PR96534
LONDON, June 16, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
- HSBC today announces a new, multi-year partnership with international sports
star Emma Raducanu.
- Emma and HSBC will collaborate on sports initiatives and financial
opportunities for the next generation.
HSBC has announced a four-year partnership with Emma Raducanu, current British
women's tennis number one and the reigning US Open champion, with the shared
ambition to create opportunities for the next generation.
Emma made tennis history when in 2021, she became the youngest female British
player to win the US Open. Since then, her authenticity, talent and
determination has made a global impact beyond the tennis world as an
international citizen, who embraces a multi-cultural lifestyle.
In her announcement video [ https://youtu.be/zsRahgIkpe8 ] , Emma reveals her
excitement about the collaboration which is anchored in shared interests and
values, championing internationalism, inclusivity, and opportunity for young
people. HSBC is partner to five Olympic sports – golf, rugby sevens, tennis,
badminton and football. Underpinning this support is a commitment to future
generations and a sustainable and accessible future for sport.
The bank is committed to opening up a world of opportunity for our customers
and communities all over the world. From focusing on supporting grassroots
initiatives that help children realise the physical and mental benefits of
sport, to opening up participation and enjoyment of sport to a wider audience.
HSBC is the Official Banking Partner of The Championships, Wimbledon. It has
supported the Ticket Resale Scheme since 2010 and generated £1.8m, with every
ticket re-sold helping charities through the Wimbledon Foundation, enabling
increased opportunities for local communities and the next generation of tennis
players. Initiatives such as Give It Your Max have been beneficiaries of this
support, opening up tennis to more children in inner city schools. The bank
has also presented the Mexico Telcel since 2004.
HSBC supports young customers across 64 countries and territories who, like
Emma, look for a bank that will help open the opportunities that matter to
them, whether it is to start university, to travel or simply to begin managing
their own money.
Noel Quinn, HSBC Global Chief Executive, said "HSBC has had a longstanding
relationship with Emma and her family for many years. We're hugely proud of
Emma and what she has already achieved in her professional career. We also
believe there are some really great and innovative ways that we can work with
her to inspire and educate young people, which is why we're so pleased to have
forged this new long-term partnership."
Emma said, "To partner with HSBC is so natural for me having grown up playing
in the HSBC Road to Wimbledon and having been a customer for many years. If I
wasn't a tennis player, I would definitely want to work in finance so I'm
excited to learn more about the industry in the years to come. We are working
on some really cool ideas and I'm particularly looking forward to working on
initiatives that help young people such as financial education, but watch this
space!".
