In 2016, UniCredit Bank GmbH reported significant carbon emissions in Germany, with Scope 1 emissions totalling approximately 17,961,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions reaching about 68,152,000 kg CO2e. This data highlights the bank's operational impact on climate change, particularly in its direct and indirect emissions from energy consumption. Despite the absence of recent emissions data for 2021, the bank has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. This indicates a potential area for improvement in their climate commitments, as they currently lack formalised strategies for reducing their carbon footprint. The emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organisation, and UniCredit Bank GmbH operates independently in this regard. The bank's commitment to sustainability and climate action remains a critical focus, especially as the financial sector increasingly prioritises environmental responsibility.
