We aim to become a net zero bank by 2050, and we have made progress towards our net zero ambition.
As at 2025, we have reduced our own operational emissions (scope 1, 2 and business travel) by more than 80% since 2019, and in 2025 we mobilised $102 billion in sustainable finance and investment.
That contributed to a total of $495.6 billion of sustainable finance and investment between 2020 and 2025, advancing towards our ambition to provide or facilitate $750 billion to $1 trillion by 2030.

Supporting our customers is core to our strategy and financing their transition is both critical to them and aligned to our net zero ambition.
