Stanbic IBTC Sponsorships
Sponsorships are a valuable part of Stanbic IBTC Group's social responsibility and marketing communication strategies.
Sponsorships are essential in building the brand and creating relevance in markets where Standard Bank Group operates, and they provide a platform for us to engage with our customers. Development is key to our deciding on what sponsorships we undertake. Currently, we look at initiatives that support community upliftment, the arts and sport.
Our Sponsorship Pillars
Arts and Culture
Stanbic IBTC’s commitment to investing across the arts spectrum on the continent represents a 30-year legacy and we are proud to provide ongoing support for a variety of key projects, which have evolved into highlights on the Nigerian and African cultural calendar. The arts in Africa are a powerful expression of our creativity and play an integral part in generating a positive narrative with a global impact. Our mandate at Stanbic IBTC is to support a wide range of initiatives that nurture young talent and showcase the rich diversity of our creative arts. Our approach to selecting projects in the arts and music space is indicative of this.
