To meet the Paris Agreement goals, significant greenhouse gas emissions reductions are required across all sectors of the economy. Trillions of dollars are needed to invest in new and existing technologies that help reduce emissions.
We expect that the many financing opportunities, linked to our business strategy, will contribute to achieving the Paris Agreement goals and the transition to a net-zero economy. The opportunities will also deliver appropriate returns for our shareholders.
ANZ’s ambition is to transition its lending portfolio to net zero financed emissions by 2050 in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement.
We support an effective and orderly transition that recognises and responds to social, economic and environmental impacts of a net-zero transition. This aligns with our purpose to shape a world in which people and communities thrive.
Our focus areas
By anticipating changes to financial markets and financial systems, we seek to better identify and manage climate risks and opportunities.
These changes include:
- regulatory and legislative expectations, including disclosure requirements;
- customer, shareholder and civil society expectations; and
- how climate risk is assessed, managed and priced.
We are responding to these changes and have identified opportunities in four key areas:
Supporting our customers' transition and resilience
The most important role we can play in the transition to net-zero is to support our customers to reduce emissions and to adapt and become more resilient to a changing environment and economy.
Transitioning our lending portfolio to net zero financed emissions
Our success in supporting and accelerating a net zero transition by 2050 will be driven by our ability to help our customers reduce their emissions.
Collaborating with stakeholders to support an economy wide transition
We recognise it is vital to work collaboratively with our stakeholders to help support the transition to net-zero emissions.
Reducing emissions from our operations
We are reducing our operations’ greenhouse gas emissions to manage our climate impact.
