In 2023, Jyske Bank reported total carbon emissions of approximately 2,007,620 kg CO2e. This figure includes 639,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which encompass direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, and 358,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, related to indirect emissions from the generation of purchased energy. The majority of their emissions, about 2,007,620 kg CO2e, stem from Scope 3, which includes emissions from investments, business travel, employee commuting, and other indirect sources. Over the years, Jyske Bank has shown a trend of reducing its emissions. For instance, from 2022 to 2023, Scope 1 emissions decreased from 603,000 kg CO2e to 639,000 kg CO2e, while Scope 2 emissions also saw a reduction from 404,000 kg CO2e to 358,000 kg CO2e. However, the total emissions from Scope 3 increased from approximately 1,848,817 kg CO2e in 2022 to about 2,007,620 kg CO2e in 2023. Despite these figures, Jyske Bank has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The bank's emissions intensity, measured in tonnes of CO2e per DKK million in revenue, reflects its operational efficiency in relation to its carbon footprint. Overall, while Jyske Bank has made strides in managing its emissions, the absence of formal reduction targets indicates a potential area for future commitment and improvement in its climate strategy.
