East West Bank's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, East West Bank reported significant carbon emissions, with Scope 1 emissions totalling approximately 329,690 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions from purchased electricity reaching about 5,794,570 kg CO2e. This data reflects the bank's operations in the Philippines. The total emissions for the bank's global operations in 2022 included Scope 2 emissions of approximately 2,011,000 kg CO2e, indicating a focus on electricity consumption as a primary source of emissions. Despite these figures, East West Bank has not established specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The bank's emissions data is cascaded from its parent organisation, East West Bank, and does not include Scope 3 emissions, which are often significant in the financial sector. Overall, while East West Bank has made strides in reporting its emissions, it currently lacks defined climate commitments or reduction strategies, positioning it within an industry context that increasingly prioritises sustainability and carbon neutrality.
