In 2023, the bank's global emissions were significantly higher, totalling about 688,222,300 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 15,749,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at 3,228,000 kg CO2e. The vast majority of emissions stemmed from Scope 3, particularly from purchased goods and services, which accounted for approximately 682,299,780 kg CO2e. Fidelity Bank PLC has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, indicating a potential area for future commitment. The absence of SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets suggests that the bank may need to enhance its climate strategy to align with industry standards. Overall, while Fidelity Bank PLC has made strides in reporting its emissions, the lack of defined reduction initiatives may limit its effectiveness in addressing climate change. The bank's emissions data is not cascaded from a parent company, ensuring that its reported figures are independently sourced.
