Deutsche Bank's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Deutsche Bank reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,331,335,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 18,735,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 26,079,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and a significant 1,286,521,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The Scope 3 emissions are primarily driven by purchased goods and services, which accounted for about 1,008,603,000 kg CO2e. In 2022, Deutsche Bank's total emissions were approximately 1,290,722,000 kg CO2e, showing a reduction from the previous year. The bank's emissions have decreased significantly from 2,281,957,000 kg CO2e in 2019 to the latest figure in 2023, indicating a positive trend in their carbon footprint management. Despite these reductions, Deutsche Bank has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other formal climate pledges. The absence of defined reduction targets suggests that while the bank is making progress in reducing emissions, it may need to establish clearer commitments to align with global climate goals. Overall, Deutsche Bank's emissions data reflects a commitment to reducing its carbon footprint, although further transparency regarding specific reduction strategies and targets would enhance its climate commitment profile.
