This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 36,798,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of approximately 7,584,000 kg CO2e (market-based). Additionally, Scope 3 emissions were significant, with business travel contributing about 38,426,000 kg CO2e, employee commute at approximately 56,028,000 kg CO2e, downstream leased assets at around 21,203,000 kg CO2e, and waste generated in operations at about 18,293,000 kg CO2e. Comparatively, in 2022, Bancorp's total emissions were approximately 156,194,000 kg CO2e, indicating an increase in emissions year-on-year. The breakdown for 2022 included Scope 1 emissions of about 38,206,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 9,902,000 kg CO2e (market-based), and Scope 3 emissions comprising business travel (about 23,206,000 kg CO2e), employee commute (approximately 55,642,000 kg CO2e), downstream leased assets (around 22,912,000 kg CO2e), and waste generated in operations (about 6,326,000 kg CO2e). Bancorp 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 company may not yet have formalised its long-term emissions reduction strategy. The emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organisation, indicating that these figures are solely representative of Bancorp's own operations. Overall, while Bancorp has made strides in reporting its emissions, the lack of reduction targets highlights an area for potential improvement in its climate strategy.
