Behind every run lies a story worth telling. Last month, the Standard Chartered Nairobi Marathon brought together 30,729 runners for Kenya’s largest single-day participation event. Just over half of these runners were women, and a record 1,129 runners overall were international, representing 102 countries. Almost 300 people with disabilities participated. The race also brought together more than 1,000 volunteers, alongside 56 sponsors and partners who contributed USD1.1 million. A total of USD 594,000 was raised for the Standard Chartered Foundation to support young people around the world. Thank you to everyone who played a part in making our 24th marathon in Nairobi a success. Together, we run further. #SCMarathon #HereForGood #TogetherWeRunFurther

How do we know when corporate philanthropy is genuinely making a difference? Creating lasting social change means looking beyond immediate results to consider whether an intervention will continue to have a positive impact long into the future. In our latest Studio Sessions episode, Clare Woodcraft, Fellow at Cambridge Judge Business School, joins Tanuj Kapilashrami, our Group Chief Operating Officer, to discuss why organisations need to take the time to understand what works - and what doesn't - to create meaningful impact at scale. The conversation also explores why scale is not simply about reaching more people, but about creating change that becomes embedded in a community.

In a more fragmented and multi-aligned world, how do businesses and policymakers build resilience without losing the connections that enable trade, investment and growth? That question framed our Breakfast Conversation during the International Monetary Fund (@IMFNews) and World Bank (@WorldBankGroup) Annual Meetings in Bangkok last week. Following opening remarks from Maria Ramos, our Group Chair, the discussion featured Ben Hung, our President, International, and Jan Metzger, our Global Head, Coverage Banking, exploring shifts in global power and what they mean for cross-border trade. Three themes stood out from the conversation: the vulnerabilities created by debt, leverage and concentration; the importance of building greater optionality across markets, supply chains and currencies; and the enduring value of dialogue, human judgement and trusted relationships in navigating complexity. The panel also explored how resilience increasingly goes beyond preparing for the next shock. It means creating the flexibility to respond to change, capture new opportunities and maintain the connections that underpin global commerce. At Standard Chartered, our international network and local market knowledge give us a distinctive perspective on these shifts in global trade, helping us connect clients to growth opportunities across the world’s most dynamic markets.
