Island companies can reap financial rewards if they can capitalise on sustainable practices.

That's according to HSBC's head of commercial banking in the Isle of Man and Channel Islands, Warwick Long.

It comes after a HSBC survey of more than 8,500 companies found a trend of businesses making sustainability changes to supply chains to make them 'greener'.

Mr Long added it's a 'fantastic opportunity' for Manx companies to get involved in the trend, saying it benefits the environment, society and the bottom lines.
