In 2023, Ceská Sporitelna reported total carbon emissions of approximately 5.4 billion kg CO2e. This figure includes 2.1 million kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 15.0 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and about 5.4 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions, primarily driven by investments. The bank's emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, Erste Group Bank AG, which influences its sustainability strategies and reporting. Notably, Ceská Sporitelna has not set specific reduction targets under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other formal climate pledges, indicating a potential area for future commitment. Over the past few years, the bank's emissions have shown fluctuations, with a total of approximately 4.5 billion kg CO2e in 2022 and 4.6 billion kg CO2e in 2021. The absence of documented reduction initiatives suggests that while the bank is aware of its carbon footprint, it may need to enhance its climate action strategies to align with industry standards and stakeholder expectations.
