In 2022, Metro Bank reported total carbon emissions of approximately 40,087,000 kg CO2e, comprising 147,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 39,940,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. This reflects a slight decrease from 2021, when total emissions were about 33,546,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 149,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at 33,397,000 kg CO2e. In 2020, the bank's emissions were significantly higher at approximately 27,921,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 371,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at 27,549,000 kg CO2e. Metro Bank has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of Scope 3 emissions data indicates a potential area for future reporting and improvement. The bank's emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organization, indicating that it operates independently in its sustainability reporting. Overall, while Metro Bank has made some progress in reducing its carbon footprint, further commitments and transparency regarding its climate strategy could enhance its sustainability profile.
