Cathay General Bancorp's reported carbon emissions

Cathay General Bancorp currently does not have publicly available carbon emissions data or specific reduction targets outlined in their climate commitments. Without emissions figures, it is challenging to assess their carbon footprint or the scope of their emissions (Scope 1, 2, or 3). However, the absence of data does not preclude the company from engaging in climate initiatives or setting future targets. As the financial sector increasingly prioritises sustainability, Cathay General Bancorp may be expected to align with industry standards and best practices in climate action. Further information on their commitments or initiatives may be forthcoming as the company develops its sustainability strategy.
