National Bank of Kenya Limited's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Access Bank PLC

National Bank of Kenya Limited, headquartered in Kenya (KE), currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available, as indicated by the absence of reported figures. The bank is a current subsidiary of Access Bank PLC, which may influence its climate commitments and performance metrics. However, no specific emissions data or reduction targets have been inherited from Access Bank PLC at this time. Despite the lack of detailed emissions data, National Bank of Kenya Limited's commitment to addressing climate change can be inferred through its affiliation with Access Bank PLC, which may have its own sustainability initiatives. The bank has not publicly disclosed any specific climate pledges or reduction targets, nor does it appear to participate in recognised frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). As the financial sector increasingly prioritises sustainability, National Bank of Kenya Limited may look to establish its own climate commitments and reduction strategies in the future, aligning with industry standards and expectations.
