The Scope 1 emissions breakdown reveals that mobile combustion accounted for about 1,885,000 kg CO2e, while fugitive emissions contributed approximately 1,258,000 kg CO2e, and stationary combustion added around 426,000 kg CO2e. Comparatively, in 2021, Synovus's total emissions were about 25,864,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 2,180,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at approximately 23,684,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a reduction in total emissions from 2021 to 2022. Despite these figures, Synovus has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of Scope 3 emissions data suggests a potential area for future reporting and commitment. Overall, Synovus's emissions data reflects a commitment to transparency, although further details on reduction strategies would enhance their climate action narrative.
