Investing in Communities

HSBC is committed to making a positive impact on the communities in which we operate. This allows us to develop sustainable community projects and build long-term relationships that make a difference to those in need in our society.

HSBC does more than fund important social programmes. Our employees invest their own time to improve society. We identify social needs and work closely with local organisations to ensure that our efforts are sustainable and reach a broad section of society.

We focus our community investment activity mainly on education and the environment - which we believe are the fundamental building blocks for the development of communities.

Our approach is not to give money and walk away. We partner with organisation that are making a difference, and we remain involved in the decisions about how the money is spent. We encourage our employees to get involved, by creating opportunities for involvement during and outside working hours.

What we do fund:

• Directly rather than through third parties or fund-raising events.
• Specific projects rather than general funds.

What we do not fund:

• Individuals other than through our own established scholarship programmes.
• Book publication, film/drama production.
• Conferences, seminars, symposiums, exhibitions.
• Research studies, surveys, study tours, overseas trips, competitions.
• General fund-raising activities.
• Open-ended recurrent expenditure.
• Projects or programmes already underway.
• Flag days.
• Construction of buildings.
