ASB Bank Limited's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Commonwealth Bank of Australia

ASB Bank Limited, headquartered in New Zealand, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data for the most recent year, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The bank is a current subsidiary of the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, which means that any relevant emissions data or climate commitments may be inherited from this parent organization. While ASB Bank Limited has not set its own reduction targets or climate pledges, it is aligned with the sustainability initiatives of the Commonwealth Bank of Australia. This includes participation in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) and commitments to renewable energy through the RE100 initiative, both of which are cascaded from the Commonwealth Bank at a level 2 relationship. In summary, ASB Bank Limited is currently in a position where it does not disclose its own emissions data or specific climate commitments, relying instead on the sustainability framework established by its parent company, the Commonwealth Bank of Australia.
