Stanbic Bank Champions Fostering Inclusion In Entrepreneurship

As part of this year's International Women’s Day celebrations, Stanbic Bank Ghana hosted a webinar focused on fostering a culture of inclusion in business operations.

This initiative underscores the bank's ongoing commitment to empowering women across the country.Leading the discussion, The Head of Client Coverage at Stanbic Investment Management Services (SIMS), Desmond Bredu, highlighted the importance of this conversation, noting how women form the majority of SME owners in the country.

He said, “Although IWD is a one-day celebration, we believe that the conversation of inclusion should not be a one-time thing.

In Africa a large portion of entrepreneurs are women and this is the same for Ghana as well.

Women face more challenges as entrepreneurs than men.

At Stanbic Bank, we believe in creating a culture of inclusion and we encourage all our stakeholders to do the same as well.

When there is inclusion, you allow both men and women to release their creative juices and encourage innovative results.” Over the years, Stanbic Bank Ghana has supported female entrepreneurs across the country.
