CDP
The international environmental impact non-profit organisation CDP highlighted AIB as a global leader in corporate climate action. AIB has achieved the Leadership rating since 2016 and was the only bank in Ireland or the UK to make the Global A list in 2020. To achieve this we’ve reduced our carbon footprint in our business and continue to increase our level of disclosure on the impact of climate risks to our business. Every year AIB proactively responds to the CDP Climate Change questionnaire. View our 2023 response.
