million by 2020 to build sustainable eye-care services across Asia,
Africa and the Middle East, almost trebling its fundraising for the
prevention of blindness from 2003 to date. With nearly 90% of avoidable
blindness occurring in the developing world , the issue affects economic
productivity in countries where Standard Chartered operates. Through
its latest commitment, the Bank aims to support further progress towards
eliminating avoidable blindness by 2020.
