Transition towards sustainable practices

Key Highlights:

• The HSBC Global Emerging Markets (EM) Corporate Sustainable Bond strategy is designed to address a critical gap in the financing of issuers that meet sustainability criteria requirements across EM companies.
• We hope that our investment approach—prioritising sustainability improvements as a driver of financial returns—can help to redefine investing in emerging markets.
• The strategy identifies EM companies with clear potential for ESG improvement and aligns its investments with the highest standards of the SFDR Article 9, ensuring transparency, accountability, and alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
• Through robust research, active engagement, and strategic capital allocation, the strategy seeks to deliver positive environmental and social impact while delivering long-term value to investors.
• This credit-intensive strategy focuses on rigorous credit research and engagement, leveraging HSBC’s robust EMD investment platform and credit and responsible investment (RI) analyst teams.
