HSBC is fully supporting the shift to a net zero economy. This complex and evolving landscape requires unprecedented collaboration with industries and government bodies to channel capital in a way that drives transition. HSBC is collaborating with experts from industry, academic and government institutions to better understand the best way to drive emissions outcome-based decisions. HSBC’s Centre of Sustainable Finance aims to collate and share the thinking and outputs of these collaborative projects, in order to scale and replicate the transition across geographies and sectors.
Centre of Sustainable Finance
Back to Sustainability for businessesTransitioning to a net zero economy means rewiring the financial system to look at aligning investment to emissions pathways. To move faster on doing this, the financial sector must share ideas and collaborate with industry experts to understand what works in practice and what makes sense from a climate solutions perspective. This work is fundamental to helping HSBC navigate the transition landscape.
