HSBC in Bangladesh
As the world's local bank, we believe that to understand a country you need to be part of it. Our sponsorships demonstrate our commitment to supporting our local community.
In Bangladesh we are proud to sponsor the HSBC-Prothom Alo Language Competition, HSBC-Kali O Kolom Young Poets and Writers Award, HSBC-The Daily Star Climate Awards. We are passionate about encouraging children in learning Bengali language, supporting the arts, recognising and taking actions, promoting environmental projects for all our sponsorships, whether local or global.
The HSBC Prothom Alo Language Competition initially started as a quiz contest commemorating the advent of 21 February 2004 and the leading Bengali daily Prothom Alo. With overwhelming responses from the participants, the nationwide 'HSBC Prothom Alo Language Competition' was launched in 2005.
