How has HSBC Mobilised US$100bn in Sustainable Finance?

In 2025, HSBC mobilised more than US$100bn in sustainable finance and investment.

The company serves around 41 million customers across 57 markets, making it one of the world’s biggest financial organisations.

This achievement reflects HSBC’s continued focus on sustainability through its operations as well as its investments.

“2025 was a year of decisive action and swift execution, which is reflected in our strong performance,” says Georges Elhedery, Group CEO of HSBC.

“Each of our four businesses performed well and we have strong momentum across the bank.

“We are becoming a simple, more agile, focused bank, one that moves with the speed our customers need to navigate the modern world.

“We are delivering growth, investing for growth and we are executing our strategy with discipline and precision. That gives us confidence in our ability to continue delivering for our shareholders.”

HSBC’s financial results

As part of its 2025 financial results, HSBC has announced it reached US$102bn in sustainable finance and investment mobilised in the calendar year.

This brings its cumulative total since 2020 to US$495.6bn in sustainable financing.

Thanks to this result, HSBC is on track to meet its target to provide and facilitate between US$750bn and US$1tn in sustainable finance and investment by 2030.

Elsewhere in its results, HSBC’s revenue of US$68.3bn increased by US$2.4bn, equivalent to a 4% growth since 2024.

Julian Wentzel, Group CSO at HSBC, writes on LinkedIn: “2025 was a milestone year for HSBC’s sustainable finance and investment journey.

“This momentum reflects our commitment to supporting our customers’ transition by connecting them to opportunities and playing our role empowering the growth of transition ecosystems and clean energy at scale.

“A heartfelt thank you to our colleagues, customers and partners who are making this progress possible and congratulations to the teams involved.”

HSBC’s sustainability plan

HSBC’s wider sustainability goals include its ambition to become a net zero bank by 2050.

It works on financing the transition to net zero, supporting its customers to reach their own sustainability targets.

The company incorporates net zero considerations into its decision-making, its climate risk management framework and its own operations and supply chains.

It is partnering and engaging with governments, regulators, academia, civil society and other stakeholders to accelerate the movement of capital towards the net zero transition.

HSBC’s net zero strategy, which was updated in 2025, focuses on areas where client demand and real-economy impact are the greatest.

Georges says: “With our new plan, we are putting HSBC’s strengths and simpler structure to work for our customers with even more intent: supporting today’s economy to decarbonise, and enabling innovation, growth and significant opportunity in the new economy, while continuing to make progress towards our own net zero ambitions and targets.”
