The HSBC Water Programme, which launched in 2012, is a collaborative partnership with Earthwatch, WaterAid and WWF. It also supports more than 70 other local projects across the world.

This eight-year US$150 million programme has been successful in tackling the global water challenge through water provision, protection, education and scientific research. This website highlights case studies and metrics that demonstrate our shared vision of a sustainable future for all. We showcase how our collective work is contributing to growth that is both sustainable and economically viable, and is supporting the implementation of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

As a leading global trade bank, HSBC has a role to play in supporting a shift to a responsible and sustainable economy, including championing sustainable supply chains and the transition to a low-carbon future. To support this ambition, HSBC has committed to initiatives to tackle climate change and support sustainable economic development in the communities it serves. HSBC is working with businesses, to help them manage environmental and social impacts – and we are supporting them in adopting more sustainable practices.
