Environmental sustainability

Enabling the transition to a low carbon, more sustainable and inclusive future for people and businesses is key to delivering on our purpose.

We're committed to reducing the carbon emissions we finance to net zero by 2050 or sooner, and we're aiming to achieve net zero for our own operations by 2030.
