We’re supporting our customers to finance their transitions.

Enabling the transition

Partnering towards net zero

We aim to help our customers transition to net zero and a sustainable future by providing and facilitating between $750bn and $1trn of sustainable finance and investment by 2030. Our sustainable finance and investment ambition helps to promote green, sustainable, and socially-focused business and sustainable investment products and solutions.

Across our broader financing portfolio, we are focused on engaging with our customers on their transition plans, offering products and services to enable their progress, and financing the infrastructure and technology needed for a net zero global economy.

We aim to leverage our strengths in three key areas to support our customers in their transition journeys.

Transitioning industry

We aim to leverage our scale and global footprint to help clients across sectors with their transition planning and to support investment in innovation, diversification, and decarbonisation, in line with their objectives.

Catalysing the new economy

We aim to support clean industrial development and the scaling of entrepreneurial new economy companies at all stages of financing across the markets we operate in.

We deliver this financing across our portfolio, including through HSBC Infrastructure Finance and – for clients at the earliest stages of growth – HSBC Innovation Banking, as well as through partnerships.

Decarbonising trade and supply chains

We aim to leverage our strength as a global trade bank to help decarbonise cross-border trade flows and supply chains through our green trade finance and sustainable trade instruments, sustainable supply chain financing and sustainability-linked lending for trade.

Our climate strategy

We aim to become a net zero bank by 2050 by reducing our own emissions and supporting our customers to diversify and decarbonise.

Net zero in our operations

We’re working to reduce emissions in our operations, travel and supply chain.
