Why we've created this hub

You have your reasons for wanting a more sustainable future. But with all the information out there on sustainability it can sometimes feel overwhelming. This hub will help you cut through the noise and focus on the things you can do that will make the biggest difference.

Travel

The way you travel shapes more than just your journey - it can affect your costs, the air around you and how you feel day to day.

Walking or cycling on shorter trips can be good for both you and the environment. A hybrid or electric car can help reduce emissions compared with petrol or diesel cars. Whatever the case, there are practical options available to you.

Energy

How you use energy in your home can be one of the most effective areas you can change.

Even simple switches like turning down your thermostat or installing LED lighting can make a difference. Lower energy use can also mean lower energy bills, depending on your usage and energy tariffs.

Nature and the environment

Looking after our environment can also support your own well being.

Spending more time outdoors, choosing active travel, reducing waste or being more mindful about what you buy can support your physical and mental wellbeing.

AIB and Sustainability

Helping build a more sustainable future is one of our priorities.

We are on our way, and by 2030, AIB Group aims that 70% of new lending will be for green or transition projects.

Through Your Steps to Sustainability, we’re sharing tools, resources and practical guidance to help you make informed choices - whatever your starting point.

We’ve grouped actions into three categories:

 Small, everyday actions - changes with little or no cost

 Medium steps - a bit more effort with the potential for greater impact

 Bigger lifestyle changes - longer-term decisions that can significantly reduce your footprint
