Environmental and Carbon Footprint

Commitment

 
To build employee awareness of resource and energy conservation and to implement an effective environmental and resource management system to reduce environmental impact and carbon footprint, moving toward a green organization.

 
Materiality

 
Environmental issues and climate change are becoming increasingly severe, impacting lives, health and property on a wider scale. These issues cannot be solved or mitigated by any single individual or organization alone, but necessitate the genuine cooperation of all parties, including households, businesses and the government. The Bank prioritizes energy and resource conservation, reduction of our carbon footprint and comprehensive waste management. We have implemented various projects and activities to educate employees and encourage their participation in such areas. We hope that our actions taken will contribute to the nation’s overall development efforts, leading to sustainable solutions and the achievement of national environmental and climate goals. The Bank has announced its Net Zero goal for greenhouse gas emissions from its operations (Scope 1 and Scope 2) to be achieved by 2035, and from its lending and investment (Scope 3, Category 15) to be achieved by Thailand’s target year, 2050. This Sustainability Report focuses only on disclosures of Scope 1 and Scope 2. Details relating to Scope 3 will be disclosed in the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosure report on the Bank’s website.
