Business Plan 2025-26

In 2024–25, AiB completed significant sustainability upgrades to its building, including the installation of LED lighting throughout and the addition of solar panels. As a result, the building’s energy efficiency rating improved dramatically—from a G rating to an A+.

In 2025–26, AiB will build on this success by working with the Scottish Government’s Internal Audit function to receive expert advice and guidance on best practices for planning our route to achieving Net Zero by 2045.

Corporate risks

Reputational risk

Failure to deliver sustainable environmental targets, including delivering into the Scottish Government Zero Carbon by 2045 policy proposals could result in reputational damage.

Organisational opportunity

AiB has the opportunity to improve its environmental responsibility by:

• collaborating and engaging with stakeholders, Scottish Government and other public bodies to identify best practices
• demonstrating leadership in sustainable public sector transformation
• reducing energy and resource consumption through smarter building management
• enhancing transparency and accountability through clear sustainability reporting
