Export–Import Bank of China's reported carbon emissions
In 2024, the Export–Import Bank of China reported significant carbon emissions, with approximately 35,383,100,000 kg CO2e attributed to unspecified sources. This figure highlights the bank's substantial environmental footprint, although specific breakdowns into Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions were not disclosed for this year. For 2023, the bank's emissions data revealed a total of about 24,414,920,870 kg CO2e, with detailed disclosures across all three scopes. Specifically, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 2,789,000 kg CO2e, while Scope 2 emissions accounted for about 60,120 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalled around 1,180,020 kg CO2e. Notably, the Scope 3 emissions included significant contributions from employee commuting (approximately 984,800 kg CO2e) and purchased goods and services (about 264,500 kg CO2e). In 2022, the bank did not report specific emissions figures but indicated indirect emissions from transportation and electricity usage, with estimates of 95,250 kg CO2e and 209,120 kg CO2e, respectively. The 2021 data showed Scope 1 emissions at approximately 13,566,500,000 kg CO2e, underscoring a considerable carbon output. Despite these figures, the Export–Import Bank of China has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction initiatives. The emissions data is cascaded from the parent organization, The Export-Import Bank of China, reflecting its current subsidiary status. This lack of defined climate commitments may position the bank in a challenging context as global pressure for emissions reductions intensifies.
