Green Financing Framework
The HSBC Green Financing Framework forms a part of our sustainability strategy and helps further our aim of supporting our clients in transitioning to a net zero future.
HSBC is a member of the International Capital Market Association’s (ICMA) Executive Committee for the Green Bond Principles, which are a set of voluntary standards that aim to promote transparency in the green financing market. HSBC’s Green Financing Framework, published in October 2024, is aligned with the latest Green Bond Principles.
HSBC has obtained a second party opinion from Sustainalytics on the HSBC Green Financing Framework.
HSBC’s 2015 Green Bond Framework and 2017 Sustainable Development Goal Bond Framework remain applicable to bonds issued under these frameworks.
