NatWest Group has supported its customers with £17.5bn climate and sustainability funding and financing in 2021, the bank’s new climate-related disclosures show.
This includes £8.1bn since launching its new target to lend £100bn to these projects by 2025 in July last year.
Lending to oil and gas companies fell by 21% in 2021 from £4.1bn to £3.25bn, now making up 0.7% of the bank’s overall lending.
