Bank of India's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Bank of India reported total carbon emissions of approximately 28,624,400 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and about 77,539,900 kg CO2e from Scope 2. This reflects a slight decrease in emissions from the previous year, where Scope 1 emissions were around 26,912,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions were approximately 82,958,400 kg CO2e in 2024. Despite these figures, Bank of India has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of documented reduction strategies indicates a need for enhanced climate commitments within the banking sector, particularly as financial institutions increasingly focus on sustainability and carbon footprint reduction. Overall, while Bank of India has made some progress in reducing its emissions, the lack of formal targets suggests there is significant room for improvement in its climate strategy.
