The South Pole Net Zero Report 2025

Global financial institutions zero in on net zero - how financial institutions are progressing on net zero targets and what they expect from portfolio companies' climate strategies.

This year, South Pole’s Net Zero Report 2025 focuses on financial institutions, as financial institutions have the power to lead the market.
