Shinhan Card Co., Ltd.'s reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Shinhan Card Co., Ltd. reported total carbon emissions of approximately 7,555,000 kg CO2e, comprising 1,379,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 6,176,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 631,709,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This reflects a commitment to transparency in their emissions reporting, which spans all three scopes. In 2022, the company recorded total emissions of about 8,268,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 1,381,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 6,887,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions reaching 697,975,000 kg CO2e. The 2021 figures showed a total of approximately 8,314,000 kg CO2e, indicating a slight decrease in emissions over the years. Despite these figures, Shinhan Card has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented reduction strategies suggests a need for further commitment to climate action within the financial services sector. The company’s emissions data highlights the significant impact of their investment activities, particularly in Scope 3 emissions, which are primarily driven by their investment portfolio. Overall, while Shinhan Card demonstrates a commitment to emissions reporting, the lack of defined reduction targets indicates an opportunity for enhanced climate commitments moving forward.
