HSBC Bank Canada's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Royal Bank of Canada

HSBC Bank Canada currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The bank is a current subsidiary of HSBC Holdings plc, and its climate commitments and performance may be influenced by the broader initiatives of its parent company. While there are no documented reduction targets or specific climate pledges from HSBC Bank Canada, it is important to note that emissions data and performance metrics may be cascaded from related organizations. In this case, emissions data and performance information are inherited from the Royal Bank of Canada, which operates at a cascade level of 1. This relationship may provide insights into the bank's overall climate strategy and performance. As part of the financial sector, HSBC Bank Canada is likely to align with industry standards and best practices regarding climate commitments, although specific details on their initiatives or targets are not available at this time. The bank's approach to sustainability and carbon reduction will be essential in addressing the growing concerns around climate change and environmental impact.
