Credit Suisse AG's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from UBS Group AG

As of the latest available data, Credit Suisse AG does not report specific carbon emissions figures, indicating a lack of recent emissions data. The organisation is classified as a merged entity and inherits its climate commitments and performance metrics from its parent company, UBS Group AG, at a cascade level of 2. Credit Suisse AG has not outlined specific reduction targets or initiatives in its own reporting. However, it is important to note that its climate commitments may be influenced by the broader sustainability strategies of UBS Group AG, which includes participation in initiatives such as the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) and RE100. These initiatives aim to enhance transparency and promote renewable energy usage, respectively. In summary, while Credit Suisse AG currently lacks specific emissions data and defined reduction targets, its climate commitments are likely aligned with those of UBS Group AG, reflecting a commitment to addressing climate change within the financial sector.
