In 2021, The National Bank of Bahrain B.S.C. reported a greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions intensity of approximately 14,630 kg CO2e per employee, reflecting its operational impact. This figure represents Scope 1 emissions, as no data for Scope 2 or Scope 3 emissions has been disclosed. The bank's emissions data for previous years shows a GHG emissions intensity of about 11,060 kg CO2e per employee in 2020 and approximately 12,860 kg CO2e per employee in 2019. This indicates a fluctuating trend in emissions intensity over the three years, with a notable increase from 2020 to 2021. Currently, The National Bank of Bahrain B.S.C. has not set any specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor does it participate in recognised climate pledges such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of formal commitments suggests that the bank may be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. As of now, there is no cascaded emissions data from a parent or related organisation, indicating that the bank's reported figures are solely its own. The National Bank of Bahrain B.S.C. continues to assess its environmental impact and may consider future commitments to enhance its sustainability efforts.
