Triodos Bank's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Triodos Bank reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,402,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 474,500 kg CO2e, primarily from stationary combustion, and Scope 2 emissions of around 393,500 kg CO2e from purchased electricity. The bank's Scope 3 emissions, which encompass business travel, employee commuting, downstream leased assets, and waste generated in operations, totalled approximately 271,000,000 kg CO2e. Over the years, Triodos Bank has demonstrated a commitment to reducing its carbon footprint. For instance, emissions decreased from about 3,123,000 kg CO2e in 2016 to the latest figure in 2023, indicating a significant reduction trend. However, the bank has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges as per the latest data. The bank's emissions profile shows a consistent focus on addressing Scope 3 emissions, which are often the most challenging to manage. Triodos Bank's efforts align with industry standards for climate action, although further commitments could enhance its sustainability strategy.
