Public Bank Group's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Public Bank Group reported total carbon emissions of approximately 64,063,000 kg CO2e, comprising 2,891,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 61,172,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 23,160,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3. This represents a significant increase in emissions compared to previous years, with total emissions of about 20,226,000 kg CO2e in 2021 and approximately 23,150,576 kg CO2e in 2020. The bank's emissions profile shows a notable reliance on Scope 2 emissions, which accounted for the majority of their total emissions in 2023. Despite the increase in overall emissions, there are no specific reduction targets or initiatives disclosed by Public Bank Group, indicating a potential area for improvement in their climate commitments. Public Bank Group's emissions intensity metrics indicate a trend towards higher emissions per employee and revenue, with values of 4,400 kg CO2e per employee and 3,400 kg CO2e per USD of revenue reported in 2023. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that the bank may need to enhance its climate strategy to align with industry standards and expectations for sustainability.
