BNP Paribas Fortis SA's reported carbon emissions

In 2024, BNP Paribas Fortis SA reported total carbon emissions of approximately 22,096,670,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 9,059,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (location-based) of approximately 29,151,000 kg CO2e, and significant Scope 3 emissions totalling around 51,101,021,000 kg CO2e, which includes business travel emissions of about 15,094,000 kg CO2e. Despite the substantial emissions reported, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives disclosed by BNP Paribas Fortis. The absence of documented climate pledges or Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) commitments suggests that the organisation may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. As the financial services industry increasingly prioritises sustainability, BNP Paribas Fortis will likely need to enhance its climate commitments to align with global standards and expectations.
