Can an opportunity for the planet, also be an opportunity for your business?
Finance has a crucial role to play in tackling climate change and broader environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues. That's why we are setting out an ambitious plan to prioritise financing and investment that supports the transition to a net zero global economy – and helps to build a thriving, resilient future for society and businesses.
HSBC has committed to aligning the financed emissions from our portfolio of customers to net zero by 2050 or sooner, in line with the Paris Agreement goals. To help get there, our target by 2030 is to provide between USD750 billion and USD1 trillion of finance and investment towards transition.
In Australia, HSBC can help you navigate the sustainable finance world. We can deliver a consistent global banking experience with sustainable solutions and insights to support your business needs – enabling you to make long-term decisions that are good for your business and good for the environment.
Our net zero ambition represents a material step up in our support for customers as we collectively work towards building a thriving low carbon economy.
