Riyad Bank's reported carbon emissions

As of the latest available data, Riyad Bank has not disclosed specific carbon emissions figures for the years 2021 and 2022, indicating a lack of reported emissions in kg CO2e across all scopes (Scope 1, 2, and 3). Despite the absence of concrete emissions data, the bank is likely aware of the growing importance of climate commitments within the financial sector. Riyad Bank's revenue for 2021 was approximately USD 2.85 billion, which increased to about USD 3.28 billion in 2022. However, without specific emissions data or reduction targets, it is challenging to assess their carbon footprint or climate impact accurately. The bank has not outlined any formal reduction initiatives or targets, such as those aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), nor have they made any public climate pledges. This context highlights the need for Riyad Bank to enhance transparency regarding its environmental impact and to establish measurable climate commitments in line with industry standards.
