This reflects a significant commitment to transparency in their emissions reporting. Comparatively, in 2022, the bank's emissions were approximately 14,555,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 35,862,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 4,770,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3. This indicates a notable increase in Scope 3 emissions, particularly in business travel and employee commuting. Yapi Kredi has set near-term targets aligned with a 1.5°C pathway, covering 29% of its total investment and lending by total assets as of 2021. These targets are designed to ensure that emissions from company operations (Scopes 1 and 2) are consistent with the reductions required to limit global warming. However, the bank has not committed to a net-zero target as of now. The bank's emissions data is independently reported and does not cascade from a parent organization, ensuring that their commitments and performance are reflective of their own operations. Yapi Kredi continues to engage in initiatives aimed at reducing its carbon footprint while maintaining transparency in its emissions reporting.
