Canadian Western Bank's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from National Bank of Canada

As of the latest reporting, Canadian Western Bank does not have specific carbon emissions data available, indicating a lack of disclosed figures for their Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. The bank is a merged entity and inherits its emissions performance data from its parent company, National Bank of Canada, at a cascade level of 1. Currently, Canadian Western Bank has not set any documented reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. This absence of specific targets suggests that the bank may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. In the context of the financial services industry, it is increasingly important for institutions like Canadian Western Bank to establish clear climate commitments and reduction initiatives to align with global sustainability goals. As the bank continues to develop its environmental strategy, stakeholders will be looking for future disclosures on emissions and climate action plans.
