Scope 2 emissions totalled around 3,585,300 kg CO2e, with the majority stemming from purchased electricity at about 3,345,600 kg CO2e. Notably, Scope 3 emissions were significant, reaching approximately 18,766,300 kg CO2e, with business travel and employee commute contributing about 6,306,400 kg CO2e and 6,842,400 kg CO2e, respectively. Comparatively, in 2022, Sampo's total emissions were approximately 21,542,600 kg CO2e, indicating an increase in emissions year-on-year. The breakdown for 2022 shows Scope 1 emissions at about 1,297,900 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 4,663,500 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at around 15,581,200 kg CO2e. Sampo Group has committed to near-term targets aligned with a 1.5°C pathway, covering 58% of its total investment and lending by total assets as of 2022. These targets are designed to address greenhouse gas emissions from company operations (Scopes 1 and 2) and are consistent with the reductions necessary to limit global warming. However, Sampo has not yet committed to a net-zero target. Overall, Sampo's emissions data and climate commitments reflect a proactive approach to managing its carbon footprint within the financial sector, although the increase in emissions from 2022 to 2023 highlights the ongoing challenges in achieving sustainability goals.
