Corporate Social Responsibility

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is critical to HSBC’s long-term success in China. CSR is not only about charitable donations, the environment or society, but also about making decisions that maintain the right balance between the environment, society and the Bank’s business.

HSBC China is committed to the Group’s emphasis on education, the environmental protection and support of local communities. HSBC China’s CSR activities also focus on social development, staff volunteering, consumer education and ethical banking.

HSBC China provides commercial free and professional financial knowledge to help consumers understand financial investment and associated risks.

We believe that education is crucial to the development and prosperity of every country. By supporting education in China, we seek to contribute to nurturing talent for China’s future success.

Ethical banking is HSBC’s approach to lending and investment that follows guidelines set by international standards. This approach takes into consideration society’s expectations and the interests of future generations.

The environment is the foundation for sustainable business. Protecting the environment is a key CSR focus of HSBC China.

Corporate governance means maintaining a high level of integrity and transparency in the way we conduct our business. This involves providing timely and accurate disclosure of information for our stakeholders.

HSBC is helping to tackle climate change with a five-year, US$100 million global programme of the HSBC Climate Partnership.
