Sustainability
Flagstar cares about our environmental footprint. In 2021, we completed an inventory of our Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions using 2019 as a baseline. Flagstar’s GHG Inventory collects and reports Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. We will add Scope 3 emissions to the inventory at a later date. The GHG inventory consists of the following emissions sources:
Scope 1 — Direct GHG emission sources
- Stationary fuel combustion
o Facility heating
o Emergency equipment
- Mobile fuel combustion
o Company-owned/leased vehicles
- Fugitives
o GHG based A/C systems
Scope 2 — Indirect emission sources
- Purchased electricity
- At present, Scope 2 location-based and market-based emissions are the same. We will make updates as we investigate and enter into power purchase agreements.
Flagstar Bank will use the GHG Inventory to:
- Demonstrate environmental leadership
- Identify opportunities to mitigate direct and indirect GHG emissions
- Use data to identify current and future trends and benchmark progress
- Assist the Board and Staff in decision-making
We are currently working with our facilities team to set Scope 1 and 2 emissions reduction targets and identify the appropriate emissions reduction activities.
