Capitec Bank Limited's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Capitec Bank Holdings Limited

Capitec Bank Limited, headquartered in South Africa (ZA), currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. The bank's emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, Capitec Bank Holdings Limited, at a cascade level of 1. However, no specific figures or reduction targets have been provided in the available information. As a current subsidiary, Capitec Bank Limited is part of a broader corporate commitment to sustainability, although specific initiatives or targets related to carbon emissions reduction have not been disclosed. The absence of documented reduction initiatives or climate pledges indicates that the bank may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate commitments. In summary, while Capitec Bank Limited is linked to Capitec Bank Holdings Limited, which may have broader sustainability goals, there is currently no detailed emissions data or specific climate commitments available for Capitec Bank Limited itself.
