For more than 10 years, we have been working with our business customers to help them understand and manage their environmental and social impact. HSBC has specific sustainability risk policies covering agricultural commodities, chemicals, defence, energy, forestry, mining and metals, and UNESCO World Heritage Sites and Ramsar-designated wetlands.

HSBC is committed to supporting the communities in which we operate. In 2018, we contributed USD105 million to charities and non-profit organisations running community projects around the world. Employees gave 264,000 hours of time to volunteer during working hours.

These may include projects reflecting local needs, such as environmental protection or healthcare.
As well as its ongoing community support, the bank is committed to providing financial assistance and other forms of help in response to unforeseen and sudden challenges, such as natural disasters and humanitarian crises.
