Despite the detailed emissions data, Axis Bank has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. This indicates a potential area for growth in their sustainability strategy, as setting measurable reduction targets is crucial for aligning with global climate goals. Overall, Axis Bank's commitment to transparency in emissions reporting is evident, but further action towards defined reduction targets could enhance their climate strategy.
