Zenith Bank's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Zenith Bank reported total carbon emissions of approximately 43,690 kg CO2e, with significant contributions from Scope 2 emissions, primarily from purchased electricity, which accounted for about 35,300 kg CO2e. Additionally, Scope 3 emissions were also reported at the same total of 43,690 kg CO2e, indicating a comprehensive approach to tracking indirect emissions. Comparatively, in 2022, the bank's emissions were about 19,870 kg CO2e, with Scope 2 emissions from purchased electricity reaching approximately 53,140 kg CO2e and Scope 3 emissions also at 19,870 kg CO2e. This reflects a notable increase in emissions from 2022 to 2023. Zenith Bank has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing its carbon footprint, nor has it committed to any science-based targets. The absence of documented reduction strategies suggests a need for enhanced climate action within the organisation. Overall, while Zenith Bank is actively monitoring its emissions, the lack of clear reduction commitments highlights an opportunity for the bank to strengthen its climate strategy and contribute more effectively to global sustainability efforts.
