Tangerine Bank, headquartered in Canada, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. The bank's climate commitments and reduction initiatives are not explicitly outlined, indicating a potential area for development in their sustainability strategy. As a current subsidiary of The Bank of Nova Scotia, Tangerine Bank's climate performance and initiatives may be influenced by its parent company's policies and targets. The emissions data and reduction targets are cascaded from The Bank of Nova Scotia, which may provide a broader context for Tangerine's environmental impact.

As the financial sector increasingly prioritises climate action, Tangerine Bank may benefit from establishing clear emissions reduction goals and participating in initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) to demonstrate its commitment to addressing climate change.
