Bendigo and Adelaide Bank Sustainability Commitments
2025
Run on renewable energy
The bank says it aims to operate fully on renewable energy by 2025. Renewable energy means power from sources like wind and solar that do not run out in the same way as fossil fuels. This commitment appears in press coverage of the bank’s climate work and sits alongside its wider emissions reduction plan.
2030
Cut emissions by half
The bank’s BENZero policy commits it to a 50% reduction in emissions by 2030. The report cited in press coverage says this target is part of its path toward net-zero emissions. Net-zero means cutting emissions as much as possible and balancing the rest with removals or offsets, though the exact method is not detailed in the source.
2040
Reach net-zero emissions
The bank says its BENZero policy commits it to net-zero emissions by 2040. Net-zero means the bank aims to reduce emissions sharply and then balance any remaining emissions. The source says this target covers the bank’s climate direction, but it does not provide a full breakdown of all emissions sources or the exact pathway.
