3.From a 2020 baseline. Subject to foreign exchange rates, given that a significant portion of our oil & gas exposures are denominated in USD. See our Climate-related Financial Disclosures and Financed Emissions Methodology for details including
the part of the sector’s value chain and the customers in scope of the pathway (as at 30 September 2023): anz.com/esgreport
•We have been clear that we want to support our oil and gas customers who have
credible, disclosed transition plans
2
.
•Our Climate Change Commitment and related market disclosures have also been
clear that we believe gas plays a material and important part in meeting Australia’s
current energy needs and will do so for the foreseeable future.
•We will work with our energy customers, with robust plans aligned with our
climate policy framework, to help finance their transition whether that be through
direct financing or general corporate facilities.
•At the same time, we are taking a further step towards transitioning our oil and gas
lending to align with the goals of the Paris Agreement. We will no longer provide
direct financing to new or expansion upstream oil and gas projects. As well, we will
not on board any new customers primarily focused on upstream oil and gas.
•This step supports our 26 per cent emissions reduction by 2030 pathway
3
and 40
per cent exposure at default reduction by end 2025 target

.
•Should national energy security issues arise and our assistance is sought, we will
consider exceptions on a case-by-case basis.
•A new phase of customer engagement in 2024 (in place from 1 October 2023),
triggered in part by the Safeguard Mechanism reform in Australia
1
.
•The new Large Emitters Engagement Program (LEEP) has seen us:
•Focus on our absolute 100 largest emitting business customers
•Raise our customer transition plan benchmarks
•Expect customers to obtain third-party assurance of emissions
performance and targets
•The LEEP, together with sectoral pathways, are informing our credit decisions in
higher emitting sectors.
•In 2023, we disclosed progress against our existing pathways in six key sectors and
set 2030 targets in two new sectors: Thermal Coal and Transportsub-sectors
(Aviation, Shipping and Auto Manufacturing).

1.Our Large Emitters Engagement Program (LEEP) customers were identified based on information available in August 2023 from: (a) customers who were part of the previous phase of our engagement program, had operational control over or a
major financial stake in any Safeguard Mechanism facility or were included in our sectoral pathway targets; plus (b) customers that ANZ has otherwise identified as large emitters for the purpose of our customer engagement. We also assessed
whether the customer met specific credit limit thresholds and had an ongoing relationship with ANZ. Subsequently, the customers were ranked by emissions from highest to lowest, encompassing Scope 1 and 2 emissions for all customers and
Scope 3 emissions for Coal, Oil & Gas, and Mining Infrastructure customers. The top 100 customers with the highest emissions were identified as our 100 largest emitting business customers for LEEP. ANZ expects that this group of customers will
comprise the LEEP group for the target period, noting that additional customers may be added if a customer in this group ceases its relationship with ANZ or if engagement for some other reason is not practical
2.By the end of 2025 or we will likely reduce our exposure to them. Any customers rated 'C' or 'D' in 2024 that are included for the first time as part of our new phase of engagement will need to improve their plans by the end of 2026. Refer next slide

•As a member of the Net-Zero Banking Alliance
(NZBA), we have committed to transitioning our
lending portfolio to align with net zero by 2050.
•In 2023, we disclosed progress against our
existing pathways in six key sectors and set 2030
targets in two new sectors:
Thermal Coal and
Transpor tsub-sectors (Aviation, Shipping and
Auto Manufacturing).
•This does not currently include targets in
relation to ‘facilitated’ emissions such as bonds.
However, the updated NZBA guidelines released
in March 2024 will require banks to include
bonds in targets by November 2025.
•We will review our existing –and any new -
pathways and targets to incorporate bonds or
other relevant facilitated emissions by
November 2025.

•Since 2015 our exposure to thermal coal mining has reduced by ~88%
•ANZ’s exposure to thermal coal mining is a small portion of our overall
lending (now comprising ~0.02% of Group EAD)
•Both our upstream oil & gas and thermal coal mining exposures
2
have decreased, reflecting our ongoing portfolio management
initiatives.
•Our thermal coal mining exposures are now largely mining
rehabilitation bonds. Given the advanced state of portfolio runoff,
the rate of exposure reduction will likely slow.

CUSTOMER ENGAGEMENT TO SUPPORT BIODIVERSITY PROTECTION
Supporting customers to transition to nature based outcomes
•ANZ seeks to support our customers to transition to net zero and nature based outcomes.
•Engagement with our largest emitting business customers on biodiversity in 2023, illustrated increased customer awareness of biodiversity and an
increasing willingness to improve holistic management approaches.
•Our Climate Change Risk Assessment tool guides our bankers’ engagement with these customers to better understand their climate risks and
opportunities and how they're managing their impacts on nature, including biodiversity.
•Our engagement is helping to refine our screening, improve our knowledge and enhance our capacity to further engage.
Pilot of the TNFD ‘LEAP’ Framework
•In 2023, we participated in a pilot study of the TNFD
1
framework’s application and provided feedback on the learnings and existing barriers to adopting
and implementing the framework in the Australian context
2
.
•Piloting the approach enabled ANZ to develop an understanding of how nature-related risks and opportunities are expected to be identified, assessed
and disclosed in line with the TNFD.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION – CLIMATE-RELATED INFORMATION
This presentation may contain climate-related statements, including in relation to climate-related risks and opportunities, climate-related goals and ambitions, climate scenarios,
emissions reduction pathways and climate projections. While the Group has prepared the statements in good faith, climate-relatedstatements are subject to significant
uncertainty, challenges and risks that may affect their usefulness, accuracy and completeness, including:
1.Availability and reliability of data –emissions and climate-related data may be incomplete, inconsistent, unreliable or unavailable (including information from the Group’s
clients), and it may be necessary to rely on assumptions, estimates or proxies where that is the case.
2.Uncertain methodologies and modelling –methodologies, frameworks and standards used for calculations of climate-related metrics, modelling and climate data are not
universally applied, are rapidly evolving and subject to change. This may impact the data modelling, approaches, and targets used in preparation of this presentation.
3.Complexity of calculations and estimates –Estimating financed emissions (including allocating emissions to financing activities) and emissions reduction is complex andrelies
on assumptions and judgments, often made in respect of long periods of time.
4.Changes to climate-related governing frameworks -changes to climate-related policy, laws, regulations and market practices, standards and developments, including those
resulting from legal proceedings and regulatory investigations.
5.Lack of consistency in definitions and climate-science terminology subject to changes –definitions and standards for climate-related data and assessment frameworks used
across industries and jurisdictions may vary, and terminology and concepts relating to climate science and decarbonisation pathways may evolve and change over time.
These inconsistencies and changes can also make comparisons between different organisations’ climate targets and achievementsdifficult or inappropriate.
6.Reliance on third parties for data or involvement –the Group may need to rely on assistance, data or other information from external data and methodology providers or other
third parties, which may also be subject to change and uncertainty. Additionally, action and continuing participation of third parties, such as stakeholders, may be required
(including financial institutions and governmental and non-governmental organisations).
Due to these uncertainties, challenges and risks, statements, assumptions, judgments, calculations, estimates or proxies madeorused by the Group may turn out to be incorrect,
inaccurate or incomplete. You should conduct your own independent analysis and not rely on the information for investment decision-making. The information in this notice
should be read with the qualifications, limitations and guidance included throughout this presentation, as well as the:
