We might have contact with a bank over a loan or an overdraft extension . But when HH Global ’ s Kevin Dunckley encountered HSBC he came away with a career change .

Banking on a new career As current Chief Sustainability Officer Kevin explains , the eureka moment happened when he went into a forest and re-emerged as a “ changed man ”.
He says : “ Back in 2013 I was a CIO at HH Global , running tech , and I had senior management responsibility for our relationship with HSBC , one of our big clients .
“ They ran a global sustainability leadership and learning programme with their execs in nature-based environments , with NGO partner Earthwatch .”
He adds : “ Each time , one of their key supply chain partners got invited . After five days on that programme , working with scientists and NGOs , I came back a changed man .”
Kevin met with HH Global ’ s then CEO and said : “ We ’ ve always considered sustainability , but our focus on it needs to deepen . This is a really big area and we need to dive head-first into it .”
