The Scope 3 emissions for that year were significant, reaching about 4,626,000 kg CO2e, driven largely by purchased goods and services (approximately 3,033,000 kg CO2e) and business travel (around 1,167,000 kg CO2e).

Scope 3 emissions were notably high at around 268,000 kg CO2e, primarily due to business travel (approximately 114,000 kg CO2e) and employee commuting (about 148,000 kg CO2e). Despite the increasing trend in emissions, Forbright Bank has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at mitigating their carbon footprint. The absence of documented reduction strategies suggests a need for enhanced climate commitments within the organisation.
