Transition plan in this context is defined as a quantifiable and time-bound target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions set by an obligor or group mother. The percentage is based on year-end 2023 exposures and transition plans reported during 2023. Sectors in scope are those originally defined in 2020 as potentially vulnerable to climate transition and/or physical risks. Numbers are expected to fluctuate.
