Seylan Bank PLC's reported carbon emissions

In 2024, Seylan Bank PLC reported an employee-related carbon emission of approximately 1,390 kg CO2e per employee. However, the bank has not disclosed specific data for Scope 1, Scope 2, or Scope 3 emissions, nor has it set any formal reduction targets or climate pledges. Seylan Bank's emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organisation, indicating that the figures are solely representative of its own operations. The bank's commitment to addressing climate change remains unclear, as there are no documented reduction initiatives or targets available at this time. As a financial institution headquartered in Sri Lanka (LK), Seylan Bank PLC is positioned within an industry increasingly focused on sustainability and carbon footprint reduction, yet it currently lacks specific commitments or measurable goals in this area.
