Mizuho Bank's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Mizuho Bank reported total carbon emissions of approximately 69,706,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 11,566,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which are direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, and 53,077,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, which are indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity. Additionally, the bank's Scope 3 emissions, which encompass all other indirect emissions, amounted to about 5,063,000 kg CO2e. Over the years, Mizuho Bank has demonstrated a commitment to reducing its carbon footprint. In 2022, the bank's total emissions were approximately 116,372,000 kg CO2e, indicating a significant reduction in emissions by about 40% from 2022 to 2023. The bank's Scope 1 and 2 emissions combined were approximately 64,643,000 kg CO2e in 2023, down from 108,878,000 kg CO2e in 2022. Despite the positive trend in emissions reduction, Mizuho Bank has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of formal reduction targets suggests that while the bank is making progress, there is potential for further commitment to structured climate action.
