I am proud that Rabobank today published its annual report and the impact report, including the third year of our estimates of financed emissions (FE). As one of the leading banks in carbon emission disclosures, Rabobank also contributes to the further development of the methodology , which is still evolving and it helps in our journey to #paris. What's new this year? Partly driven by the upcoming #csrd requirements, more corporate clients provide us with their own carbon footprint information, covering ca. 60% of this portfolio, making the FE more accurate. We also engaged with our external accountant PWC for assurance around the financed emissions, to assure that our process is robust. And they confirm the robustness of the process! Since methodology is still evolving, comments and input is welcome. Check out the impact report (pp. 21-24) and / or annual report disclosures (pp. 26-32) and our Pillar 3 disclosures, for those interested in the details! #rabobank #financedemissions #growingabetterworldtogether

To celebrate B Corp Month, we’re sharing some of the ways that we demonstrate our commitment to sustainability and #bankingbetter. Did you know… The Co-operative Bank has been B Corp certified since January 2021 and our business operations are certified as being carbon neutral. In partnership with the environmental agency Toitū Envirocare, The Co-operative Bank is a certified net carbon-zero organisation. We have measured and offset the carbon footprint of our business operations with certified carbon credits. You can read more about how we offset at https://lnkd.in/gyuHKcc6 Considering our environmental impact is a key aspect of the B Corp framework. The Toitū net carbonzero programme is an independent certification verifying we are taking action for the environment. ------------------------------- B Corp is an international certification that recognises businesses meeting high standards of social and environmental performance – like us 😊 The B Corp Certification is fast becoming a global signpost for leadership in environmental and social impact and provides a way for customers and employees to recognise businesses that are working to a new way of doing business – or in our case, what we call #bankingbetter.  #Bcorpmonth #netcarbonzero #bankbetterNZ

Get out the popcorn and watch me ask the Chair and CEO of ANZ about their $100bn #sustainablefinance commitment, and their forward-looking take on #CCS and #avoidedemissions, at last year's FY2023 AGM in Brisbane. Likewise, I attended the Westpac AGM last year to ask the Board and Exec about how they plan to energy performance upgrades of Australia's lowest-income households, as well as how they plan to align with best practice #transitionplan disclosure frameworks, such as that established last year by the UK's Transition Plan Taskforce (TPT). I've been assessing the transition plans of Australia's banking majors - i.e. five of the largest companies on the ASX - for three years now and it is incredible to witness the economy transform by our very eyes. We still have a long way to go to align with the science, and I'm certain the finance sector is nowhere near pricing in the manifold and compounding system risks we face. While it's kind of scary to be alive at this time, it's also rather exhilarating at times! Speak truth to power.
