Earthwatch and HSBC: Banking on Sustainability

For the past five years, Earthwatch has worked with HSBC employees around the globe, helping them understand and engage with environmental and sustainability issues. This innovative, award-winning initiative, delivered as part of the HSBC Climate Partnership, has produced some startling results:

More than 62,000 employee volunteers have participated in environmental projects.

2,267 HSBC employees - known as 'Climate Champions' - have contributed 63,000 hours work, helping Earthwatch scientists build a comprehensive picture of the carbon cycle in temperate and tropical forests worldwide. Climate Champions have also delivered their sustainability projects within HSBC.

More than 150,000 individual trees have been measured during the forest research programme.
