In 2023, the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) reported carbon emissions of approximately 11,041,180 kg CO2e, specifically from Scope 1 emissions related to mobile combustion. This figure reflects a slight increase from the previous year, where emissions were about 10,050,700 kg CO2e in 2022. Over the years, ICBC has shown fluctuations in its total emissions, with 2018 emissions recorded at about 89,587,900 kg CO2e, peaking in 2019 at approximately 89,859,600 kg CO2e, before decreasing to about 85,246,300 kg CO2e in 2020. The bank has disclosed its Scope 1 emissions data for 2021, 2022, and 2023, but has not provided specific data for Scope 2 or Scope 3 emissions. Despite these emissions figures, ICBC has not set any publicly disclosed reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or similar frameworks. The bank's climate strategy appears to be in the early stages, with no significant reduction initiatives documented. Overall, while ICBC has made strides in transparency regarding its emissions, the absence of clear reduction targets highlights an area for potential improvement in its climate commitments.
