HSBC - $4bn credit facility for China’s low-carbon industries

HSBC has launched a $4bn Sustainability and Transition Credit Facility in mainland China, to help companies in the clean energy and low-carbon sectors scale internationally and support decarbonisation efforts across the value chain.

The dedicated credit facility will offer financing to eligible businesses operating in a range of sectors, including clean power, electrification of transport, data centres and artificial intelligence.

The initiative reflects our focus on supporting clients to transition and enabling innovation, growth and opportunity.

“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,” said Natalie Blyth, our Global Head of Sustainable Finance and Transition.

“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.”

In 2025, China accounted for about 47% of global cleantech exports, and about two-thirds of global solar and battery exports, according to BloombergNEF.

As companies in China look to expand internationally to meet this demand, we’ll aim to help them deliver clean technologies and solutions to market more efficiently by increasing credit limits for eligible companies, streamlining credit approvals and developing tailored financial solutions.
