We connect capital, ideas and solutions across economies to support our customers as they adapt to the challenges of climate change and the opportunities of the transition.
Our reach across global value chains and trade corridors, deep roots in Asia and the Middle East, and expertise in infrastructure and project finance mean we can play a prominent role in financing the transition where it matters most.
Corporate and Institutional Banking and Commercial Banking customers
Our customers include businesses of all sizes – from some of the largest companies across sectors such as energy, power and utilities, transport, manufacturing and real estate, to medium-sized and small business customers with widely differing transition needs.
Our lending to corporate and institutional customers makes up the majority of our balance sheet and financed emissions, so the role we play with these customers is critical to achieving our net zero ambition.
Institutional and individual investors
We leverage our international presence and experience across developed and emerging economies to help investors navigate global markets and create investment strategies that can endure.
Asset Management serve customers ranging from individuals to sovereign wealth funds and central banks to pension schemes, insurers and corporates.
Personal, Premier and Private Bank customers
We serve individual customers across the world, with the majority of our retail franchise concentrated in the UK and Hong Kong. We provide everyday banking, lending, savings and investment solutions, helping households manage financial needs and build long-term wealth and resilience.
Alongside this, our International Wealth business seeks to protect and grow our customers’ wealth in our home markets of Hong Kong and the UK, and within growing hubs in South East Asia, the Middle East and Europe.

The ability to provide a cleaner, greener future for us all is incredibly important for HSBC.

For Artemis, it was really important that we had a finance and banking partner that had a shared vision.

Sustainable Supply Chain Finance
[Sandeep]
Unilever being a global multinational, one of the largest FMCG companies, is an ideal partner for us to put a programme together to serve suppliers and achieve our objectives on sustainability.
I would encourage all the suppliers to really embrace it. If we can get onto that bandwagon and on that journey early enough, it benefits us both as a business as well as an individual.
[Rodrigo]
By connecting the financial benefits with these sustainability objectives, we are already seeing different suppliers taking even bolder steps, such as sharing the carbon footprint that they have, investing in cleaner technologies, and in some cases, improving livelihoods and working conditions through the Living Wage Promise.
[Marlowe]
With our sustainable supply chain finance facility with Unilever, Unilever suppliers can progressively access better financing rates as they strengthen their sustainability performance.
This approach goes beyond traditional supply chain finance by directing capital towards sustainable endeavours, rewarding suppliers for achieving sustainable objectives, and advancing Unilever's commitment to sustainability across their entire value chain.
[Rodrigo]
I have to say, this programme is not only about the financing rates.
It's a strategic enabler to encourage real changes in the way that we do business, for all of us, across the different value chain.
To HSBC, thank you very much for helping to build this financial infrastructure and architecture to make this sustainable journey more accessible for more suppliers.
To our suppliers, you are our vital partners, and I'm very excited to welcome you as co-creators of a more sustainable, inclusive and future fit way of doing business.
[William]
HSBC and Unilever have got a long shared history and partnership. We've also got a shared geographic presence around the world. Not only that, we have a shared vision of the future.
