Podcasts about standard chartered bank

In this episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast, we take the show on the road to Singapore, where S&P Global Sustainable1 hosted its annual summit June 26. We sit down with leaders from the sustainable agriculture, banking and technology sectors to unpack key sustainability challenges and opportunities facing diverse Asia-Pacific markets. We discuss decarbonization technologies with Manish Pant, Executive Vice President of International Operations at Schneider Electric. Schneider Electric is a French multinational focused on electrification, automation and digitization that was just named the world's most sustainable company by TIME and data firm Statista.     Manish explains how the company is working with clients to decarbonize and electrify at scale in a way that also prioritizes energy access, security and affordability. He characterizes the current moment as "the golden period for the Global South.”    “The demographic momentum, the focus on renewables as well as a lot of infrastructure development is what characterizes this part of the world,” he says. “The challenge and the opportunity that we have is we are going to be building a lot.”    We also speak with Kavickumar Muruganathan, Microsoft's ESG Planning Director for Asia Pacific, Cloud Operations and Innovation, to understand how one of the world's largest technology companies is thinking about developing AI; its use cases for sustainability; and how the company is developing data centers in the region.     We sit down with Justin Ma, Executive Director of Sustainable Finance at Standard Chartered Bank, to talk about trends in sustainable finance and the continued momentum he sees in Asia-Pacific markets.     And we explore how the agriculture sector is balancing food security, access and affordability while also improving the sustainability of agricultural practices in an interview with Nikita Asthana. Nikita is Head of Sustainability Finance at global agriculture services firm Olam Agri, and she explains how agricultural practices can impact climate change and nature loss and the role smallholder farmers play in sustainable agriculture.     “Climate change is the biggest threat to food security,” Nikita says. “The realization has to happen at scale and not just by a few companies that are more directly impacted. It has to happen at the scale of governments and policymakers. It has to happen at the scale of financial institutions.”   Listen to our podcast episodes from the S&P Global Sustainable1 Summit in London earlier this year:   Why businesses are going ‘back to basics' in sustainability strategies  Why insurance is becoming central to climate risk conversations  How HSBC is financing infrastructure for a low-carbon economy  Learn about energy transition data and services from S&P Global Commodity Insights here.  This piece was published by S&P Global Sustainable1, a part of S&P Global.       Copyright ©2025 by S&P Global   DISCLAIMER   By accessing this Podcast, I acknowledge that S&P GLOBAL makes no warranty, guarantee, or representation as to the accuracy or sufficiency of the information featured in this Podcast.

In this second of a two-part series, Nick Lewis, Managing Director for the High Risk Client Unit at Standard Chartered Bank, returns to the AI in Business podcast to unpack the ongoing transformation of anti-financial crime efforts in an increasingly digitized world. In this episode, Nick and Emerj Editorial Director Matthew DeMello examine the persistent tension between rule-based alert systems and the nuanced, judgment-driven work of human investigators in financial crime prevention. Nick highlights how current AML workflows still rely heavily on deterministic systems that struggle to distinguish legitimate anomalies from criminal behavior—and why AI solutions must be deployed carefully to avoid removing critical human oversight.

Kevin Werbach interviews Shameek Kundu, Executive Director of AI Verify Foundation, to explore how organizations can ensure AI systems work reliably in real-world contexts. AI Verify, a government-backed nonprofit in Singapore, aims to build scalable, practical testing frameworks to support trustworthy AI adoption. Kundu emphasizes that testing should go beyond models to include entire applications, accounting for their specific environments, risks, and data quality. He draws on lessons from AI Verify's Global AI Assurance pilot, which matched real-world AI deployers—such as hospitals and banks—with specialized testing firms to develop context-aware testing practices. Kundu explains that the rise of generative AI and widespread model use has expanded risk and complexity, making traditional testing insufficient. Instead, companies must assess whether an AI system performs well in context, using tools like simulation, red teaming, and synthetic data generation, while still relying heavily on human oversight. As AI governance evolves from principles to implementation, Kundu makes a compelling case for technical testing as a backbone of trustworthy AI. Shameek Kundu is Executive Director of the AI Verify Foundation. He previously held senior roles at Standard Chartered Bank, including Group Chief Data Officer and Chief Innovation Officer, and co-founded a startup focused on testing AI systems. Kundu has served on the Bank of England's AI Forum, Singapore's FEAT Committee, the Advisory Council on Data and AI Ethics, and the Global Partnership on AI.   Transcript AI Verify Foundation Findings from the Global AI Assurance Pilot Starter Kit for Safety Testing of LLM-Based Applications

Financial Forecast S06E10 - Principles of Wealth Management with Paul Njoki, Head of Affluent Banking & Wealth Management, Standard Chartered Bank.

Today's guest is Nick Lewis, Managing Director for the High Risk Client Unit at Standard Chartered Bank. Nick joins today's show to discuss the shifting landscape of fraud prevention and AML compliance in financial services. As governments increasingly shift regulatory responsibilities onto the private sector, banks find themselves at the forefront of both enforcement and risk management. Lewis highlights how sanctions regimes have evolved, pushing financial institutions to shoulder greater due diligence responsibilities with fewer resources. His conversation with Emerj Editorial Director Matthew DeMello also explores the broader implications of this public-private realignment, including the increasing reliance on AI-driven detection methods and the complexities of prioritizing financial crime risks. Lewis underscores the growing role of banks in addressing crimes such as human trafficking, despite the lack of formal mandates, and how AI could enhance collaboration with law enforcement to identify and mitigate emerging threats.

It's Tuesday, March 11th, 2025. This is Nelson John, let's get started. 

The US economy appears indestructible. Since the Great Financial Crisis in 2008-09 and throughout the following downturns including the pandemic, consumption quickly bounced back, the labor market tightened and equity markets outperformed peers. This strength had investors coining the term “US exceptionalism” as it increasingly seemed that the greenback and other assets were the best game in town. But risks are building, from China’s DeepSeek cooling demand for AI stocks in the US to President Donald Trump’s tariffs that threaten inflation, spending and growth. Could these risks unseat the US exceptionalism trade? Is that era potentially behind us? Steve Brice, Global Chief Investment Officer of Standard Chartered Bank, doesn’t think so, and explains why he believes the trade is here to stay – at least for now. He joins John Lee and Katia Dmitrieva on the Asia Centric podcast. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In a world where skills gaps are widening and job demands are evolving at unprecedented rates, understanding how to gain a "skills advantage" is critical for organizations to stay competitive. In this episode, Anish Lalchandani, author of The Skills Advantage, delves into his insights on bridging skills gaps, building resilient teams, and preparing organizations for the future. Anish walks us through his approach, discussing how the right skills strategy can shift a team from good to exceptional and position L&D as a driver of business transformation. Whether you're a leader looking to upskill your team or an L&D professional aiming to create a sustainable skills strategy, this conversation is packed with actionable insights. KEY TAKEAWAYS The established approach to L&D is no longer enough. L&D needs to go beyond business alignment and take the lead in equipping our businesses to thrive in the future. You don´t have the wrong people, they have the wrong skills. Employees need to be convinced that upskilling benefits them and the business. A huge proportion of executive transitions fail, and we need to address this. What is going on in the market and industry helps you identify future skill needs. Use technology to help with your data analysis and become more agile. When you demonstrate impact, you get permission to do more. BEST MOMENTS “The established approach to L&D is no longer enough.” “Reskilling is a long-term game, start now.” “We need to hold ourselves accountable to actual upskilling and not just providing learning.” “You don´t have the wrong people, they have the wrong skills.” “The risk of relying on firing and hiring is extraordinary.” Anish Lalchandani Bio Anish Lalchandani is the author of the book ‘The Skills Advantage: A Human-Centered, Sustainable and Scalable Approach to Reskilling’. Having held leadership roles at leading firms like A.P. Moller Maersk (current), General Electric, Standard Chartered Bank and other organizations, he has developed extensive expertise in Talent, OD, Leadership and HR Strategy. In addition to being a Chartered Fellow of the CIPD, he is also a certified professional coach and mentor to start-up founders.

In an age where the modern workplace is rapidly evolving, a growing chorus of designers and workplace strategists are championing a radical new approach - one that reconnects us with the natural world. At the heart of this movement is the principle of biophilic design, which seeks to infuse our built environments with the rejuvenating power of nature.We speak with Collin Burry, design director at global architecture firm Gensler and Allison English, co-founder of workplace experience consultancy Aéto Strategy, who are both speaking at the Workspace Design Show in London on 26-27th February 2024. https://workspaceshow.co.uk"We are sensory beings," explains Collin Burry, design director at global architecture firm Gensler. "Designing for the full range of human senses - sight, sound, touch - is crucial if we want to create spaces that truly nourish and inspire people." Collin, who has transformed the interiors of iconic brands like Apple and Dolby, believes the workplace of the future must move beyond bare functionality to address our deep-seated need for connection with the natural world.Allison English, co-founder of workplace experience consultancy Atos Strategy, agrees. "Sometimes we forget that we, as humans, are not designed to be sitting at desks staring at screens all day," she reflects. "We evolved to be in nature, to thrive in environments that stimulate all our senses." Allison's work has shown how biophilic design - from verdant living walls to soothing natural soundscapes - can have a profound impact on employee wellbeing and productivity. The benefits are backed by a growing body of research. Studies have found that exposure to natural elements can lower stress levels, boost cognitive function and even reduce absenteeism.To find out more about both Collin and Allison's practices, visithttps://www.gensler.com/people/collin-burryhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/aéto-strategy/To meet them in person register and come to the Workspace Design Show in London on 26-27th February 2024. https://workspaceshow.co.uk.

"It's about creating spaces that make people feel cared for," says Collin. "When you walk into a workplace that's infused with natural materials, textures and greenery, it communicates the organisation's values in a powerful way." Yet, as both Collin and Allison acknowledge, driving this shift requires overcoming entrenched mindsets. "For too long, workplace design has been driven by the bottom line, not the human experience," laments Bury. "We need to get past this idea that sustainability and wellbeing are at odds with good design." Encouragingly, pioneering companies are leading the way. Allison cites the example of Standard Chartered Bank, which has used data-driven insights to create "the world's healthiest building" - complete with vertical farms, outdoor terraces and carefully curated natural elements. As we emerge from the upheaval of the pandemic, the designers believe this biophilic revolution is just getting started. "This is about reconnecting with our roots, with what it means to be human," says Collin. "The workplaces of the future won't just be efficient - they'll be truly life-enhancing."To find out more about both Collin and Allison's practices, visithttps://www.gensler.com/people/collin-burry https://www.linkedin.com/company/aéto-strategy/ To meet them in person register and come to the Workspace Design Show in London on 26-27th February 2024. https://workspaceshow.co.uk.

Cloud Tech in BankingThe Big Themes:Principles and people-centered transformation: Core principles such as standardizing processes and ensuring data integrity drove Standard Chartered's transformation. The transformation was not merely about technology but about enabling its people to perform their jobs more effectively. This people-centered approach ensured that technological changes translated into real, practical improvements in daily operations.Strategic partnership: SAP provided a robust platform that supported Standard Chartered's data strategy and operational needs across diverse markets. Falk Rieker noted the significance of programs like RISE with SAP and GROW with SAP in facilitating the bank's transition to the cloud, addressing regulatory requirements, and enhancing process efficiencies.Leveraging data and AI for future innovations: With a unified data environment, Standard Chartered can leverage advanced technologies like artificial intelligence to drive better business insights, efficiency, and sustainability efforts. This strategic approach positions the bank to quickly implement new tools and capabilities.The Big Quote: "When we embarked on our transformation, it was not to transform the technology, it was to transform our finance and treasury functions that supported the bank . . . we picked the best platform that would support that target operating model and support that transformation . . . So, we went into this with SAP."

Tim Oldman is the CEO of Leesman and Founder of the Leesman Index - the world leader in measuring and analyzing the experiences of employees in their places of work. Tim is an expert in user experience of the built environment. He explains why we need to be considering whether work environments are supporting employees' activities, needs, and satisfaction. Tim brings his wealth of knowledge to explore and reveal how workplaces—wherever people work—are tools for organizational performance and how we can measure that.      TAKEAWAYS   [02:25] Having always enjoyed building things, Tim studies interior design at college.   [02:51 Tim opts for a shorter course in interior design admitting he is impatient!   [03:22] Tim would love to study at university now with rapid prototyping and other advances.   [04:00] Encouraged by his uncle and tutor, Tim secures his first design job at 16.   [05:36] Tim first works in transport design, realizing the impact of design on bus stations and airports.   [07:06] The attention and detailed science in every aspect of airport design, including signage legibility.   [08:08] Tim wants to apply more and more rigor and science as his career develops.   [09:33] Tim discovers retail design is more numerically driven that he had understood earlier.   [11:27] The shift in retail emphasizing the shopper's brand experience.   [13:26] Tim's time at Vitra exposes him to extraordinary design history and expertise.   [14:20] It was a mind-boggling experience to work on the campus every day for five years!   [15:10] The user-centric design of a new distribution center makes Tim energized and very curious.   [17:22] Using transport examples to illustrate the importance of employee-centric office design.   [18:48] Developing the Leesman Index, Tim encounters naysayers to begin with.   [19:46] Initially provocative, “space is a tool in organizational performance” sticks.   [20:59] How space is a tool in organizational performance.   [21:48] Contrary to expectations, the design community initially resists the Leesman Index.   [23:07] A friend's referral leads to the first successful deployment of the Index.   [23:36] The index reveals engineers' preference for compressed, energetic workspaces.   [24:41] The facilities management industry becomes a key user.   [25:02] Executive leadership teams appreciate data-driven insights.   [26:43] Tim describes the Index's methodology and its impact on workplace design.   [27:50] The Leesman index measures employee activities and their satisfaction with workplace features.   [29:41] ‘Sentiment Superdrivers' are crucial to accommodate to achieve workplace satisfaction.   [32:54] The importance of supporting individual focused work.   [33:29] The pandemic highlights the inadequacies of traditional office designs.   [35:52] Many organizations are now seeking to improve their offices to better support employee needs.   [36:44] The rise of video conferencing underscores the need for better acoustic and visual privacy.   [38:12] Organizations increasingly seek to create offices that employees genuinely want to visit.   [39:45] Tim's new venture aims to help clients improve both remote and office-based work environments.   [42:31] Commute satisfaction correlates with the quality of the office environment.   [45:28] The shift towards higher-quality, more amenity-rich office spaces.   [47:40] Standard Chartered Bank exemplifies successful office space reduction while enhancing quality.   [49:24] Tim advocates for clearly articulating the purpose of office spaces.   [52:15] How Facilities Management can create more technologically advanced, smarter buildings.   [54:09] IMMEDIATE ACTION TIP: Use evidence and be real, conversational, human. Find out what impacts the human experience as the human dynamic is motivational guidance. Live a day in the life of a frontline employee, experience it yourself.     RESOURCES   Tim Oldman on LinkedIn Leesman's website     QUOTES   "Whether it's an exhibition stand that you're building that's only up for five days, or it's a retail environment, or it's a bus station, or as we now are looking at the impact of office design on the organizational performance of the companies that we're working with.”   "I would leave work in a day feeling more energized than I arrived there in the morning. And I wanted to know why, fundamentally, I couldn't work it out. And that was really where the ideas behind Leesman and the idea of a measurement protocol started to seep through."   “It's all economics driven. Whether it's an exhibition stand that you're building that's only up for five days, or it's a retail environment, or it's a bus station, or as we now are looking at the impact of office design on the organizational performance.”   "Having thought about your day at work in the way that you have, can you tell us what you think about the following things in relation to your workplace? So, does it enable you to work productively? Are you proud of it? Do you enjoy it? Do you think it supports your organization's environmental sustainability standpoint?”    I think the bigger a workplace gets, the harder it is to satisfy everybody, because the more people are in it, the more variability there is in the work that they do and their personalities and their size and their demeanor and all the other things that make us different than individual human beings."
