University of Glasgow – Schools – Adam Smith Business School – Events – 28 October. Business of Sustainability

Join us for our event with ING, where we consider the role banks can play in fighting climate change. Since 2018, ING has committed to steering its lending portfolio towards the goals of the Paris agreement. One year after making this commitment, ING published its first Terra report, a detailed description of its portfolio current emission intensity and the bank strategy to reach its climate goals – a world-wide first of its kind. Since then, ING increased its ambitions by committing to Net-Zero by 2050 through the Net Zero Banking Alliance.  In this presentation, Alberto and Stefanie will share how ING uses the Terra approach to measure and steer its lending book.
