Banco De Espana's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Banco de España reported no specific carbon emissions data, with no disclosed Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions. The organisation's emissions data for previous years also remains unspecified, indicating a lack of detailed reporting on their carbon footprint. Banco de España has not set any reduction targets or initiatives, as evidenced by the absence of documented reduction targets or commitments to frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This suggests that the bank is currently not engaged in formal climate pledges or structured emissions reduction strategies. The bank's climate-related disclosures, including weighted average carbon intensity figures, can be found in their annual reports, but these do not provide a comprehensive overview of their carbon emissions or climate commitments. As such, Banco de España appears to be in the early stages of addressing its climate impact and may need to enhance its reporting and commitment to sustainability practices in the future.
