BPER Banca, a financial intermediation services provider headquartered in Italy, reported a total of approximately 1.1 million kg CO2e in emissions for 2023. This figure comprises Scope 1 emissions of about 181,700 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of approximately 29,430 kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions for the same year amounted to roughly 912,000 kg CO2e.

BPER Banca has established several climate commitments and reduction targets. The Group aims to reduce its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 30% by 2030, using 2021 as a baseline. Additionally, in alignment with the Net-Zero Banking Alliance (NZBA), BPER Banca has set Science Based Targets, aiming for a 23% reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2025 and a 50% reduction by 2030. The bank also has targets for the "BAU scenario" (Business as Usual), indicating a goal of about 40% emission reduction by 2030 compared to 2005 levels for both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. Furthermore, BPER Banca is working towards achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, as envisioned by the European climate law. BPER Banca's emissions data is not cascaded from a parent organisation; it manages its own reporting. The company discloses data for Scopes 1, 2, and 3, and has data for upstream and downstream categories. Emissions intensity is also reported per square metre and per employee.
