Nations Trust Bank PLC's reported carbon emissions

This marked a slight increase in emissions compared to previous years, with 2021 emissions recorded at about 2,142,000 kg CO2e. The bank has disclosed emissions data across all three scopes, indicating a commitment to transparency in its climate impact. However, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives outlined in their climate commitments. This lack of defined reduction strategies suggests that while the bank is monitoring its emissions, it may need to establish more concrete goals to align with industry standards for climate action. Overall, Nations Trust Bank PLC's emissions data reflects the ongoing challenges faced by financial institutions in managing their carbon footprint, particularly in Scope 2 emissions, which are often the largest contributor in the banking sector.
