The breakdown for 2022 shows Scope 1 emissions at approximately 1,114,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at about 11,906,000 kg CO2e, while Scope 3 emissions were around 2,828,000,000 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, Bank of Cyprus has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. The bank's emissions intensity metrics for Scope 3 indicate a value of 0.589 kg CO2e per unit of revenue in 2023, reflecting its operational impact relative to financial performance. Overall, while Bank of Cyprus has made strides in measuring its carbon footprint, the lack of defined reduction targets suggests an opportunity for further commitment to climate action.
