Standard Bank and HIV/AIDS

The health of our staff and customers across the continent is of critical importance to us and without a committed intervention our employees and customers could be severely affected by this largely misunderstood virus.

Standard Bank Group has an extensive workplace programme that started in South Africa and expanded to the rest of our network on the African continent. We’re aware of the implications HIV/ AIDS has on the sustainable growth of the African continent and we want to assist where we can.

Our internal health and wellness programme focuses on employees and their families. This is done through the work we do with aid and donor agencies and governments, and our involvement in various private sector initiatives and public-private partnerships.

We’re proud to partner with The Global Fund to combat AIDS, TB and Malaria. By providing pro-bono management training and practical support to recipients of grant receiving projects in six countries, we hope to make a meaningful difference to the sustainability of the continent.
