Israel Discount Bank's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Israel Discount Bank reported total carbon emissions of approximately 23,645,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 1,422,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 21,569,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and 654,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The bank's emissions have shown a general trend of reduction over the years, with total emissions decreasing from about 26,947,000 kg CO2e in 2016 to the latest figure in 2023. In 2022, the bank's total emissions were approximately 18,637,000 kg CO2e, which indicates a significant reduction compared to previous years. The bank has consistently reported emissions across all three scopes, demonstrating transparency in its environmental impact. Despite these reductions, Israel Discount Bank has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives under frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of formal reduction targets suggests that while the bank is actively monitoring and reporting its emissions, it may not yet have established a comprehensive strategy for future reductions. Overall, Israel Discount Bank's emissions data reflects a commitment to tracking its carbon footprint, but further steps may be needed to formalise its climate commitments and reduction strategies.
