Paris Agreement to Today

(Beschrijving van wat het bedrijf heeft gedaan en misdaan sinds het akkoord van Parijs.)

As at 2016, a year after the Paris Agreement, ABN AMRO had a - then - recent investment in the Dakota Access Pipeline.

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.

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.

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.

Current Policies and Emissions

(Beschrijving van de uitstoot van het bedrijf en eventuele beleid.)

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.

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 (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).

Over 2020, ABN AMRO reported a total of 25.7 MtCO2e (million tonnes of carbon-dioxide equivalents) in GHG emissions in scope 3 (down from 27.4 MtCO2e in 2019). The vast majority of this, over 85%, are from corporate loans and non-listed equity. ABN AMRO further reported a total of 6.6 MtCO2e in scope 1&2 carbon emissions of their private-banking operations (down from 7.2 MtCO2e in 2019).

Climate Plans

ABN AMRO Investment Solutions (AAIS) consists of around 80 investment specialists who offer investment products and solutions to ABN AMRO's clients. Their Supervisory Board supervises the Managing Board, as well as the Group’s general course of affairs and its business. They released a Climate Statement, and together with ABN AMRO stated that their purpose “Banking for better, for generations to come” aligns with the Paris Agreement’s goals. They pledged to have all their buildings achieve at least Energy Label A by 2023 and to be Paris Proof by 2030. They also state that they are subject to the French Law on Energy Transition and Green Growth, recently they adopted further regulations through the Law of No. 2019-1147 regarding Energy and Climate.
