The bank's emissions in 2021 were reported at approximately 63,610,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions contributing significantly to this total. Despite these figures, QNB has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing its carbon footprint. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while the bank is aware of its emissions, it may not have formalised commitments to reduce them in line with industry standards or climate pledges. Overall, QNB's emissions data highlights the need for enhanced climate commitments and strategies to effectively manage and reduce its carbon footprint in the coming years.
