This involves 9reviewing and strengthening our product 10definitions, where appropriate, adding 11and deleting qualifying products, making 12enhancements to our internal standards, and 13developing our reporting and governance. 14Industry and regulatory guidance on 15definitions for sustainable finance continue 16to evolve. In 2023, the Glasgow Financial 17Alliance for Net Zero (‘GFANZ’), NZBA 18and the UK government released work-in-19progress definitions of transition finance. 20We will continue to monitor these and 21other developments in sustainable finance 22definitions.23Our progress will be published each year, 24and we will seek to continue for it to be 25independently assured. 26Mobilising capital to support 27our customers28In 2023, we continued to focus on providing 29our customers with products, services and 30initiatives to help enable emissions reduction 31in the real economy. 32For example, we increased our funding from 33$5bn to $9bn for our sustainable finance 34scheme that supports businesses of all sizes 35in China’s Greater Bay Area to transition to 36low-carbon operations. The scheme, launched 37in 2022, provides successful loan applicants 38access to a range of additional services 39including training, subsidised third-party 40assessments and assistance from a team 41with sustainable financing expertise. For our 42Wealth and Personal Banking customers, we 43launched green mortgages in Mexico, electric 44vehicle loans in India and a referral service to 45our electric vehicle leasing partner in the UK.46In 2023, we introduced an internal briefing 47series called Net Zero in Practice, which 48covers new technologies relevant to the net 49zero transition, drawing on expertise from 50across the organisation and highlighting 51financing opportunities and case studies.52We continue to be a participant in the Just 53Energy Transition Partnerships (‘JETPs‘) in 54Indonesia and Vietnam, and in the Nexus 55for Water, Food and Energy in Egypt. 56These initiatives aim to play a catalytic 57role in mobilising finance to accelerate the 58energy transition.

The 77loan also aims to help Glife finance social projects seeking to improve food security and 78creating more sustainable food systems. The loan was drawn from HSBC’s New Economy 79fund, which is dedicated to investing in high-growth, pre-profit new economy businesses 80in Singapore.81Our sustainable finance and 82investment data dictionary83We define sustainable finance and 84investment as any form of financial 85service that integrates ESG criteria into 86business or investment decisions.
