In 2024, Atom Bank reported total carbon emissions of approximately 666,000 kg CO2e, comprising 18,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 648,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. Notably, within Scope 3, emissions from purchased goods and services accounted for about 264,000 kg CO2e. In 2023, the bank's emissions were slightly higher, with a total of approximately 688,000 kg CO2e, including 15,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 673,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3, where purchased goods and services contributed about 344,000 kg CO2e. Atom Bank has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments. The absence of Scope 2 emissions indicates a potential focus on direct and upstream emissions. The bank's reported carbon emissions per full-time equivalent (FTE) were approximately 1,310 kg CO2e in 2024 and 1,490 kg CO2e in 2023 for Scope 1, reflecting its operational impact. Overall, while Atom Bank has made strides in tracking its carbon footprint, further transparency regarding reduction strategies and commitments would enhance its climate action profile.
