Abstract

This report assesses the climate ambitions of 26 major international banks, ten US super-regional banks, and two custodian banks The TPI Centre began assessing the banking sector’s progress on the low-carbon transition with a pilot study in 2022. This 2024 assessment includes an evaluation of 26 major international banks, 10 US super-regional banks and two US custodian banks, on two elements: Net Zero Banking Assessment Framework (NZBAF) Carbon Performance The results of our 2024 assessment send a clear message: the overwhelming majority of banks are still in the early stages of their transition to a low-carbon economy. This is despite the fact that most banks we assess are now publicly disclosing some of their financed emissions and half are committing to reducing them to net zero by 2050. Yet, banks score poorly on both the NZBAF and Carbon Performance assessments.
