In 2024, UniCredit Bank GmbH reported total carbon emissions of approximately 5617 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 3811 kg CO2e for Scope 2 (market-based), and a significant 1,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions, which includes substantial contributions from business travel (920,000 kg CO2e) and purchased goods and services (82,249 kg CO2e). This data reflects a comprehensive approach to emissions reporting, covering all three scopes. The bank's emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, UniCredit S.p.A., which provides a broader context for its sustainability efforts. However, there are currently no specific reduction targets or climate pledges documented for UniCredit Bank GmbH, indicating a potential area for future commitment. Historically, emissions have varied, with Scope 1 emissions peaking at 71,349,000 kg CO2e in 2016 and Scope 2 emissions reaching 230,587,000 kg CO2e in the same year. The bank's emissions strategy appears to be evolving, but the absence of defined reduction initiatives suggests that further action may be necessary to align with industry standards and expectations for climate responsibility.
