In 2022, Laurentian Bank of Canada reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,097,000 kg CO2e, which includes 130,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and 967,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. Additionally, the bank's Scope 3 emissions, specifically from business travel, amounted to about 399,000 kg CO2e. This data reflects a slight increase in emissions compared to 2021, when total emissions were approximately 1,066,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 83,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions at 983,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions from business travel at 122,000 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, Laurentian Bank has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. There are no documented SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets or other formal climate pledges. The bank's emissions data is not cascaded from a parent company, indicating that it operates independently in its reporting and climate strategy. Overall, while Laurentian Bank of Canada has made strides in emissions reporting, it currently lacks defined reduction goals or significant climate initiatives to address its carbon footprint.
