Bank of New Zealand's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from National Australia Bank Limited

As of the latest reporting, the Bank of New Zealand does not have specific carbon emissions data available, indicating a lack of disclosed emissions figures. The bank is a current subsidiary of National Australia Bank Limited, which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. While no direct emissions data is provided, the Bank of New Zealand is aligned with broader initiatives from its parent company, National Australia Bank Limited. 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 parent organisation. The bank's climate strategy may also reflect the performance and targets set by National Australia Bank Limited, although specific reduction targets or achievements for the Bank of New Zealand itself have not been disclosed. In summary, while the Bank of New Zealand currently lacks specific emissions data and reduction targets, it is positioned within a corporate family that is actively engaged in climate initiatives and reporting through established frameworks.
