Eastern Bank's reported carbon emissions

In 2024, Eastern Bank reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,391,000,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 762,324,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which are direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, and 17,200,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, representing indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity. Notably, the bank's Scope 3 emissions, which encompass all other indirect emissions, also totalled approximately 1,391,000,000 kg CO2e. Comparatively, in 2023, Eastern Bank's total emissions were about 1,346,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 632,804,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions remaining consistent at 17,200,000 kg CO2e. The significant increase in total emissions from 2023 to 2024 indicates a rise in operational activities or changes in business practices. Despite these figures, Eastern Bank has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. The emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organisation, ensuring that the reported figures are solely reflective of Eastern Bank's own operations. As the bank continues to navigate its environmental impact, it remains crucial for Eastern Bank to establish clear climate commitments and reduction strategies to align with industry standards and expectations.
