SGS announced today we have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with HSBC to jointly enhance understanding of green and sustainable finance and related services in Hong Kong by organising a series of training, webinars, industry outreach events, and knowledge exchange activities.

The partnership will combine SGS’s expertise in conducting external review for sustainable initiatives and HSBC’s knowledge and capabilities in corporate finance to help businesses and individuals in Hong Kong learn more about the fast-evolving green finance space. Companies and the general public will be able to sign up for webinars where representatives of SGS and HSBC will discuss the latest green finance and sustainability concepts and topics. There will also be co-organised training for the employees and customers of both organisations and industry outreach sessions to raise awareness on green financing themes, tools and formats.
