Itaú Unibanco S.A.'s reported carbon emissions

Itaú Unibanco S.A., headquartered in Brazil, currently does not provide specific carbon emissions data for the most recent year, as no emissions figures are available. Consequently, there are no reported Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions to detail. In terms of climate commitments, the bank has not outlined any specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor have they engaged with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) for formal reduction goals. This lack of publicly available data on emissions and climate strategies suggests that Itaú Unibanco may still be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate action plan. As the financial sector increasingly prioritises sustainability, it is essential for Itaú Unibanco to establish clear emissions data and reduction commitments to align with industry standards and expectations.
