In 2023, Banco de España reported a weighted average carbon intensity of approximately 0.00627 kg CO2e per EUR of revenue, with total emissions data not specified. This follows a similar trend in previous years, with 2022 showing a carbon intensity of about 0.00628 kg CO2e per EUR, 2021 at approximately 0.00624 kg CO2e per EUR, 2020 at about 0.00615 kg CO2e per EUR, and 2019 at around 0.00604 kg CO2e per EUR. Banco de España has not disclosed specific Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions data, nor has it set any formal reduction targets or climate pledges. The absence of documented reduction initiatives indicates a potential area for future commitment. The emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organization, and all figures are derived directly from Banco de España's own reporting. Overall, while Banco de España has demonstrated a consistent approach to measuring carbon intensity, it currently lacks explicit climate commitments or reduction targets, which may be necessary for aligning with industry standards and expectations.
