NEW YORK – (BUSINESS WIRE) – August 9, 2021–
HSBC Bank USA has become the first Walmart bank employee to support its initiative to make access to working capital affordable, transparent and fairer. The financing program, in collaboration with C2FO, provides certified diversified and minority suppliers 1 with convenient and consistent access to reliable sources of funding. The funding could in turn be applied to initiatives that drive growth and improve resilience, such as hiring more employees, investing in innovation, and creating a cash cushion for periods more difficult.
This initiative complements an existing HSBC and Walmart program that links a vendor’s funding rate to Walmart’s sustainability standards. Walmart Suppliers Demonstrating Progress in Sustainability and Contributing to Walmart’s Initiative to Reduce One Billion Metric Tons of Greenhouse Gases from Their Global Value Chain by 2030 (Gigaton Project) have access to enhanced financing from HSBC.
“Minority-owned and diverse businesses face significant barriers to accessing capital, so we are delighted to help these businesses receive the financing they need to thrive,” said Priyamvada Singh, Head of Global Trade in North America and debt financing products at HSBC. “It’s always great to team up with customers who share our commitments, and we look forward to continuing this journey with Walmart. “
Last year, HSBC adopted a framework to advance inclusion in the United States, which includes solutions that help clients advance their social goals for diversity and equity.
