Environment and Community

We are committed to building a business for the long term, developing relationships that last.

Our business has an impact on people here in Canada and all over the world – including our customers, employees, suppliers, regulators, investors, and the wider communities we serve.

Being sustainable means building strong relationships with our stakeholders and taking into account the issues that matter to them.

Here in Canada, we are guided by HSBC’s global approach to Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) performance. We set targets, monitor our progress and regularly publish updates on our ESG performance in our global ESG Reporting Centre.
