This figure includes 282,770 kg CO2e from mobile combustion, 248,290 kg CO2e from fugitive emissions, and 87,780 kg CO2e from stationary combustion, with no reported Scope 2 emissions for that year. The bank's emissions have seen a significant reduction from previous years, with total emissions of about 2,155,920 kg CO2e in 2021 and 2,824,530 kg CO2e in 2020.

Despite these reductions, Banco General has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of formal commitments suggests that while the bank is making progress in reducing emissions, there may be opportunities for more structured climate action and accountability in the future.
