City Bank's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, City Bank reported total carbon emissions of approximately 7,955,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 247,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which are direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, and 7,708,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, representing indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, steam, heating, and cooling. Additionally, the bank's Scope 3 emissions, which encompass all other indirect emissions, amounted to about 163,090 kg CO2e. Despite the significant emissions reported, there are currently no specific reduction targets or climate pledges outlined by City Bank. The absence of documented reduction initiatives suggests that the bank may be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. As the financial sector increasingly prioritises sustainability, City Bank's future commitments will be crucial in aligning with industry standards and addressing climate change effectively.
