As of the latest available data, the Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP) has not disclosed specific carbon emissions figures for the years 2019, 2020, and 2021, indicating a lack of reported emissions data. Consequently, there are no defined Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions figures available for these years. DBP has not set any formal reduction targets or initiatives, nor have they made commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or similar climate pledges. This absence of specific climate commitments suggests that while the bank may be aware of the importance of addressing climate change, it has yet to establish measurable goals or publicly report on its carbon footprint. In the context of the banking industry, it is increasingly vital for financial institutions to engage in transparent reporting and set ambitious climate targets to align with global sustainability efforts. As DBP continues to develop its sustainability strategy, future disclosures may provide clearer insights into its carbon emissions and climate commitments.
