As part of HSBC’s Business Banking Centre of Excellence, you’ll be primarily responsible for assessing carbon footprint risk within the wholesale credit portfolio, identifying the physical and transition risks that climate change may bring. This involves in-depth quantitative analysis and data review of clients’ emissions reduction targets, net-zero strategies, and green energy transition plans across various industries, ensuring the bank’s credit decisions rest on accurate ESG indicators.
This work plays a key role in HSBC’s global push toward net-zero emissions. By rigorously verifying compliance with the Thermal Coal Phase-Out Policy and screening high-sensitivity sector clients for eligibility, you directly influence where financial capital flows, helping steer the real economy toward a greener, low-carbon model. This is a core position for turning green finance from a concept into an actual risk-management practice.
This suits someone who is data-savvy, familiar with international ESG disclosure standards (such as TCFD/ISSB), and eager to make an impact within a multinational banking environment. It requires not just the ability to surface climate risk from dense financial statements, but also the communication resilience needed to see complex projects through to implementation.
