As of 2021, Rabobank reported total Scope 1 and 2 emissions of approximately 26,200,000,000 kg CO2e. The bank has shown a progressive reduction in carbon intensity from power generation, decreasing from about 200,000 kg CO2e per MWh in 2019 to approximately 120,000 kg CO2e per MWh in 2023. This indicates a commitment to improving energy efficiency and reducing emissions associated with electricity consumption. Despite the significant emissions reported, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives disclosed by Rabobank, such as Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) commitments or other climate pledges. The absence of formal reduction targets suggests that while the bank is actively monitoring its emissions, it may not yet have established a comprehensive framework for future reductions. Overall, Rabobank's emissions data reflects a focus on reducing carbon intensity, but further clarity on specific reduction commitments would enhance understanding of their long-term climate strategy.
