UNITED ARAB BANK's reported carbon emissions

In 2021, UNITED ARAB BANK reported carbon emissions of approximately 345,820 kg CO2e, all of which were classified under Scope 2, indicating emissions from purchased electricity. This marked a slight decrease from 2020, when emissions were about 355,270 kg CO2e, and from 2019, which recorded emissions of approximately 362,520 kg CO2e. Notably, the bank has not disclosed any Scope 1 or Scope 3 emissions during these years. Despite the reductions in Scope 2 emissions, UNITED ARAB BANK has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, nor have they committed to Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) reduction targets. The absence of formal commitments suggests a need for further action in addressing their overall carbon footprint and enhancing their climate strategy. Overall, while UNITED ARAB BANK has demonstrated a trend of decreasing emissions in recent years, the lack of comprehensive climate commitments highlights an opportunity for the bank to strengthen its environmental impact initiatives.
