Find out how you can play a role in helping the world transition to a sustainable global economy.
Biodiversity is fundamental to maintaining natural cycles of weather, stable ecosystems and life on earth. But climate change, extensive human development and rising pollution levels are increasingly contributing to loss of natural habitats. This has resulted in a sharp decline in earth's biodiversity.
At HSBC, we are at the forefront of helping our clients strive for a sustainable future. By exploring powerful new solutions that are being developed to harness, regenerate and protect biodiversity, we hope to open up a world of opportunity for investors to make tangible impact in the battle against climate change.
Supporting our clients on their ESG journey and unlocking new climate solutions are just two of the three key strategies in achieving our ambition to be the leading bank for the transition to net zero. HSBC also aims to reduce carbon emissions from its operations and supply chains to net zero by 2030 or sooner, and to align the carbon emissions of its portfolio of customers to the Paris Agreement goal to achieve net zero by 2050 or sooner. The Bank remains committed to invest USD100 million in clean technology through its dedicated venture debt fund and launch a USD100 million philanthropic programme to help scale climate innovation.4
