In 2023, Suez Canal Bank reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,578,880 kg CO2e globally, with emissions distributed across various scopes: 839,880 kg CO2e from Scope 1, which includes direct emissions, and 739,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, covering indirect emissions from purchased electricity. The bank also disclosed Scope 3 emissions, primarily from investments, amounting to 1,951,708,080 kg CO2e, and fuel and energy-related activities contributing 153,305,170 kg CO2e. For the year 2022, the bank's emissions in Egypt were significantly lower, with Scope 1 emissions at 53,230 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at 46,770 kg CO2e. This indicates a focused effort on managing direct and indirect emissions within its operations. Despite these figures, Suez Canal Bank has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, nor does it participate in initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of documented reduction initiatives suggests a need for enhanced climate commitments in line with industry standards. Overall, while Suez Canal Bank has made strides in emissions reporting, the lack of defined reduction targets highlights an opportunity for the bank to strengthen its climate strategy and align with global sustainability goals.
