ANZ urged to push top 100 emitters harder on transition

ANZ Banking Group said more than half of its 100 biggest emitting customers had either not publicly disclosed plans to transition to net-zero or were just starting to develop their plans as of a year ago, as analysts pushed for updated disclosures about conversations with clients on the transition.

At a briefing on its environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance on Monday, ANZ provided year-old data relating to its biggest emitters, representing 30 per cent of Australia’s overall emissions or more than 150 million tonnes of direct (‘scope 1’) emissions.
