Shinhan Bank's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Shinhan Bank reported total carbon emissions of approximately 55,986,848,000 kg CO2e, comprising 14,967,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 6,176,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and about 55,986,848,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This reflects a slight increase in emissions compared to previous years, with 2022 emissions recorded at approximately 54,970,557,000 kg CO2e. Shinhan Bank has set near-term targets aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), aiming for reductions consistent with limiting global warming to 1.5°C by 2030. Their portfolio targets cover 20% of investment and lending activities as of December 2020, focusing on emissions from company operations (Scopes 1 and 2). However, the bank has not committed to a net-zero target as of now. The bank's emissions data highlights the significant impact of Scope 3 emissions, which account for the majority of their total emissions, indicating a need for comprehensive strategies to address indirect emissions associated with their financial activities.
