OUR APPROACH TO CLIMATE CHANGE
We support an economy-wide shift: we support and encourage key industries to identify their risks and plan for the
transition, while simultaneously helping industries that are able to create new job opportunities for their workforces

... by managing and
reducing emissions from
our own operations
Initiatives:
In 2018 we started engaging with 100 of our largest emitting customers to encourage and support them to establish, or strengthen existing low carbon
transition plans by 2021, focusing on energy, transport, buildings food, beverage and agriculture. By the end of this year we aim to have engaged all 100.
• We are funding and facilitating up to $50b of investment in environmentally sustainable solutions by 2025 to help our customers lower carbon emissions
through increased energy efficiency, low emissions transport, green buildings, reforestation, renewable energy and battery storage, emerging technologies
and climate change adaptation measures.
We are managing our exposure to thermal coal (thermal coal mining lending now constitutes less than 0.1% of our balance sheet); helping our utility
customers reduce emissions; we are only lending to new diversified customers; and we no longer finance the construction of conventional coal fired power
plants. We will announce a suite of new and upgraded carbon policy measures and targets at our FY Results in October 2020.
