However, the bank has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, which may limit its ability to effectively address climate change impacts. The bank's emissions intensity, measured against its revenue, reflects its operational efficiency in relation to carbon output. As HLB continues to navigate its sustainability journey, the absence of defined reduction targets may present challenges in aligning with global climate goals.
