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.
