Sustainability performance and reporting
Take a detailed look at our performance over the last financial year.
About our annual reporting suite
Our annual reporting suite, published in November 2024, gives an overview of our sustainability performance.
Our 2024 Annual Report (PDF, 7MB) provides information on our activities and outlines how we’re creating value through our strategy, operating environment, governance, financial and non-financial activities. It gives our stakeholders the big picture, beyond just the numbers.
Each year we undertake extensive stakeholder engagement with investors, analysts, employees, consumer advocate groups and community groups to ensure our Annual Report is focused on the issues that matter most. We refer to this as our Materiality Review.
Our 2024 Annual Report (PDF, 7MB) and 2024 Sustainability Data Pack have been prepared with due consideration to relevant reporting guidelines and frameworks including the IIRC Integrated Reporting Framework and Global Reporting Initiative Standards. They include independent assurance statements from Ernst & Young.
Our 2024 Climate Report (PDF, 6MB) has been prepared considering the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures and the reporting obligations of our membership of the Net Zero Banking Alliance. Independent assurance of key measures was provided Ernst & Young.
Our Supplementary Climate Disclosures (PDF, 1MB), published in June 2024, provided an update on Customer Transition Plans assessments, environmental finance ambition and four further sector decarbonisation targets in two high-emitting sectors.
EY provides limited assurance for various elements of NAB’s sustainability-related reporting.
Assurance statements are included in NAB’s 2024 Annual Report and 2024 Climate Report.
NAB has received separate assurance statements for the following scopes of work:

We prioritise avoidance and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions associated with our operational Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions (excluding financed emissions), we then retire carbon offsets for the emissions that remain. Our Australian operations are certified under the Climate Active Standard for Organisations.
