Have a look at HSBC staff and the times they impressed us with their community work on Wearside.
We are continuing our look back at companies in the Echo headlines and this time the spotlight is on the popular bank.
Staff dug in to help at a countryside project near Penshaw Monument in 2005, and climbed Mount Kilimanjaro for charity in 2011.
That’s just for starters. Check out this line-up of achievements.
