Net Zero Strategies in Financial Services Thematic Overview
Financial services are facing new challenges in achieving net zero by 2050. Companies achieve net zero emissions by cutting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to as close to zero as possible, with any remaining emissions then “offset”. The main contributors to these emissions are office heating, company-owned vehicles, and purchased electricity and steam. Efforts to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions include carrying out green renovations on corporate offices and data centers, purchasing renewable energy, and using sustainable aviation fuel for company-owned jets.
Financial services companies are creating climate-focused investment products, but these bring greenwashing risks. This includes debt and equity investments and corporate banking and insurance services. The most common among these is green bonds. To avoid scrutiny, finance majors should carry out robust auditing of ESG-focused offerings and ensure effective cooperation with regulatory authorities.
The “Net Zero Strategies in Financial Services” thematic Intelligence gives you an in-depth analysis of net-zero strategies across the financial sector, including a discussion of why financial services companies need net-zero strategies.

Financial Services Sector - Scope 1, 2, and 3 Emissions Strategies
A few of the Scope 1 and 2 emissions reduction strategies in the financial services sector are sustainable aviation fuel, waste management, water management, renewable energy, and LED retrofitting. Financial services companies are focused on reducing the carbon footprint of offices and data centers.They also seek to obtain certifications from environmental building standard organizations like LEED, BREEAM, Greenstar, WELL, Green Mark, and Fitwel.
Supplier engagement is a strategy to measure and report Scope 3 emissions more accurately. For some financial services companies, their suppliers will also be their clients, creating natural opportunities for collaboration through environmental consulting services. CDP’s Supply Chain program helps companies engage more meaningfully with suppliers through annual surveys to better understand their emissions profiles.
