In 2023, Boligbank reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,062,000 kg CO2e, reflecting a significant increase from 2022's emissions of about 490,000 kg CO2e. This data encompasses Scope 1 and 2 emissions, but no specific breakdown into these categories is provided. The emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, Nykredit Asset Management A/S, indicating a corporate family relationship. Over the years, Boligbank's emissions have fluctuated, with 2021 reporting approximately 727,000 kg CO2e and 2020 at about 1,409,000 kg CO2e. The highest recorded emissions were in 2018, totalling around 3,980,000 kg CO2e, which included 90,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 2,909,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 981,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3. Despite these figures, Boligbank has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor does it participate in recognised climate pledges such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of defined reduction strategies suggests a need for enhanced climate commitments within the organisation.
