Arbejdernes Landsbank's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Arbejdernes Landsbank reported total carbon emissions of approximately 13,000,000 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across various scopes: 173,000 kg CO2e (Scope 1), 563,000 kg CO2e (Scope 2, market-based), and 12,177,000 kg CO2e (Scope 3). The bank's Scope 3 emissions were primarily driven by purchased goods and services, which accounted for about 12,177,000 kg CO2e, alongside business travel emissions of 268,000 kg CO2e and waste generated in operations at 97,000 kg CO2e. In 2022, the bank's emissions were slightly lower, totalling around 15,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 131,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions at 593,000 kg CO2e (market-based), and Scope 3 emissions reaching approximately 15,977,000 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, Arbejdernes Landsbank has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of defined reduction strategies suggests a need for enhanced climate commitments within the banking sector, particularly in addressing Scope 3 emissions, which often represent the largest share of total emissions for financial institutions. Overall, while the bank has made strides in transparency regarding its emissions, further action and commitment to reduction targets would be beneficial in aligning with industry standards for climate responsibility.
