In 2023, NAB reported total carbon emissions of approximately 40,479,380 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 60,354,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions at approximately 111,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions reaching about 65,515,000 kg CO2e. This reflects a significant commitment to transparency in their carbon footprint across all scopes. NAB's emissions data indicates a proactive approach to climate accountability, although specific reduction targets or initiatives have not been disclosed. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while NAB is tracking its emissions, it may not yet have formalised specific goals for reduction in line with industry standards. The bank's emissions have varied over the years, with notable figures from previous years including 60,829,000 kg CO2e in 2022 and 79,651,000 kg CO2e in 2021. This data highlights the importance of ongoing monitoring and potential areas for improvement in their sustainability practices. Overall, NAB's emissions reporting underscores its commitment to addressing climate change, although further clarity on reduction strategies would enhance its sustainability profile.
