In 2023, Bank OZK reported total carbon emissions of approximately 24,400,000,000 kg CO2e, with emissions primarily from Scope 3 sources. Specifically, Scope 1 emissions were recorded at about 61,400 kg CO2e. The breakdown of Scope 3 emissions includes significant contributions from purchased goods and services (approximately 22,316,742,000 kg CO2e), upstream transportation and distribution (around 1,994,595,000 kg CO2e), and the use of sold products (approximately 61,493,000 kg CO2e). Despite the substantial emissions figures, Bank OZK has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The absence of reduction targets suggests a need for further development in their sustainability strategy. The emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organisation, indicating that it is independently reported by Bank OZK. Overall, while Bank OZK's emissions profile highlights significant areas for improvement, the lack of defined reduction strategies may limit their effectiveness in addressing climate change impacts.
