HSBC, headquartered in Hong Kong (HK), currently does not provide specific carbon emissions data for the most recent year, as no emissions figures are available. Consequently, there are no reported Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions data points to analyse. In terms of climate commitments, HSBC has not outlined any specific reduction targets or initiatives in the provided information. This absence of data suggests that the bank may not have formalised its climate strategy or reduction goals at this time. As a major financial institution, HSBC's approach to climate change is critical, particularly in the context of increasing global emphasis on sustainability and carbon neutrality. The bank's future commitments and actions will be essential in aligning with industry standards and expectations for climate responsibility.
Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.
HSBC is not participating in any of the initiatives that we track. This may change over time as the company engages with new initiatives or updates its commitments. DitchCarbon will update this information as it becomes available.
