OneSavings Bank plc's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from OSB Group Plc

OneSavings Bank plc, headquartered in Great Britain, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. The bank is a current subsidiary of OSB Group Plc, which may influence its climate commitments and emissions reporting. As of now, OneSavings Bank plc has not outlined any specific reduction targets or initiatives related to carbon emissions. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that the bank is still in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. The emissions data and climate commitments may be inherited from its parent company, OSB Group Plc, which is responsible for setting broader sustainability goals. However, without specific figures or targets from OSB Group Plc, it is challenging to provide a detailed overview of OneSavings Bank plc's carbon footprint or climate action plans. In summary, OneSavings Bank plc is currently working within the framework established by OSB Group Plc, but lacks publicly available emissions data and defined reduction initiatives at this time.
