Measuring Our Carbon Footprint
Addressing climate change continues to be a priority for Sunrise Banks.
That’s why we’ve committed to measuring the carbon emissions of our loan portfolio and operations. Sunrise Banks is measuring its financed emissions using the Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials (PCAF) framework, a system created by and for financial institutions to help them become more sustainable.
2025 Key Findings
Total portfolio financed emissions intensity decreased by 6.7%
Financed emissions intensities decreased in 3 out of 5 asset classes by 7% or more.
In 2025 we added tracking on two new emissions categories: Waste and Purchased Goods & Services.
We recategorized Project Finance to include only our Net Zero loans, with a financed emissions intensity of 4.75 tCO2e/$M. Net Zero Loans are a lever to make progress on our commitment to reach net zero emissions by 2050.
For the third consecutive year, we have increased the data quality and accuracy of our PCAF disclosure.

Creating a Greener Banking Sector
Sunrise Banks is a member of the Global Alliance for Banking on Values (GABV), an independent network of financial institutions committed to advancing positive change in the banking sector. We started measuring our carbon footprint as part of the Climate Change Commitment created by GABV.
Investing in the Future
A healthy environment means a healthy economy. We’re aiming to become carbon-neutral so that future generations can live productive and healthy lives. As a financial institution, we have an obligation to lower our emissions and work towards a greener, more sustainable future. We hope other banks follow suit to help ensure prosperity for generations to come.
