Asia’s best bank for sustainable finance 2018: HSBC

Awards for Excellence 2018

For our best bank for sustainable finance award, HSBC edges BNP Paribas and BAML for the range of its deals and its involvement in industry bodies that are furthering sustainable finance.

First, the deals. The headlines went to the first Belt and Road climate bond, a triple-tranche deal from ICBC; the first sovereign green sukuk, a $1.25 billion print from Indonesia; and China Resources’ acquisition of a 30% stake in the Dudgeon offshore wind farm off the UK coast, plus of course HSBC’s own $1 billion Sustainable Development Goals bond.
