Standard Chartered US Recognized as a 2024 Best Company for Multicultural Women by Seramount

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Standard Chartered US (the “Bank”) has been named one of the 2024 Best Companies for Multicultural Women by Seramount. This honor recognizes the top 80 companies that create and use best practices in hiring, retaining, and promoting multicultural women in the United States. The complete list can be found here.

For more than 20 years, Seramount’s Best Companies for Multicultural Women has tracked corporations’ progress in creating cultures that encourage multicultural women to join and rise through the ranks. This year’s survey continued to assess progress for women by specific racial/ethnic groups as well as factors influencing that progress, including mental health, anti-racism progress, and participation in mentoring and sponsorship programs.

“We are honored to receive this recognition for the third consecutive year,” said Patricia Fuster, Standard Chartered Chief Information Officer for Europe and Americas and Chair of Americas’ Diversity and Inclusion Council. “Our company thrives because of the unique perspectives, experiences, and talents that women from all backgrounds bring to our team. We believe that fostering an inclusive environment where every woman has the opportunity to realize her full potential is essential for our growth and impact.”

“Companies continue to recognize the importance of recruiting and retaining multicultural women,” said Subha V. Barry, President of Seramount. “While there is still work to be done to increase representation, we celebrate the efforts of these 80 companies in fostering inclusive workplace environments with strong career development strategies and comprehensive DEI programs to support this critical talent pool.”

In addition to being named one of the Best Companies for Multicultural Women, Standard Chartered United States is also a Great Place to Work-Certified™ and Newsweek Most Loved Workplace-Certified organization.
