We’re taking action to create a healthier planet through our operations
We know our business has direct and indirect impacts on the environment and we’re working hard to tackle these.
That’s why we’re reducing our emissions, using energy and water more efficiently and reviewing our supply chain to avoid deforestation.
We run on 100% renewable electricity
We have solar on our head office in Melbourne, Echuca and Swan Hill branches, and National Contact Centre in the Latrobe Valley. Plus, we have a 10-year agreement with the Crowlands Wind Farm as part of the Melbourne Renewable Energy Project.
We’ve been carbon neutral since 2011
We measure, reduce and offset our greenhouse gas emissions every year and we’re certified carbon neutral by the National Carbon Offset Standard. View our 2018 carbon neutral summary here.
We’ll reduce our emissions by 16% by 2025
We used science-based methods to work out how much we need to reduce our emissions from gas, the bank’s cars and electricity to do our bit to keep global temperature increase below 2 degrees.
Our priorities
Ahead of the Paris climate change talks in 2015, Bank Australia made seven commitments as part of We Mean Business, a global platform to demonstrate business leadership on climate action. These commitments have guided our action so far.
