In 2022, NewBank reported total carbon emissions of approximately 17,994,000 kg CO2e. This marked an increase from 2021, when emissions were about 13,964,000 kg CO2e, and from 2020, which saw emissions of around 17,031,000 kg CO2e. The data does not specify emissions by scope (Scope 1, 2, or 3), indicating a lack of detailed breakdown. NewBank has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming to reduce its Scope 1 emissions to near zero by 2025. Similarly, the bank has pledged to achieve near-zero Scope 2 emissions within the same timeframe. These targets reflect a proactive approach to addressing climate change and align with industry standards for sustainability. As of now, there are no specific targets set under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), and the emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organisation. NewBank's commitment to reducing its carbon footprint demonstrates its dedication to environmental responsibility and aligns with global efforts to combat climate change.
Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.
