HSBC Says It’s Time To End ‘Negative Bias’ On Fossil Fuels
- HSBC's new chief sustainability officer advocates for ending the negative bias towards fossil fuels to ensure energy security and aid in the transition to a low-carbon future.
- Banks and investors are challenging net zero assumptions as the world is on track for significant warming, emphasizing the need to increase spending on low-carbon activities.
- Currently, the banking industry's allocation towards green projects falls short of the required ratio for limiting warming to 1.5C, with pressure on fossil-fuel clients to uphold core strategies.
- BP's recent shift towards increasing investment in oil and gas over renewable energy aligns with banks' criticism of overly restrictive fossil-fuel policies.
- HSBC and other banks are reevaluating emissions goals due to slow decarbonization progress, acknowledging challenges posed by political and physical realities.
- The global push for net zero is losing support, with political shifts and economic challenges making the 1.5C alignment increasingly difficult to achieve.
- Despite obstacles, HSBC remains committed to reaching net zero financed emissions by 2050, emphasizing the scientific basis of staying aligned with a 1.5C pathway.
- HSBC's sustainability strategy evolves under new leadership to navigate the changing global finance landscape and environmental challenges posed by current realities.
- Key players in global finance retreat from net zero initiatives, affected by political climates and economic constraints that impact climate goals and energy transition efforts.
- The discussion on fossil fuels in the financial sector reflects a broader debate on balancing energy security, environmental concerns, and the urgency of transitioning towards sustainable practices.

What Does it Take to be Wealthy? HSBC Reveals UK’s Attitudes Towards Wealth
- HSBC's report reveals a large wealth perception gap in the UK, with top earners underestimating their wealth by around 30 percentage points.
- Despite being in the top four per cent, high earners in the UK do not identify as wealthy, with only one per cent of the population considering themselves wealthy.
- The report indicates a shift in perception of wealth among high earners towards a more holistic view.
- Many high earners feel financial scarcity due to rising costs, inadequate savings, and social comparisons, despite their objective wealth.
- Regional differences in perceptions of wealth exist, with Londoners considering it takes over £289,000 to be wealthy, while the Northeast average is around £80,000.
- High earners often have ambitious financial goals, but only 44% feel they are on track to achieve them, highlighting a gap between aspirations and reality.
- Investments are seen as a crucial indicator of wealth, with high earners focusing on non-material factors like retiring early, travel, and investments.
- Younger generations, particularly Gen Z, value non-material wealth indicators more than material possessions, emphasizing factors like work-life balance.
- Developing regular saving habits and investing gradually over the long term are key steps towards building wealth, according to HSBC's head of premier wealth.
- HSBC aims to help customers define wealth on their own terms and support them in achieving their financial aspirations.
