FirstRand Bank Limited's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from FirstRand Limited

FirstRand Bank Limited, headquartered in South Africa (ZA), currently does not report specific carbon emissions data for the most recent year, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The bank is a current subsidiary of FirstRand Limited, which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. While FirstRand Bank Limited has not established specific reduction targets or initiatives, it is important to note that emissions data and performance metrics may be inherited from its parent company, FirstRand Limited. This relationship suggests that any climate commitments or emissions reductions may be aligned with the broader strategies of FirstRand Limited. As of now, FirstRand Bank Limited has not publicly committed to any specific climate pledges or initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). The lack of detailed emissions data and reduction targets indicates that the bank may still be in the early stages of developing its climate strategy. In summary, FirstRand Bank Limited's current climate commitments and carbon emissions data remain unspecified, with potential insights to be drawn from its parent company, FirstRand Limited.
