HSBC in Europe
Discover how HSBC is helping our customers evolve within a transformative European landscape
Our net zero ambition
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. At the heart of the plan is a pledge to reduce financed emissions from our portfolio of customers to net zero by 2050 or sooner, in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement
Our brand commitment to sustainability across New York
We recently launched a campaign in New York City, US to further underscore our sustainability commitments. Our messaging uses outdoor digital ad space to emit blue light which research has shown can encourage surrounding plant growth. Contact us to learn about how we support our customers’ sustainability ambitions.
Getting to Net-Zero Checklist
Most companies aim to reach net-zero emissions, but there are significant challenges to overcome along the way. That’s why HSBC has commissioned The Economist Intelligence Unit to develop an interactive net-zero checklist, based on insights from real businesses like yours, which can help you generate a tailored plan to help prepare you for the transition.
Be part of the Business Plan for the Planet
Businesses need a partner with the understanding, the capabilities and the resources to help them make the transition to a sustainable model, and HSBC can become this partner.
We are committed to:
- Achieving net zero in our own operations and supply chain by 2030 or sooner
- Supporting our portfolio of customers to thrive through transition
- Dedicating between $750bn and $1trn of finance and investment by 2030 to help our customers transition
- Unlocking next-generation climate solutions
Mobilising the global transition
