LGT Bank (Switzerland) Ltd.'s reported carbon emissions

LGT Bank (Switzerland) Ltd. has reported its carbon emissions data for the years 2017 to 2022, with the most recent figures indicating a total of approximately 2,000,000 kg CO2e in Scope 3 emissions for 2022. The bank's emissions breakdown for that year includes about 80,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and about 540,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2. Over the years, LGT Bank has shown a significant reduction in its emissions. For instance, in 2017, the total emissions were approximately 6,344,000 kg CO2e, which highlights a downward trend in their carbon footprint. The bank's Scope 1 emissions decreased from about 562,000 kg CO2e in 2017 to 80,000 kg CO2e in 2022, while Scope 2 emissions also saw a reduction from approximately 2,311,000 kg CO2e to 540,000 kg CO2e in the same period. Despite these reductions, LGT Bank has not publicly committed to specific science-based targets or climate pledges. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while the bank is actively reducing its emissions, it may not yet be aligned with industry-standard climate initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Overall, LGT Bank's commitment to reducing its carbon emissions is evident through its decreasing figures, but further transparency regarding specific climate commitments would enhance its sustainability profile.
