Sector Benchmark
Note: Latest GHG and revenue data (based on tradingview.com) are used to calculate GHG emissions intensity by sector. The color scale of each bubble depends on the GHG intensity (GHG emissions per 1 million USD revenue). Sectors follow the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS) that organize companies based on their primary business activities. The 11 sectors are : Information Technology, Health Care, Financials, Consumer Discretionary, Communication Services, Industrials, Consumer Staples, Energy, Utilities, Real Estate, and Materials.
NatWest Group belongs to the sector Financials.

Last update for NatWest Group by zerotracker.net: June 28, 2026| Planning to use external offset credits | Yes |

| Plans for carbon dioxide removal (CDR) | No |
Additional notes: The SBTi recommends that companies invest to mitigate emissions beyond their value chain while they transition towards a state of net-zero emissions. In accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, our absolute emission reductions of 70% for Scope 1 and Scope 2, 50% for Scope 3 and 90% for all operational emissions by 2050 are not achieved through the use of carbon credits. Climate-related Disclosures Report 2023 page 41: "For our own operations, net zero means aiming to reduce our operational value chain by a minimum 90% reduction by 2050 against a 2019 baseline. We plan to neutralise the residual 10% using carbon credits in line with ‘SBTi Corporate Net Zero Standard’ released in October 2021" Pg. 43: Carbon Credits: In 2023, we retired 120,000 nature-based carbon removal credits. The project is assured under the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) and Triple Gold certified to the Climate, Community & Biodiversity Alliance Standards (CCBA) to invest beyond our value chain. The project generates carbon removal credits from increased sequestration of carbon in the soil through sustainable grazing patterns in partnership with communities in grassland areas. The project measures impact using the Tool for the Demonstration and Assessment of Additionality in VCS’s Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use project activities, estimates project ecological leakage and assesses risk using monitoring and compensation(5).
