About ABN AMRO

ABN AMRO Bank N.V. is a Dutch state-owned bank with headquarters in Amsterdam. Its origins date back to 1824. It was re-established, in its current form, in 2009 following the acquisition and break up of ABN AMRO Group by a banking consortium consisting of Royal Bank of Scotland Group, Santander and Fortis. ABN AMRO serves retail, private and commercial banking customers in the Netherlands and to a lesser extent in other markets, where it prioritises serving Dutch companies doing business abroad. It is also active internationally in areas where it claims to have substantial expertise, such as Energy, Commodities & Transportation (ECT) and ABN AMRO Clearing. Its private banking activities are focused on the Netherlands, Europe and Asia.

Explanation

Total: 12 points out of 32

4 points for a moderate exclusion of coal power projects: ABN AMRO prohibits direct finance for new coal-fired power plants.

4 points for a weak exclusion of companies expanding coal power (coal power developers): ABN AMRO requires utility clients to commit not to increase coal-fired electricity generation capacity. But the policy applies only to utilities, and many companies building new coal-fired power are not traditional utilities.

1 point for the commitment to proportionally reduce exposure to coal power companies: ABN AMRO has committed to reduce the share of coal in the mix of electricity generation capacity of its lending portfolio of companies and projects in the power generation sector, but has no explicit commitment to phase out financing for coal power companies.

3 points for a weak exclusion threshold for coal power companies: ABN AMRO prohibits financing for companies with greater than 50% power generation capacity from coal, with additional restrictions on companies between 30 and 50%.
