In 2024, Laurentian Bank of Canada reported its carbon emissions for the Canadian region, totalling approximately 75000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 emissions, 682000 kg CO2e for Scope 2 emissions (location-based), and 583000 kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions related to business travel. This reflects a slight decrease in Scope 1 emissions from 76000 kg CO2e in 2023, while Scope 2 emissions decreased from 692000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions increased from 465000 kg CO2e in the same year. The bank's total emissions for 2023 were approximately 76000 kg CO2e (Scope 1), 692000 kg CO2e (Scope 2), and 465000 kg CO2e (Scope 3). In 2022, the emissions were higher, with Scope 1 at 130000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 967000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 399000 kg CO2e. This indicates a trend towards reducing Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions over the past two years. Despite these figures, Laurentian Bank has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, nor does it appear to have cascaded data from a parent organization. The bank's emissions data is independently reported, and it has not disclosed any significant climate pledges or initiatives aimed at further reducing its carbon footprint. Overall, while Laurentian Bank of Canada has made some progress in reducing its emissions, particularly in Scope 1 and Scope 2 categories, it lacks formal reduction targets or commitments to guide future efforts.
