Representing our communities

Creating a diverse workforce that is engaged and fully supported is a key priority of HSBC. Providing opportunities to harness diverse perspectives and backgrounds to deliver our strategy and help connect customers to a range of opportunities near and far provides HSBC with a competitive advantage and the promise of a more sustainable and inclusive future. Learn more about our commitments to diversity and the recent appointment of Ralph Jardine as Head of Inclusion and Culture in the U.S.

We strive to be a leader in the transition to a low-carbon economy. We recognize our wider commitments to the communities in which we operate and understand that economic growth must also be sustainable.

Our U.S. programs allow HSBC employees to share their time and expertise with our communities through volunteer opportunities and grants. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. has also committed over USD four million to support local businesses and communities that have been impacted.

Our commitment to our communities with a specific focus on affordable housing resulted in the creation or preservation of 15,000 affordable housing projects and support for small business and community services. In 2019, we provided USD 900 million of community development loans and investments to preserve an additional 840,000 housing units and 350,000 jobs.
