This figure includes 1,115,210 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, primarily from mobile combustion, and 58,530 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, which are location-based. Additionally, Scope 3 emissions totalled about 500,420 kg CO2e, with significant contributions from business travel (425,100 kg CO2e). Comparatively, in 2023, Rabobank's total emissions were about 1,990,070 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 1,037,780 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at 55,030 kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions for that year reached approximately 947,250 kg CO2e, again largely driven by business travel (892,950 kg CO2e). Rabobank's emissions have shown a notable reduction from 2022, when total emissions were reported at 58,122,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 19,754,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at 26,604,000 kg CO2e. The significant drop in emissions from 2022 to 2023 indicates a positive trend towards reducing their carbon footprint. Despite these reductions, Rabobank has not publicly committed to specific science-based targets (SBTi) or documented reduction initiatives. The organisation's emissions data is not cascaded from any parent company, ensuring that the figures reflect its independent operations. Rabobank continues to focus on sustainability and climate commitments, aligning with industry standards for carbon management.
