Changes from Previous Version

Between the 2020 and 2024 versions, AIB Group plc significantly expanded its sustainability commitments and green financing framework. The 2024 version introduces specific quantitative climate targets (Net Zero by 2030, 70% green/transition lending by 2030), substantially increases the Climate Action Fund from €5bn to €10bn, and adds new strategic initiatives like the Social Housing Fund and explicit ESG ratings disclosures. The framework now includes more detailed governance commitments (gender-balanced board/ExCo), a formal Excluded Activities List, and alignment with international standards (UNEP FI PRB, TCFD). The reporting structure has evolved to encompass financed emissions (Scope 1, 2, 3) and sector transition pathways, reflecting stronger accountability and transparency standards than the earlier framework.
