The increase in Scope 3 emissions highlights the need for enhanced sustainability measures. Yes Bank has committed to reducing its carbon footprint but has not yet established specific reduction targets or a net-zero commitment. The bank's near-term target status is currently marked as "Committed," with a deadline for target submission set for July 31, 2023. However, previous commitments have been removed or expired, indicating a need for clearer and more actionable climate strategies. Overall, Yes Bank's emissions data reflects the challenges faced by financial institutions in managing their carbon impact, particularly in Scope 3 emissions, which often represent the largest share of total emissions. The bank's ongoing efforts to address these challenges will be crucial in aligning with global climate goals.
