HSBC will square off against a $892bn investor coalition over its climate plans at the bank’s annual general meeting on 3 May.

Royal London Asset Management, Axiom Alternative Investments and a group of Catholic priests form part of the shareholder group that will ask the UK lender to explain how it intends to use the money it has put towards sustainable finance.
