Developed Net-Zero Targets for a Global Bank

Developed Net-Zero Targets for a Global Bank

We worked with a major financial institution to help them develop their first overall and sectoral targets.

Client Context

  • A large international bank was looking to set its first sectoral and overall decarbonization targets
  • They needed senior leadership to understand the strategic implications of a net-zero strategy
  • They needed to determine the relevant data and measures required to set actionable target

Project Overview

  • Baselined portfolio emissions and explored relevant transition scenarios aligned with 1.5 C
  • Collaborated with lines of business to develop specific transition strategies
  • Developed targets based on the latest net-zero alliance standards and in line with their strategic objectives

Results Achieved

  • Provided an initial baseline estimate of scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions for future reporting
  • Selected the appropriate IEA scenarios for use in decarbonizing their high-emitting sectors
  • Created training materials and content to help senior leaders determine appropriate alignment approach
  • Created a target-setting document outlining both 2050 and interim targets.
