Freedom Bank Kazakhstan JSC's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Freedom Holding Corp.

Freedom Bank Kazakhstan JSC currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available, as indicated by the absence of reported figures. The bank is a current subsidiary of Freedom Holding Corp., which may influence its climate commitments and emissions reporting. As of now, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges from Freedom Bank Kazakhstan JSC. The absence of specific initiatives or targets suggests that the bank may still be in the early stages of developing its climate strategy. Given the lack of direct emissions data, it is essential to consider the broader context of the banking sector's increasing focus on sustainability and climate action. Many financial institutions are adopting frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and participating in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) to enhance transparency and accountability regarding their environmental impact. As Freedom Bank Kazakhstan JSC continues to align with its parent company, Freedom Holding Corp., it may eventually adopt similar climate commitments and reporting practices, contributing to a more sustainable financial future in Kazakhstan.
