Specifically, Scope 1 emissions were about 8,494,000 kg CO2e, while Scope 2 emissions totalled approximately 197,089,000 kg CO2e. The majority of emissions stemmed from Scope 3, amounting to around 100,640,000,000 kg CO2e, which includes investments (approximately 100,538,098,000 kg CO2e), employee commuting (about 81,787,000 kg CO2e), and business travel (approximately 11,336,000 kg CO2e). In 2023, PNB's emissions were slightly lower, with total emissions of about 96,107,000,000 kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were reported at approximately 7,866,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions were around 208,860,000 kg CO2e. The Scope 3 emissions for that year were approximately 96,106,674,000 kg CO2e, primarily driven by investments. Despite these substantial emissions figures, PNB has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor have they disclosed any climate pledges. The bank's emissions data is not cascaded from a parent company, indicating that these figures are independently reported by Punjab National Bank. Overall, while PNB has made strides in transparency regarding its emissions, the absence of defined reduction targets highlights an area for potential improvement in its climate commitments.
