HSBC Delays Net-Zero Goal to 2050, Citing Slow Progress

MT Newswires Live
19 Feb

HSBC (HSBC) said Wednesday it now aims to achieve net zero in operations, travel and supply chain by 2050 instead of a previous target of 2030.

The bank said it remains on track for a 90% reduction in scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030, but scope 3 supply chain reductions have been slower than anticipated. HSBC said it expects a 40% reduction in emissions from operations, travel, and supply chains by 2030.

The revision follows an annual review of HSBC's net-zero transition plan, which was first unveiled in January 2024.

HSBC shares were 1% lower in recent premarket activity.
