Sector Benchmark
Note: Latest GHG and revenue data (based on tradingview.com) are used to calculate GHG emissions intensity by sector. The color scale of each bubble depends on the GHG intensity (GHG emissions per 1 million USD revenue). Sectors follow the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS) that organize companies based on their primary business activities. The 11 sectors are : Information Technology, Health Care, Financials, Consumer Discretionary, Communication Services, Industrials, Consumer Staples, Energy, Utilities, Real Estate, and Materials.
HSBC belongs to the sector Financials.
Offsets
Last update for HSBC by zerotracker.net: Sept. 4, 2024| Planning to use external offset credits | Yes |
| Separate targets for emission reductions and removals | No |
| Conditions on use of offset credits |
|
| Plans for carbon dioxide removal (CDR) | Yes (unspecified) |
Additional notes: "We have three elements to our strategy: reduce, replace and remove. We plan to first focus on reducing carbon emissions from consumption, and then replacing remaining emissions with low-carbon alternatives in line with the Paris Agreement. We plan to remove the remaining emissions that cannot be reduced or replaced by procuring, in accordance with prevailing regulatory requirements, high-quality offsets at a later stage. We are working on our carbon credits strategy by engaging with a range of market participants" (Annual report 2023, pg. 63) "We do not plan to use carbon offsets to meet our net zero by 2050 portfolio financed emissions target or related interim 2030 sectoral financed emissions targets" (Net zero transition plan 2024, pg.76) "Climate Asset Management, a joint venture between HSBC Asset Management and Pollination, is also already building a pipeline of carbon credits from high-quality carbon removals" (p.76; https://web.archive.org/web/20240406145848/https://www.hsbc.com/-/files/hsbc/who-we-are/pdf/240123-our-net-zero-transition-plan.pdf)
