Banktrack's reported carbon emissions
In 2021, Banktrack reported significant carbon emissions totalling approximately 287,900,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 45,600,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 83,800,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3. The Scope 3 emissions included various categories such as purchased goods and services (about 102,600,000,000 kg CO2e), employee commute (approximately 16,300,000,000 kg CO2e), and waste generated in operations (around 30,900,000,000 kg CO2e). Comparatively, emissions data from previous years shows a total of approximately 26,983,000 kg CO2e in 2018, with Scope 1 at about 1,017,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 6,014,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at around 19,952,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a substantial increase in emissions over the years, particularly in Scope 3 categories. Despite the extensive emissions data, Banktrack has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or commitments to frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The organisation's climate commitments remain vague, with no clear pledges or initiatives outlined. Overall, Banktrack's emissions profile reflects a significant carbon footprint, particularly in Scope 3 emissions, highlighting the need for targeted climate action and commitments to reduce their environmental impact.
