This reflects a commitment to tracking and managing their carbon footprint across various operational scopes. Over the years, M&T Bank has shown a trend of fluctuating emissions. For instance, in 2022, the total emissions were about 59,350,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 18,924,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at 40,426,000 kg CO2e. The bank's Scope 1 emissions have decreased from 22,098,000 kg CO2e in 2019 to 17,069,000 kg CO2e in 2023, indicating a positive shift towards reducing direct emissions. Despite these reductions, M&T Bank has not publicly committed to specific science-based targets or climate pledges, which may limit their ability to align with broader industry standards for climate action. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for enhanced strategies to further mitigate their environmental impact. Overall, M&T Bank's emissions data highlights their ongoing efforts to monitor and reduce carbon emissions, although further commitments could strengthen their climate strategy.
