The bank's Scope 3 emissions included significant contributions from capital goods (2,191,000 kg CO2e), fuel and energy-related activities (1,084,000 kg CO2e), and employee commuting (379,000 kg CO2e).

Despite these figures, Aozora Bank has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments. The absence of SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets suggests that the bank may not yet have formalised its long-term climate strategy. Overall, Aozora Bank's emissions data reflects a considerable environmental impact, with a need for clearer commitments and reduction strategies to align with global climate goals.
