Sustainable Business: HSBC sets bold climate change ambitions | Supply chain News and trends | Scoop.it
HSBC, one of the biggest banks in the world, has set bold climate change ambitions — and its sustainability aspirations are now being replicated in New Zealand.

The bank, based in London after being established in Hong Kong in 1865, believes there is a landmark opportunity to build a thriving, resilient future for society and businesses by prioritising financing and investment that supports the transition to a carbon zero global economy.

HSBC, with assets of nearly US$3 trillion (NZ$4.29t), operates in 64 countries and has 40 million personal banking customers and 1.4m business clients. The bank is prepared to work with all of them to develop tailored solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emission. It is also applying a climate lens to financing decisions.
