Brazil’s Banco Bradesco has just announced it aims to decarbonize its credit and investment portfolios by 2050, or possibly before, in accordance with scientific forecasts and Paris Agreement climate goals.

In a securities filing, the bank also said it is the first Brazilian bank to join the Net-Zero Banking Alliance, an industry body under the auspices of the United Nations committed to “aligning their lending and investment portfolios with net-zero emissions by 2050.”

Bradesco said this reinforces its commitment to ESG goals and transitioning to a “cleaner, more efficient and resilient economy.”
