*51% absolute reduction in Scope 1 & Scope 2 GHG emissions by 2030/ Cumulative reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions: From 2017–18 baseline for Suncorp corporate operations in Australia and New Zealand. Suncorp previously published a target to reduce emissions intensity for our industrial operations (Suncorp Insurance Ventures).
