(20 February 2026 – Singapore) Standard Chartered has arranged its inaugural ESG-linked cash management account in the region for a locally incorporated company, partnering with ST Telemedia Global Data Centres (STT GDC).
STT GDC manages approximately 2.3GW of IT load across a network of more than 100 data centres spanning 12 key markets worldwide.
The structure ties the return on surplus cash balances to the achievement of agreed sustainability objectives. Where pre-defined Sustainability Performance Targets are met, the client benefits from enhanced interest rates.
According to the bank, the selected key performance indicators are closely aligned to the client’s operational footprint, benchmarked against both industry peers and the company’s own sustainability performance history.
