In 2023, BayernLB reported total carbon emissions of approximately 2,128,000 kg CO2e, comprising 1,286,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 410,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 1,717,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This data reflects a consistent emission profile over recent years, with similar figures reported in 2022, 2021, 2020, and 2019. BayernLB has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing its carbon footprint. The absence of documented climate pledges or SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) commitments suggests that the bank may be in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. Overall, while BayernLB's emissions remain stable, the lack of defined reduction goals indicates an opportunity for the institution to enhance its climate commitments and align with industry standards for sustainability.
