It is one of ABN AMRO's objectives to help its clients in their transition to sustainability. The bank itself is also taking measures to become more sustainable. In the run-up to the climate summit in Glasgow, ABN AMRO has co-signed two calls. It concerns a letter from participants of the World Economic Forum who argue for uniform global reporting standards in the field of sustainability. In addition, signatories to the 'Call on Carbon' call on world leaders to make the climate goals set in the Paris Agreement more concrete and thus take greater steps towards achieving climate neutrality by 2050.
