In 2023, Landwirtschaftliche Rentenbank reported carbon emissions totalling approximately 63,800 kg CO2e, with emissions categorised under Scope 3. This includes about 58,000 kg CO2e from business travel and approximately 1,800 kg CO2e from purchased goods and services. Notably, the bank has not disclosed any Scope 1 or Scope 2 emissions, indicating a potential focus on indirect emissions. In previous years, the bank's emissions were significantly higher. For instance, in 2021, total emissions reached about 401,800 kg CO2e, comprising 255,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 118,600 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 569,900 kg CO2e from Scope 3. This data highlights a substantial reduction in emissions over the years, particularly in Scope 3 categories. Despite these reductions, Landwirtschaftliche Rentenbank has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, nor does it appear to inherit any emissions data from a parent organisation. The absence of formal commitments suggests a need for further development in their climate strategy. Overall, the bank's emissions profile reflects a growing awareness of climate impact, yet it lacks defined goals for future reductions.
