OUR PATH TO NET ZERO

Addressing climate change requires collective efforts.

To cement our net zero commitment we have established the very first set of
targets for our Scope 3 financed emissions attributable to us as a bank. These
targets will guide us on strategically channelling financing away from
high-emitting activities towards low-carbon alternatives.

They also represent one of the most comprehensive sets of targets in the global
banking industry thus far.
