This data reflects the bank's operational impact within India, where it generated revenue of about USD 5.44 billion. Looking ahead, the bank's emissions for 2024 are projected to increase, with Scope 1 emissions expected to reach approximately 35,296,130 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions around 195,643,450 kg CO2e, alongside a revenue increase to about USD 6.88 billion. Despite these figures, Canara Bank has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing its carbon footprint. The absence of documented climate pledges or science-based targets indicates a need for further commitment to sustainability practices. Overall, while Canara Bank's emissions data highlights its current environmental impact, the lack of clear reduction strategies suggests an opportunity for the bank to enhance its climate commitments and align with industry standards for sustainability.
