Access Holdings Plc has released  its Sustainability Report for the year ended 31 December 2025 on the Nigerian Exchange Limited, demonstrating how the group is translating sustainability commitments into measurable business, environmental and social outcomes. 

The report shows a green asset portfolio of N92.14 billion, a 28.47 per cent reduction in operational greenhouse gas emissions against its 2022 baseline and expanded access to finance for about 2.53 million low-income individuals.

The report reinforces the Group’s strategic shift from scale to value by showing how sustainability is being embedded in capital allocation, risk management, product development and operations. Access Bank Plc, the Group’s largest subsidiary, accounts for a significant portion of the reported outcomes. 

The green asset portfolio has grown from N22 billion in 2021 and N72.32 billion in 2024 to N92.14 billion at year-end 2025, advancing towards the Group’s long-term target of N475 billion. During the year, Access Holdings deployed N72.3 billion under its Sustainable Finance Framework to eligible environmentally beneficial projects and grew its cumulative sustainability-focused loan book to $1.269 billion.

The emissions reduction reported in 2025 reflects operational changes designed to lower the environmental footprint of the Group’s activities. Operational emissions fell to 49,352 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent from 57,176 tonnes in 2024, supported primarily by branch solarisation across 263 locations and the deployment of 323 solar-powered ATMs, largely across Access Bank in Nigeria.
