Since its foundation in 1865, HSBC has adapted to and helped serve the needs of a changing world. It has financed economic growth, nurtured international trade and overcome events such as economic crises. We recognise that governments, corporations, the financial system and civil society are all stakeholders of climate change and sustainability challenges.
Now more than ever, there is a need to develop the skills, business innovation and low-carbon solutions needed to secure long-term prosperity for all. For HSBC, these are the key elements of sustainable growth which we can influence.
You can read further information about sustainability at HSBC including details of our performance and activities on our corporate website. Please note this is English language only.
We want to play a leading role in the transition to a low-carbon economy
John Flint, HSBC Group Chief Executive
