In 2024, the European Investment Bank (EIB) reported total carbon emissions of approximately 280,000,000 kg CO2e. For the previous year, 2023, the EIB disclosed emissions across all three scopes: 22,000 kg CO2e (Scope 1), 4,251,000 kg CO2e (Scope 2), and 17,978,000 kg CO2e (Scope 3). This data indicates a comprehensive approach to emissions reporting, with significant contributions from Scope 3 emissions, which typically encompass indirect emissions from the value chain. The EIB has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming for a 50% reduction in absolute greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, using 2020 as the baseline. This target applies to both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, reflecting a strong commitment to decarbonisation. The bank's initiatives are not cascaded from any parent organisation, indicating that these targets and emissions data are independently reported. Overall, the EIB's emissions data and climate commitments demonstrate a proactive stance in addressing climate change, aligning with industry standards for transparency and accountability in carbon management.
