Hong Kong otorga el primer préstamo de biodiversidad a Henderson Land

Hong Kong ha concedido su primer préstamo de biodiversidad a Henderson Land Development para espacios verdes en Central Yards. HSBC y Hang Seng Bank otorgaron la financiación, estimada en 100 millones de dólares de Hong Kong. Los fondos apoyarán la gestión de bosques urbanos y el seguimiento de la biodiversidad.

Los fondos del préstamo financiarán sistemas inteligentes para mantener y gestionar un nuevo bosque urbano de especies vegetales nativas. También cubrirán estudios, evaluaciones y el seguimiento continuo de la biodiversidad urbana en el lugar. Más de 400 árboles y alrededor de 280 especies vegetales serán plantados a través de múltiples jardines como parte del proyecto. Matthew Hung, jefe de clientes corporativos globales de HSBC en Hong Kong, señaló que la financiación ofrece un modelo escalable para que las empresas cumplan sus objetivos de sostenibilidad. Añadió que esto fortalece la posición de Hong Kong como un centro financiero internacional líder en sostenibilidad. Una encuesta reciente de HSBC reveló que alrededor del 60 por ciento de las empresas asiáticas consideran ahora la transición climática como un enfoque estratégico clave.
