HSBC is resolutely committed to the major challenges facing our society. Thus, it has made ambitious commitments intended to respect the Paris Agreement and fight against climate and environmental disruptions:
We are also committed to the communities where we operate. This commitment operates locally in connection with the Group's climate strategy and the strategy aimed at developing the Future skill.
Among the innovative solutions to fight against climate change, HSBC Continental Europe contributes locally through a global philanthropic program of 100 million US Dollars over 5 years: the Climate Solutions Partnership.
This program is deployed in France through two projects:
Learning fuels innovation. It is about embracing change and breaking down barriers to grow and prosper together. The world is changing and HSBC, we invest in the skills and technology we need across our global network to build a sustainable future. We emphasize skills development through conferences, training and engagement opportunities for our people. Developing one's skills means taking part in one's professional development and personal well-being, for oneself and one's community. It is important when people acquire, update or improve their knowledge to take into account the transformations taking place around us, both in response to the climate crisis and to changes in professional practices.
Another element of our action consists of supporting communities through philanthropic programs to promote employability and financial education. Each of the programs we support allows employees to get involved in volunteering missions around two themes:
