HSBC Talks Business

As part of HSBC’s Business Plan for the Planet programme, we have commissioned The Economist Intelligence Unit to help you kick-start your company’s net-zero action plan. The Economist Intelligence Unit conducted a survey of 500 global business leaders across a variety of sectors and from small, medium-sized and large companies. Aligned with an advisory board of eight experts, this research examines concerns about costs, the importance of clear definitions and the need for collaboration, distilling it all into 10 key pain points businesses may face during their transition.

These findings feed into an interactive checklist that enables companies to assess their current progress and consider solutions and opportunities that sustainability offers. Also available are inspirational case studies to enhance your net zero plan.

Jonathan Drew, Managing Director of ESG Solutions at Global Banking HSBC talks to Nigel Mattravers, Joint Venture Representative of Hong Kong-based New Life Plastics about the company’s business plan to recover plastic and process it for reuse. Nigel explains how the fledgling business, operating out of Hong Kong’s EcoPark, has identified a clear business case built upon an environmental need for its operations. With about 5m PET bottles thrown away in Hong Kong every day, mainly disposed of in landfill, the business has a clear supply chain and, with increasing regulation in the EU mandating the percentage of recycled plastic to be used in new products, there is also a growing market for the company’s recycled outputs. Discussing both challenges and opportunities, Nigel shares his experience of being part of the circular economy and considers how other businesses and industries can join in the path to a better future.
