Ulster Bank's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Ulster Bank reported significant carbon emissions, totalling approximately 711,704,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 174,041,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 450,546,400 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This marked a substantial increase in emissions compared to previous years, with 2022 figures showing 16,797,400 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 227,800 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 17,025,200 kg CO2e for Scope 3. The bank's emissions have fluctuated over the years, with Scope 1 emissions rising from 947,000 kg CO2e in 2018 to 1,111,000 kg CO2e in 2019, before experiencing a dramatic increase in 2022 and 2023. Notably, Scope 2 emissions decreased from 4,150,000 kg CO2e in 2018 to 3,441,000 kg CO2e in 2019, but again saw a rise in 2023. Despite these figures, there are currently no specific reduction targets or climate pledges outlined by Ulster Bank. The absence of documented reduction initiatives suggests a need for enhanced climate commitments in line with industry standards. As the bank continues to assess its carbon footprint, it remains crucial for Ulster Bank to establish clear strategies for reducing its emissions across all scopes to align with global climate goals.
