HSBC Sustainability Improvement Loan

Capture the benefits of sustainable financing with HSBC and EcoVadis
Get in touch
Many businesses need to become more sustainable to meet customer expectations and regulatory demands. However, the cost, time and expertise required to develop a sustainability strategy can be a barrier to meaningful change, particularly for small and medium-sized companies.

We have partnered with EcoVadis, one of the world's largest provider of business sustainability ratings. They have provided sustainability ratings to over 130,000 companies globally.

EcoVadis can help you to understand how sustainable your business really is, identify areas of strengths and highlight where changes are needed to improve your rating. You may even be able to link the price of finance to your sustainability performance using an EcoVadis rating with our HSBC Sustainability Improvement Loan.

Benefits of an ESG assessment

By completing an EcoVadis ESG assessment of your business, you will get a rating which may be used to take out a HSBC Sustainability Improvement Loan. This means that the cost of borrowing can be linked to your sustainability performance, and the interest rate on your lending can be reduced2 if your EcoVadis score improves.

Further benefits of an ESG assessment include:

icon

Benchmark your performance against your sustainability goals

icon

Get key insights to help you shape a more sustainable business model, making your business more cost effective and resilient

Target Icon

Use your ESG rating in bids and tenders to show that you meet sustainability criteria

Eligibility

If you have an EcoVadis ESG rating, you may be eligible for our Sustainability Improvement Loan.

The HSBC Sustainability Improvement Loan will be eligible for HSBC customers looking for a new facility or those who are looking to refinance or convert an existing facility and will be available for a range of business loans and trade products.

How it works - HSBC Sustainability Improvement Loan

Once you have a HSBC Sustainability Improvement Loan, you must undertake an EcoVadis ESG assessment in order to get a new rating for each annual reporting period, for the lifetime of the facility.

Your EcoVadis rating is used to track your ESG performance over time, and you can qualify for better interest rates if your scores improve in line with agreed targets. Similarly, your interest rate may increase if your EcoVadis rating declines.
