TSB shows basic operational carbon management but critical gaps in financed emissions disclosure and supply chain accountability. The bank claims SBTi alignment but hasn't validated targets in four years. Biodiversity and nature risk are entirely absent from strategy. A £36B lending book with no quantified Scope 3 reporting is indefensible.
