Company to focus on 'five Es'

Standard Bank has pledged to protect natural resources in a new partnership with UNESCO Biosphere Isle of Man.

With a focus on the 'five Es' - economy, environment, enjoyment, engagement, and education - the company is also vowing to help develop economy sustainability, support the Island's cultural heritage, and make an environmental impact wherever possible.

Jo Overty - UNESCO Biosphere IOM Project Officer - says large organisations such as Standard Bank have great power to positively influence sustainability.
