The report also includes exclusive interviews with sustainability managers from leading banks, as well as a critique of the banking industry’s progress as a whole, and interviews with world leading experts. Each bank is fully profiled, with details on sustainability strategy, employee engagement and sustainability record.

Content Sample:
Jennifer Lauber Patterson, director of Carbon and Energy markets for NAB Banks is a specialist in environmental and energy markets and has over 20 years of experience in the banking and energy sectors:
“A key success factor for our reduction of emissions is that we’ve applied an internal carbon price to our business cases for energy efficiency projects. This is because as a carbon neutral organisation, any emissions remaining after implementation of energy efficiency projects and switching to cleaner fuel sources need to be offset by purchasing carbon credits. Our first priority in our carbon neutral journey has always been to improve our energy efficiency and reduce our carbon emissions, and the internal carbon price has really helped join the dots between financial reality and sustainability initiatives. We’re also fortunate in that we have a clear commitment to environmental sustainability at an Executive level – this has been invaluable. Without it, we wouldn’t have been able to achieve what we have. We also have the support of an extensive community of passionate green teams across Australia that has been integral to our environmental program.”
