Standard Chartered's 2007 eco claims

Greenbang has found this wicked little site called ReportAlert.

Today it published details of Standard Chartered’s 2007 sustainability report.

The company claims to have:

Empowering 1.2 million people in Asia and Africa, by disbursing microfinance loans worth US$170m through 41 partners in 13 countries,

Committing $8-10bn to finance renewable energy and clean technology projects in Asia, Africa and the Middle East by 2012,

Generating over 1 million pledges for the Greatest Race on Earth: Race for a Living Planet that have the potential to save 3 billion litres of water,

Reducing paper use by 20% per full time employee (2006–7).

Again though, you’ve got to ask – in two years’ time will anyone be publishing this stuff? Or will it be the norm to do it?
