Industrial And Commercial Bank Of China's reported carbon emissions

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 10,050,700 kg CO2e in 2022. Over the years, ICBC's total emissions have fluctuated, with a peak of about 89,859,600 kg CO2e in 2019 and a reduction to approximately 85,246,300 kg CO2e in 2020. ICBC has disclosed its Scope 1 emissions for the years 2021 to 2023, indicating a focus on tracking and managing direct emissions. However, there are no specific reduction targets or climate pledges outlined in their current commitments. The bank's emissions intensity metrics, such as building emissions intensity and per capita emissions intensity, suggest ongoing efforts to monitor and potentially improve their environmental impact. Overall, while ICBC has made strides in reporting its emissions, the absence of defined reduction targets highlights an area for potential growth in their climate commitments.
