Cdb's reported carbon emissions
In 2024, CDB reported carbon emissions of approximately 458,550 kg CO2e, exclusively from Scope 1 emissions. This figure reflects the bank's direct emissions from its operations. In previous years, CDB has not disclosed any emissions data for 2023, 2022, or 2021, indicating a lack of transparency in its reporting during those periods. For 2021, CDB's emissions included 5,052,990 kg CO2e from both Scope 1 and Scope 2, with specific contributions of 82,790 kg CO2e from mobile combustion, 120,560 kg CO2e from stationary combustion, and 4,849,650 kg CO2e from purchased electricity. Additionally, Scope 3 emissions from business travel accounted for 451,550 kg CO2e. In 2020, the total emissions from Scope 1 and 2 were 2,886,610 kg CO2e. CDB has not set any specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor has it committed to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for enhanced climate action strategies. The emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organization, and all figures are reported directly by CDB. Overall, while CDB has made some disclosures regarding its emissions, the lack of comprehensive data and reduction commitments highlights an area for potential improvement in its climate strategy.
