In 2022, Deutsche Bundesbank reported a Weighted Average Carbon Intensity (WACI) of approximately 0.00143 kg CO2e per EUR of revenue, reflecting its operational carbon emissions. The previous year, 2021, showed a slightly higher WACI of about 0.00149 kg CO2e per EUR of revenue. However, specific absolute emissions data for Scope 1, 2, and 3 are not disclosed, indicating a lack of detailed emissions reporting. Currently, Deutsche Bundesbank has not set any formal reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. This absence of defined targets suggests that while the institution acknowledges its carbon footprint, it has yet to establish a structured approach to emissions reduction. As a central bank headquartered in Germany, Deutsche Bundesbank operates within a broader context of increasing climate awareness and regulatory pressure in the financial sector. The institution's commitment to sustainability may evolve as it aligns with national and international climate goals.
Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.
