China Citic Bank's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, China Citic Bank reported total carbon emissions of approximately 152,909,410 kg CO2e. This figure includes about 56,480 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and approximately 3,107,180 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, primarily from purchased electricity. Over the years, the bank has shown a trend of fluctuating emissions. In 2022, emissions were about 158,529,100 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 45,120 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at around 3,488,540 kg CO2e.

Despite these figures, China Citic Bank has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. The bank's emissions data reflects its operational impact, but without defined goals, its long-term climate strategy remains unclear. Overall, while China Citic Bank has made strides in tracking its emissions, further commitments and reduction strategies would enhance its climate responsibility and align with global sustainability efforts.
