Synovus's reported carbon emissions

In 2022, Synovus reported total carbon emissions of approximately 23,328,000 kg CO2e, comprising 3,569,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 19,758,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. This marked a notable increase in Scope 1 emissions compared to previous years, where in 2021, they were about 2,180,000 kg CO2e, and in 2020, approximately 1,376,000 kg CO2e. The company's Scope 2 emissions have shown some fluctuation, with 2021 reporting about 23,684,000 kg CO2e and 2020 at approximately 23,088,000 kg CO2e. Overall, Synovus's emissions data indicates a complex trajectory in their carbon footprint management. Despite these figures, there are currently no specific reduction targets or climate pledges disclosed by Synovus, which suggests a need for clearer commitments in line with industry standards for climate action. The absence of defined reduction initiatives may impact their long-term sustainability goals and alignment with global climate objectives.
