The world's local bank
We believe long-term success and good corporate behaviour are linked. Corporate Responsibility has been a vital ingredient in HSBC Group's success story. We have always maintained that a company's first social responsibility is to be successful. Success allows us to invest in new products and services for our customers. It enables us to pay the dividends which form an important part of the long-term savings and pension plans of our shareholders. It allows us to contribute to public services through the taxes we pay to governments.
