RBC's reported carbon emissions

RBC, headquartered in Canada, currently does not provide specific carbon emissions data for the most recent year, as no figures are available. Additionally, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges outlined in their initiatives. This lack of data suggests that RBC may still be in the process of establishing or publicly disclosing its climate commitments and emissions reduction strategies. As the financial sector increasingly prioritises sustainability, RBC's future initiatives may align with industry standards for climate action, including potential commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other frameworks aimed at reducing carbon footprints across Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions.
