• 100% net zero financed and operational emissions by 2050
GHG scopes included:

Net Zero Investment Framework
Own/other methodology
Scenario(s):
Our internal pathway is to reduce emissions as quickly as possible. Our targets are not derived from any top-down models as they don’t align with how we invest and are looking to decarbonise at a faster rate than the IPCC or IEA pathways.
