In the latest phase of the HSBC Water Programme, running since 2017, Earthwatch has engaged over 1,600 employees through the Sustainability Training Programme (STP) – an immersive outdoor learning programme focused on sustainability and climate change issues.
Part of this programme includes training HSBC employees as citizen scientists and collecting data to support our research into Climate-Proof Cities. By August 2019, HSBC citizen scientists had collected over 80,000 data points for research projects in 17 major cities in Canada, China, India, France, Hong Kong, Mexico, the UAE, the UK and the USA.
The programme also supports HSBC in nurturing the next generation of clients. Through immersive learning experiences and hands-on research, young leaders of tomorrow gain an understanding of what sustainability means to them, both personally and for their businesses, so that they can help protect our environment for the future.
