HSBC announced the launch of a $4 billion Sustainability and Transition Credit Facility in mainland China to support companies operating in clean energy and low-carbon sectors as they scale internationally and advance decarbonization efforts across global supply chains.
The dedicated financing initiative will provide credit support to eligible businesses across sectors, including clean power, transport electrification, data centers, and artificial intelligence. The program is designed to help Chinese companies expand internationally while accelerating the deployment of low-carbon technologies and infrastructure.
The initiative aligns with HSBC’s broader strategy of supporting clients through the energy transition while enabling innovation, growth, and international expansion opportunities.
According to BloombergNEF, China accounted for approximately 47% of global cleantech exports in 2025, along with roughly two-thirds of worldwide solar and battery exports. HSBC said the facility is intended to help Chinese companies meet growing international demand for clean technologies and solutions.
As part of the initiative, HSBC plans to increase credit limits for eligible companies, streamline credit approval processes, and develop tailored financing solutions to support overseas growth and expansion into global markets.
KEY QUOTES:
“China is home to some of the world’s most dynamic low-carbon companies. These businesses are setting new benchmarks in high-end manufacturing, while playing a vital role in transforming transition ecosystems.
As they scale internationally, they need financial partners with the global reach and expertise to support them. This facility is designed to provide exactly that – and no bank is better placed than HSBC to help clients find, access and navigate growth opportunities across global ecosystems.”
