In 2023, Helgeland Sparebank reported total carbon emissions of approximately 10,447,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 27,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and a significant 16,807,147,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The Scope 3 emissions primarily stem from investments, which accounted for about 16,461,329,000 kg CO2e, alongside other categories such as capital goods (265,000 kg CO2e) and employee commute (1,549,000 kg CO2e). Comparatively, in 2022, the bank's emissions were approximately 9,701,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 25,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 444,280 kg CO2e for Scope 3. This indicates a notable increase in Scope 1 emissions, while Scope 2 remained relatively stable, and Scope 3 emissions were significantly higher due to the large investment portfolio. Despite these figures, Helgeland Sparebank has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. The bank's emissions data reflects a growing awareness of its carbon footprint, particularly in relation to its investment activities, but further commitments to climate action would enhance its sustainability profile.
