Yes Bank has committed to reducing its carbon footprint but has not yet established specific reduction targets or a net-zero commitment.

However, previous commitments have been removed or expired, indicating a need for clearer and more actionable climate goals.

The bank's ongoing efforts to address its carbon emissions will be crucial in aligning with global sustainability standards and responding to stakeholder expectations.
