Ing's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, ING reported total carbon emissions of approximately 6,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 8,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 14,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3, amounting to a total of about 28,000,000 kg CO2e. This reflects a significant reduction from previous years, where emissions in 2022 were approximately 8,000,000 kg CO2e (Scope 1), 9,000,000 kg CO2e (Scope 2), and 11,000,000 kg CO2e (Scope 3), totalling around 28,000,000 kg CO2e. ING has set ambitious targets to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. By 2020, the bank aimed for a 7% reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions from 2013 levels, alongside a more aggressive target of a 50% reduction in these scopes from 2014 levels. Additionally, ING is committed to reducing its exposure to coal to nearly zero by 2025, which aligns with its long-term climate strategy. The bank's climate commitments are further supported by its near-term targets, which cover 63% of its total investment and lending by financed emissions as of 2021. These targets are designed to be consistent with the reductions required to limit global warming to 1.5°C, demonstrating ING's commitment to sustainable finance and responsible investment practices.
