In today’s world, where environmental consciousness is on the rise, individuals are seeking ways to reduce their carbon footprint and embrace sustainable living. However, understanding the full extent of carbon emissions remains a challenge, especially when it comes to Scope 3 emissions.

Scope 3 emissions encompass indirect emissions that occur along the entire value chain, including those generated by suppliers, customers, and the use of products or services. Financial institutions have a unique opportunity to address Scope 3 emissions and empower their customers in this transition. By leveraging customer transaction data, banks can provide actionable insights that enable individuals to measure, understand, and reduce their carbon emissions comprehensively.
