Celebrating 20 years running together through the historic streets of the City of London. Yesterday more than 750 of our colleagues and clients joined over 5,000 runners in our annual Standard Chartered Great City Race. The 5km run weaves around iconic London landmarks, including St Paul’s Cathedral and the Bank of England. This year, Maria Ramos, our Group Chair, and Saif Malik, our CEO UK and Head, Client Coverage, UK, joined at the start line to cheer everyone on. Funds raised support Futuremakers by Standard Chartered, our global initiative to tackle inequality and promote greater economic inclusion. Our global marathons and races connect runners across boundaries, borders, and markets.

"It's hard for me to want anything for myself because my parents can only afford to provide for our basic needs." In partnership with Standard Chartered Foundation and Plan International, we've helped Anna, a 22-year-old Futuremakers by Standard Chartered participant from Indonesia, find a way to support herself by selling handmade bracelets while still in school. With her family struggling financially, this was her way of easing the burden. Futuremakers is our global initiative to tackle inequality and promote economic inclusion. Since its launch in 2019, and in partnership with NGOs, Futuremakers has helped young people like Anna develop the skills to access employment and build thriving businesses. Through the project, that was delivered in partnership with @PlanUK, Anna discovered a passion for financial record-keeping, helping her track and grow her small business.
