SGKB's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, St. Galler Kantonalbank AG (SGKB) reported total carbon emissions of approximately 2,634,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 302,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 55,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and a significant 2,277,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. Comparatively, in 2022, SGKB's total emissions were about 877,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 323,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 58,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 496,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a substantial increase in emissions year-on-year, primarily driven by Scope 3 emissions. SGKB has not disclosed any 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 has not yet formalised its long-term emissions reduction strategy. The emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organisation, indicating that SGKB's reported figures are independently sourced. The bank's commitment to sustainability is reflected in its ongoing efforts to monitor and report its carbon footprint, although further initiatives and targets would enhance its climate action profile.
