HSBC invests in ESG data business  

HSBC has joined the funding round of MioTech, a sustainability data and technology provider.  

In Brief: 

  • MioTech helps companies in China monitor their ESG (environmental, social and governance) data.  

  • HSBC’s Strategic Innovation Investments Team invested in an additional round to MioTech’s Series B. 

  • Investors include ZenFund, Horizon Ventures, Moody’s and TOM Group.
