The bank mentions that key to achieving their goal is their cyclic approach of measuring, setting targets and reporting, which is taken at all relevant levels: their lending profile, their investment portfolio and their own operations. Their approach for the three relevant levels includes targets such as (1) aiming that 20% of their total energy portfolio is renewable energy in 2020, (2) increasing their sustainable investments (client assets) to 22.5 billion euros in 2020 and 30 billion euros by 2022, (3) aiming for all of their offices and branches in The Netherlands to achieve energy label A by 2023, and (4) aiming for 25% of their lease car fleet to be electric by 2020 and 100% electric by 2025.

One of the mentioned targets is to reduce the absolute Scope 1, 2 and 3 greenhouse gas emissions of its business operations by 80 percent in 2025 compared with 2015. However, steps still need to be taken in the area of carbon emission reporting in order to accurately measure ABN AMRO's total emissions and be able to implement reduction plans. For their investment services, the bank considers the starting point of the companies in the client's investment portfolio using a carbon emissions measurement that is primarily focused on documenting Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. Scope 3 emissions are not included in their analyses due to poor data availability and reliability and there are no specific thresholds that companies need to meet to be selected for investments <ref name="Journey_Paris_2021"/>. | |||

ABN AMRO Bank N.V., stylized as ABN AMRO, the third-largest bank of the Netherlands, has its headquarters in Amsterdam [1]. It was established during the financial crisis of 2007 through a merger of the former Fortis Bank Nederland and former ABN AMRO Holding N.V. In 2015, ABN AMRO was publicly re-listed through an initial public offering (IPO) by the Dutch government. In 2021, ABN AMRO had a total of 19,957 employees (FTEs) worldwide, with 16,925 of that number employed in The Netherlands [2]. The banking company has 24 offices in the Netherlands and is active on 5 continents. Their current stock market value is 10.4 billion EUR[3] and they have over 5 million accounts[4].

Accountant
The independent auditors of ABN AMRO are KPMG and Ernst & Young Accountants LLP (EY) [12].
Main Activities
ABN AMRO's business performance is made up of Retail Banking, Commercial Banking, Private Banking, Corporate & Institutional Banking, and Group Functions. ABN AMRO sells shares on the public stock market for around 12-13 EUR. Most of these shares, 50.1% of the total, are held by Stichting Administratiekantoor Continuïnteit ABN AMRO Bank (STAK AAB), the rest of the shares, 469.1 million, are held directly by NL Financial Investments (NFLI)[13]. ABN AMRO itself has not received NOW support but invests fraudulent cases regarding these subsidies.
Government
ABN AMRO does not have royal status [14]. ABN AMRO has not received NOW support from the Dutch government [15].
Paris Agreement to Today
ABN AMRO was the first bank in Europe to issue a Certified Climate Bond. The bond proceeds will be used to finance loans related to residential and commercial buildings that meet certain energy-efficiency or low-carbon criteria. In April 2018, they were the first issuer of a Certified Climate Bond that uses the new Marine Renewable Energy criteria. This bond supports 4 offshore wind farms in the North Sea.[16]
As of March 2018, ABN AMRO had a share of USD 168 million in Royal Dutch Shell. Over the period January 2016 - September 2021, ABN AMRO provided a corporate loan of USD 196 million to Cambo oil field.[17]
In the period 2018-2020, ABN AMRO provided EUR 1.6 billion in bank loans and underwriting to fossil fuels. Over that period, ABN AMRO increased the proportion of renewable energy in its energy sector credits from 31% to 48%. At the end of 2020, ABN AMRO had 234 million euros invested in energy, with a share of 71% in fossil fuels, and 29% in renewables [18].
As of May 2019, ABN Amro Clearing (AAC), a subsidiary of ABN Amro, supports an international project for reforestation aimed at restoring old forests to its former glory. The corporate bank unit started this together with Land Life Company, a Dutch tree planting company. Through this project, AAC aims to achieve tangible sustainable results by planting new forests in Chicago and Spain. The intention is that these two projects form the prelude to more projects spread around the world [19].

In response to the exceptional and challenging circumstances of COVID-19 and the net loss recorded in 2020, the European Central Bank (ECB) recommended temporary suspension of all cash dividends and share buybacks in March 2020 [27].
Scandals and controversies
Dakota Access Pipeline
In 2016, a year after the Paris Agreement, ABN AMRO made an investment of 45 million US Dollars in Energy Transfer Equity (ETE), who financed the Dakota Access Pipeline [28] [29]. Forbes reported that, after the pipeline's first year of operation, it was transporting over 79,000 m3 of oil per day and had already transported 29.02 million m3 of oil [30]. Besides the detrimental effects on the climate, the pipeline flows directly underneath the Missouri River - threatening the water source of many Americans - and crosses territories of indigenous nations, such as the Lakota Treaty Territory and Standing Rock Sioux Reservation, - infringing on their rights as native people [28]. Following this, the planned construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline became subject to numerous protests for indigenous rights and climate change activism [31]. In a press release published on February 2nd 2017, ABN AMRO stated that they will stop the financing of Energy Transfer Equity (ETE), the mother company of Energy Transfer Partners (ETP). ETP is one of the companies involved in the construction of the pipeline [32] [33] [34]. ABN AMRO's decision was precedented by media publicity and protests by, among others, Oxfam Novib, Fossil Free NL and De Eerlijke Bankwijzer [35] [28] [36].
Current Emissions
ABN AMRO says that its purpose is "Banking for better, for generations to come." To support this purpose, they have a bank-wide goal to bring their lending and client-investment portfolio in line with at least a well-below-2°C scenario and to support the transition to a net-zero economy by 2050.[37]
ABN AMRO have been capturing and reporting the greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions from their business operations for a number of years. The majority of their overall GHG footprint lies in their lending and client-investment portfolio (i.e., scope 3), and initially there was no consistent approach to capturing this information across the industry. To address this, in 2015 ABN AMRO partnered with 13 other Dutch financial institutions to launch the Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials [38] (PCAF). Since 2018, ABN AMRO used PCAF to disclose the emissions financed by their lending and investment portfolios across all asset classes on their balance sheet that currently have a methodology available (currently out-of-scope asset classes include consumer lending, institutions, central banks and governments).[39]
Over 2021, ABN AMRO reported a total of 26,287 KtCO2e (kilo tonnes of carbon-dioxide equivalents) in GHG emissions in scope 3 (down from 41,179 KtCO2e in 2020). The vast majority of this, over 80%, are from corporate loans and non-listed equity. ABN AMRO further reported a total of 6.65 KtCO2e in scope 1&2 carbon emissions of their private-banking operations (down from 9.38 KtCO2e in 2020) [40] [41].

Climate Policies and Plans
They also state that they are subject to the French Law on Energy Transition and Green Growth[47]. Recently they adopted further regulations through the Law of No. 2019-1147 regarding Energy and Climate.[48]
=Climate Statement
In July 2020, ABN AMRO released a climate statement acknowledging its role in achieving the Paris Agreement objective and stating that their purpose "Banking for better, for generations to come" and their bank-wide strategy to "Accelerate the sustainability shift" aligns with the Paris Agreement's goals. In this statement, the bank presents the 'ABN AMRO Climate Strategy'. The goal of this strategy is formulated as follows: "The ABN AMRO bank-wide goal is to bring our lending and client investment portfolio in line with at least a well-below 2-degree scenario and to support the transition to a net-zero economy in 2050 [49]. The bank mentions that key to achieving their goal is their cyclic approach of measuring, setting targets and reporting, which is taken at all relevant levels: their lending profile, their investment portfolio and their own operations. Their approach for the three relevant levels includes targets such as (1) aiming that 20% of their total energy portfolio is renewable energy in 2020, (2) increasing their sustainable investments (client assets) to 22.5 billion euros in 2020 and 30 billion euros by 2022, (3) aiming for all of their offices and branches in The Netherlands to achieve energy label A by 2023, and (4) aiming for 25% of their lease car fleet to be electric by 2020 and 100% electric by 2025. They mentioned that the cyclic approach follows from their commitments on climate such as the Principles for Responsible Banking and the Dutch Financial Sector Climate Accord and that their Climate Statement is a living document that will be updates at least annually to reflect their actions and endeavors [50]. ABN AMRO furthermore adds to their statement that they do not yet know with certainty where they stand in their pathway to bringing their portfolios in line with the Paris Agreement and that measuring is therefore a crucial starting point. ABN AMRO mentions lastly that they are committed to climate action through, among others, the following initiatives:
1. Accounting for Sustainability (A4S) [51]
2. Dutch Climate Accord (financial sector) [52]
3. Equator Principles [53]
4. Getting to Zero Coalition [54]

11. UN Principles for Responsible Banking (PRB) [61]
12. UN Principles for Responsible Investing (PRI) [62]
Paris Alignment Report
In March 2021 ABN AMRO released a report called 'Guiding a Bank's portfolio to Paris: Our journey of Paris alignment 2021', in which they state the actions the bank is taking to achieve the Paris climate goals and how they measure their progress [63]. In this report, the bank formulates their goals and targets for five identified sectors: (1) Business operations, (2) Energy (fossil fuels and power generation), (3) Commercial real estate, (4) Residential real estate - mortgages, and (5) Investment services [63].
One of the mentioned targets is to reduce the absolute Scope 1, 2 and 3 greenhouse gas emissions of its business operations by 80 percent in 2025 compared with 2015. However, steps still need to be taken in the area of carbon emission reporting in order to accurately measure ABN AMRO's total emissions and be able to implement reduction plans. For their investment services, the bank considers the starting point of the companies in the client's investment portfolio using a carbon emissions measurement that is primarily focused on documenting Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. Scope 3 emissions are not included in their analyses due to poor data availability and reliability and there are no specific thresholds that companies need to meet to be selected for investments [63].
However, later on it is mentioned that the bank primarily focusses on documenting Scope 1 and 2 emissions and does not at present include Scope 3 in their analyses due to poor data availability and reliability. For their Energy portfolio, ABN AMRO states that they aim to increase the proportion of renewable energy in the portfolio to
For our Energy portfolio as a
whole (including all subsectors), we are committed to increasing the proportion of renewable
energy in the portfolio to 45 percent by 2024, against 13 percent in 2018.
Lastly, in 2015 we emitted 11.9 kTon of CO2 as a result of air travel. Our target for 2025 is 5.6 kTon of CO2. In 2019 we implemented a new Clean Air Travel Policy, to limit travel for internal purposes, introduce ‘Rail Only’ for four primary international destinations and start a biofuel investment programme. These initiatives helped us to cut back on our air travel-related carbon emissions by 13 percent between 2015 and 2019
ABN AMRO wants its commercial real estate portfolio to have a weighted average energy label A by 2030. Reaching this goal will require a step-by-step approach that starts with assigning energy labels to every single property in our portfolio. The first intermediate goal is to have a weighted average energy label C for our commercial real estate portfolio in 2025. However, the first step is a relatively easy one, as weighted average energy label C (‘reasonably low energy consumption’) can be achieved with existing and proven solutions like improved glazing, solar power and LED lighting, with payback periods of five years or less. While energy label C can be achieved with existing solutions and technologies, we expect new technologies will provide our clients with the necessary tools for the challenging stages after C towards label A and beyond
At year-end 2020, 17 percent of the homes in ABN AMRO’s mortgage portfolio had been granted energy label A.
ABN AMRO’s Mission 2030, which we adopted in 2017, calls for sustainable and futureproof homes with lower energy bills, reflected by a weighted average energy label A for the bank’s entire residential mortgage portfolio.
