This data reflects a significant increase in emissions compared to 2022, where the bank reported no emissions in either Scope 1 or Scope 2 categories. For 2024, the bank has not disclosed specific emissions data but has provided emission intensity metrics, indicating a total Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions per rupee of turnover of about 1.89875e-11 kg CO2e and an employee-based emission intensity of approximately 6.158 kg CO2e. Currently, ESAF Small Finance Bank has not set any specific reduction targets or climate pledges, nor does it report any initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The emissions data is cascaded from the bank itself, as it operates as a current subsidiary without inherited targets from a parent organization. Overall, while ESAF Small Finance Bank has made strides in reporting its emissions, there is a clear opportunity for the bank to establish concrete climate commitments and reduction targets to enhance its sustainability profile.
