Climate and nature

Our vision is to finance a sustainable and orderly transition and to be a trusted partner for our customers, supporting them to adjust to a changing environment and economy and become more resilient.

Our Climate and Nature Strategy sets out how we respond to climate and nature-related risks and opportunities in support of our purpose and ANZ 2030. 

How we're taking action

Climate and Nature Strategy

Our Climate and Nature Strategy and actions are aligned to ANZ 2030:

> Customer first: Supporting our customers' transition and resilience

> Simplification: Improving consistency and efficiency

> Resilience: Strengthening our climate and nature risk, and opportunity management

> Delivering value: Delivering value and impact to our stakeholders

Funding, facilitating and direct investments through our Social and Environmental Sustainability Target

This year, we exceeded our target to fund and facilitate at least $100 billion by end 2030 in social and environmental activities through customer transactions and direct investments. Reflecting this performance, the target has been doubled to fund and facilitate a total of $200 billion by end 2030. This includes activities that aim to help lower emissions, protect or restore nature, increase access to affordable housing and promote financial wellbeing.

Important information about the target, including eligibility requirements, is set out in the Social and Environmental Sustainability Target Methodology.

Operational emissions

We have a target to reduce combined Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 85% by 2030, against a 2024 baseline from sources owned or controlled by ANZ and which arise from activities at ANZ corporate offices, branches and business centres, data centres and ATMs. Refer to the 2026 Annual Report for more information.

While operational Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions represent approximately 1% of our total emissions, reducing operational emissions remains important as it is within our direct operational control.

Collaborating with stakeholders to support an economy wide transition

At ANZ, we work with a range of stakeholders to enable cross-industry collaboration and thought leadership to support our Climate and Environment Strategy vision to finance a sustainable transition. One example of this is our collaboration with the Energy Efficiency Council to develop and deliver the three-part Forgotten Fuel series of reports that explore the ways in which businesses and households can benefit from using energy efficiency as a tool to supercharge emissions reduction, save money, and improve health and wellbeing.
