In 2012 HSBC launched the ‘Reduce Program’ to reduce our annual carbon emissions by about a third per employee by 2020. As well reducing our overall impact on the environment, the Reduce Program supports our wider businesses strategy of eliminating complexity and inefficiency.  

During Global Climate Change Week, 14-20 OCT, HSBC across MENAT was engaged in the Reduce Awareness Campaign, which included activities and awareness messages that aimed to raise understanding around the importance of contributing to managing better our waste and decreasing the amount of paper and water we use in our buildings. 

Some activities held during this week, was the screening of “Our Planet: Our Business” Film. Inspired by the Netflix “Our Planet” series, this film shows the immense value of nature to our economy, the scale of the challenges that we are facing, and the critical role that business can play in creating solutions at scale.
