Narrative:
On climb out from ZZZ we had a caution light advising loss of #1 hydraulic engine pump and associated services. Emergency declared; QRH complied with and standby pump activated which returned all lost services. Quantity was slowly dropping; but pressure was normal. We returned to the ZZZ airport with an uneventful landing.
