Despite the detailed emissions data, Kings Town Bank has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for further development in their sustainability strategy. The bank's emissions per unit of revenue indicate a focus on minimising their carbon footprint relative to financial performance, with emissions of about 0.00235 kg CO2e per unit of revenue reported in 2019. Overall, while Kings Town Bank has made strides in emissions reporting, the lack of defined reduction targets highlights an area for potential growth in their climate strategy.
