Banco Montepio's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Banco Montepio reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,397,962 tonnes CO2e. This figure includes 17,399,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 1,377,962,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and 16,327,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The bank has shown a significant increase in emissions over the years, with Scope 2 emissions being the largest contributor. Despite the rising emissions, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives disclosed by Banco Montepio. The absence of documented reduction strategies suggests a need for enhanced climate commitments within the banking sector, particularly in light of increasing global climate concerns. Banco Montepio's emissions data highlights the importance of addressing carbon footprints, especially in Scope 2, which typically encompasses indirect emissions from purchased electricity, steam, heating, and cooling. As the financial industry faces growing scrutiny regarding sustainability practices, establishing clear reduction targets will be crucial for Banco Montepio to align with global climate goals.
