In 2023, Banco Bci reported total carbon emissions of approximately 13,365,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 395,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which consist of direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, and 10,567,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions, which encompass indirect emissions from the value chain. Notably, the largest contributors to Scope 3 emissions were employee commuting (about 8,096,000 kg CO2e) and business travel (approximately 1,156,000 kg CO2e). Comparatively, in 2022, the bank's total emissions were about 12,574,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 599,000 kg CO2e and Scope 3 emissions at 8,760,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a slight increase in total emissions from 2022 to 2023. Banco Bci's emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, Banco de Crédito e Inversiones, reflecting a corporate family relationship. However, the bank has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges, indicating a potential area for future commitment. Overall, while Banco Bci has made strides in reporting its emissions, the absence of defined reduction targets suggests that further action may be necessary to align with global climate goals.
