Standard Bank's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Standard Bank reported total carbon emissions of approximately 137,653,000 kg CO2e, which includes 18,560,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 119,093,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 15,999,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The bank has disclosed emissions data across all three scopes, highlighting its commitment to transparency in its climate impact. Despite the significant emissions figures, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives outlined by Standard Bank. The absence of documented reduction strategies suggests a need for the bank to establish clear climate commitments to align with industry standards and expectations for sustainability. Standard Bank's emissions intensity metrics indicate approximately 4,600 kg CO2e per employee and 240 kg CO2e per square metre of office space, reflecting the bank's operational footprint. As the financial sector increasingly prioritises climate action, Standard Bank's future commitments will be crucial in addressing its environmental impact and contributing to global sustainability efforts.
