Scotiabank Addresses Climate Change by Establishing an Internal Carbon Price

As part of our commitment to the Carbon Pricing Leadership Coalition, we implemented an internal carbon price in 2018. After

global Scope 1 and 2 emissions. This allowed us to fairly compare projects that required higher upfront costs (but delivered longer-term energy savings), with those that were more cost-effective but short-term solutions.
