In 2023, DANSKE BANK reported total carbon emissions of approximately 9,292,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 and 2 emissions accounting for about 1,954,000 kg CO2e. This marks an increase from 2022, where total emissions were about 8,362,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 and 2 emissions at approximately 2,307,000 kg CO2e. The bank's emissions have fluctuated over the years, with a notable peak in 2020 at about 10,398,000 kg CO2e and a high of approximately 17,302,000 kg CO2e in 2019. DANSKE BANK has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, nor does it appear to have cascaded any targets from a parent organisation. The absence of detailed Scope 3 emissions data suggests a potential area for improvement in their climate strategy. The bank's emissions intensity in sectors such as steel and cement has been documented, indicating a focus on understanding its operational impact. Overall, while DANSKE BANK has made strides in tracking its emissions, the lack of defined reduction targets and initiatives may hinder its ability to effectively address climate change in the long term.
