This page is part of our public exclusion list — a transparency tool that shows which companies we screen out and why. It is not investment advice, and it is not an accusation. But it is subject to change as our understanding of the facts evolves.

Financial Misconduct
Since Oct 21, 2021

Standard Chartered is a major international banking group. The company is excluded under financial misconduct for predatory financial practices that harm consumers, investors, or beneficiaries, though specific evidence linking Standard Chartered to such practices has not yet been gathered for this review.

Standard Chartered is a major international bank that provides financial services to fossil fuel operators. The bank’s specific financing activities and transaction volumes for fossil fuel projects are not documented in the current evidence file. Further research is required to detail the scale, recency, and materiality of its support for oil, gas, and coal infrastructure.

Companies appear on our exclusion list based on our investment judgment — not because they've done anything illegal. This is a difference of values and opinion, not an accusation of wrongdoing. Exclusion does not constitute a recommendation against investing in any company, and absence from the list does not constitute a recommendation to invest.

This information is provided for educational and transparency purposes only and should not be relied upon as investment advice. Data is drawn from independent watchdogs, NGOs, government registries, and Ethical Capital's ongoing research — see Research Sources for the full list.
