Eib's reported carbon emissions
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's emissions were broken down into Scope 1 emissions of about 22,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 4,251,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of around 17,978,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a significant reliance on 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 year. This target applies to both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, reflecting a strong commitment to decarbonisation. The EIB's reduction initiatives are part of a broader strategy to enhance sustainability and mitigate climate impact. The emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organization, indicating that the EIB independently reports its emissions and climate commitments. The bank's ongoing efforts to reduce its carbon footprint align with industry standards and reflect a proactive approach to addressing climate change.
