports initiatives that help individuals and communities thrive. In the Americas, the Bank collaborates with organizations such as the Zahn Center at the City College of New York, Village Capital, Leadership Enterprise for a Diverse America, and Youth Business International to support education, employability, and entrepreneurship. These efforts have also earned the Bank the Mayoral Service Recognition Certificate from the New York City Mayor’s office, highlighting the tangible local impact of its community programs.
“Today’s leading companies understand that community engagement is more than a program, it’s a reflection of their commitment to advancing social impact in ways that strengthen both their company and the communities they serve,” said Jennifer Sirangelo, president and CEO of Points of Light. “Standard Chartered demonstrates how to embed purpose into the employee experience, build authentic relationships with communities and use business as a force for good. We’re proud to honor them with the 2026 Civic 50 award.”
