Our Values
Our values of being open, dependable and connected are reflected in everything we do. These values are assessed throughout the recruitment and selection process and annual performance review. We want you to speak up, do the right thing and act with courageous integrity at all times.
Sustainability at HSBC
At HSBC, Sustainability means building our business for the long term by balancing social, environmental and economic considerations in the decisions we make. This enables us to help businesses thrive and contribute to the health and growth of communities. Our approach to sustainability focuses on three key pillars: sustainable finance, sustainable operations and sustainable communities.
Sustainable Finance
We recognize and support the move to a low-carbon economy, which will help to limit global temperature rise, in line with the Paris Agreement. We anticipate and manage potential social and environmental risks that may arise through our lending and investment activities.
Sustainable Operations
Managing our environmental footprint is not only the right thing to do, it also helps us to be more efficient. Together with our suppliers and employees, we work to find new ways to reduce the impact of our operations on the environment.
Sustainable Communities
We make financial contributions and our employees volunteer their time to support a range of community projects focused on education, the environment and children’s health.
