Bank Of Japan's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, the Bank of Japan reported total carbon emissions of approximately 30,717,000 kg CO2e, comprising 2,923,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 3,952,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 30,717,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This reflects a slight decrease in Scope 1 emissions compared to previous years, while Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions remain significant. Over the years, the Bank of Japan's emissions have shown fluctuations. For instance, in 2022, total emissions were about 30,279,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 3,215,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at 4,386,000 kg CO2e. The highest recorded emissions were in 2019, with a total of approximately 34,779,000 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, the Bank of Japan has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. This places the institution in a broader context where many financial entities are increasingly focusing on sustainability and carbon neutrality commitments. Overall, while the Bank of Japan has made some progress in managing its emissions, the lack of formal reduction targets suggests there is room for improvement in its climate commitments.
