HSBC Malta announced that its headquarters in Qormi, HSBC Hub, has been awarded LEED ID+C Gold certification. The certification recognises the project’s sustainability performance and the measures implemented to support a more efficient and high-quality indoor working environment.
LEED, which stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, is one of the world’s most recognised green building certification programmes. Achieving Gold reflects the standards the bank met across areas such as energy and water efficiency, materials, indoor environmental quality and overall sustainability performance.
This is a genuine team achievement, made possible through close collaboration between HSBC employees and the bank’s project partners.
Jonathan Taylor, Country Head of Corporate Services at HSBC Malta said: “LEED Gold is a brilliant outcome for HSBC Hub and a real credit to the colleagues and partners who kept quality and sustainability front and centre throughout. It’s a practical step forward in creating a workplace that performs better for people and the environment.”
HSBC Malta’s CEO, Geoffrey Fichte, commented: “This certification shows what we can deliver when we work as one team with a clear goal. It strengthens our commitment to operating responsibly in Malta and creating spaces that support colleagues, customers and our communities.”
HSBC Hub also offers practical day-to-day benefits for both customers and employees, with ample free on-site parking spaces and free electric vehicle charging points, with plans to double the charging points during the coming months as part of ongoing enhancements.
The branch located within HSBC Hub also provides added convenience for both retail and commercialcustomers, with longer opening hours than other branches and Saturday operations.
An official hard-copy LEED certificate has been received, and the bank plans to mark this achievement with the installation of a LEED Gold plaque at its HSBC Hub premises in Qormi.
