We were the first export credit agency, and, indeed, at COP28 last year, we also signed up to be a founding member of the Net-Zero Export Credit Agencies Alliance under the banner of GFANZ, so we are participating in that as well.
With our plans, we have been working on this since well before we made the commitment to net zero and have been taking the opportunity to reduce the carbon intensity of the portfolio we support. Included within that was stopping support for the international financing of fossil fuels.
I am pleased to announce we did set some targets to achieve that in the period from the 2018 baseline, and we have overachieved those. We have also gone with science-based targets to ensure we continue to look at the support we provide.
However, most importantly, which is really important for Canadian companies, we are there to help them on their journey and help them understand what they need to think about. It's not only the risks to their business models by the effects of climate action but how this represents opportunities for Canadian companies in the international sphere given the system of regulation in Canada, particularly around labour laws, and given the abundance of clean energy in Canada. These are all selling points for Canadian companies to now be part of international supply chains.
We ask companies to start focusing on scope 3 emissions. We want to ensure that Canadian companies can access that. To access that, they need to understand the advantages they have here at home. We're also working with them to help them promote their participation in international supply chains.
