ANZ 2023 Half Year Results
ACCELERATING OUR APPROACH FOR THE TRANSITION TO NET ZERO
New social and environmental
sustainability target
•
By 2030
$100b
On 1 April 2023, we commenced a new $100
billion by 2030 social and environmental
sustainability target to improve social and
environmental outcomes for our customers,
including initiatives that help lower carbon
emissions, increase access to affordable
housing and promote financial wellbeing.
This will be periodically reviewed and revised
to ensure it continues to match our
ambition.
Progress against our sectoral
decarbonisation targets
•
We were the first Australian bank to join the Net-
Zero Banking Alliance (NZBA) in 2021 and set
emissions pathways and targets - for power
generation and large-scale commercial real
estate. In November 2022, we announced four
additional sectoral pathways and targets in oil &
gas, aluminium, cement and steel.
We are on track to set 2030 targets for a total of
nine priority sectors aimed at ensuring at least
75% of our portfolio emissions are on a net zero
pathway by the end of 2024.
• Our direct exposure to thermal coal mining has
reduced by ~82% since 2015; our exposure is now
less than 0.02% of Group exposure at default
(EAD). We are on track to exit all direct lending to
thermal coal mining well ahead of our 2030
target.
We will use these pathways to steer our lending
decisions in line with the Paris Agreement goals.
We expect the transition is likely to be uneven -
and there will be challenges in some sectors more
than others.
Our Climate Change
Commitment
• Our pathways set our strategy and course out to
net zero by 2050 and use credible decarbonisation
scenarios, allowing us to:
Determine how each sector is performing
against a Paris-aligned path
Better pinpoint and manage customers
that may be more exposed to transition
risks; and help them to capture the
growing opportunities that come with
the transition
Assess the speed and extent to which we
are transitioning our exposure to key
sectors
Provide transparency about how our
financing is aligned with climate scenarios
We will reduce our exposure to our largest emitting
business customers that, after significant
engagement, have not improved their transition
plans by 2025.
