hummgroup has reported its FY26 greenhouse gas emissions and outlined plans to expand its green finance offerings to support the decarbonisation of its lending portfolio. The company’s FY26 Scope 1 and 2 emissions totalled 193.9 tCO₂-e, with 62.1 tCO₂-e attributed to Scope 1 and 131.8 tCO₂-e to Scope 2 emissions.
Material actions and disclosures
The Group’s emissions are measured in accordance with the principles and methodologies of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol: A Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard (2004). Scope 2 calculations use the National Greenhouse Accounts (NGA) state-based grid emission factors as well as available international grid factors from the NZ Ministry for the Environment, Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland, and the Environment and Climate Change Canada (location-based method).
hummgroup’s FY26 emissions data includes activities at its five corporate office locations in Sydney, Adelaide, Dublin, Auckland, and Toronto. The Group relocated its Sydney and Adelaide offices during the reporting period, and data for both the former and current office locations have been included for the relevant occupancy periods.
Forward commitments
The company aims to leverage its established sustainable finance capabilities to diversify and grow its lending portfolio. This includes expanding its green finance offerings by building on its Climate Bond Framework and experience in renewable energy financing. hummgroup plans to broaden the range of green finance products available to Consumer customers and extend financing solutions within the Commercial and Leasing segment to support SMEs as they invest in lower-emission technologies and equipment.
Examples of green finance products include financing for electric and low-emission vehicles, energy-efficient equipment, renewable energy technologies, and related infrastructure. By expanding these offerings, hummgroup seeks to strengthen customer relationships, access additional funding opportunities, and support sustainable long-term growth across its lending portfolio.
hummgroup’s approach to green finance is underpinned by its commitment to measuring and managing its greenhouse gas emissions. The company’s short loan duration profile enables relatively rapid portfolio rebalancing, reducing long-term exposure to high-emission assets and allowing hummgroup to progressively shift lending toward low- and zero-emission technologies as market conditions and policy settings evolve.
hummgroup’s efforts to decarbonise its lending portfolio are aligned with investor net-zero and ESG expectations, positioning the Group as a leader in the green transition and meeting growing demand for clean energy solutions in a low-carbon economy.
