The bank's Scope 2 emissions also include a market-based total of 1,159,000 kg CO2e. In 2023, NORD/LB's total emissions were about 4,127,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 1,300,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions at 726,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions reaching 2,101,000 kg CO2e. The bank has disclosed emissions data across all three scopes for 2023, indicating a comprehensive approach to carbon accounting. Despite these figures, NORD/LB has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments. The absence of SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets suggests that the bank is currently not aligned with industry-standard climate action frameworks. Overall, while NORD/LB has made strides in emissions reporting, the lack of defined reduction strategies highlights an area for potential improvement in its climate commitments.
