UniCredit Bank GmbH's reported carbon emissions

In 2024, UniCredit Bank GmbH reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,000,000 kg CO2e across all scopes. The breakdown includes Scope 1 emissions of about 5,617 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 3,811 kg CO2e (market-based), and significant Scope 3 emissions totalling around 1,000,000 kg CO2e. Notably, the largest contributors to Scope 3 emissions were business travel (about 920,000 kg CO2e) and purchased goods and services (approximately 82,249 kg CO2e). Comparatively, in 2019, the bank's emissions were significantly higher, with Scope 1 emissions at about 45,721,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions reaching approximately 66,381,000 kg CO2e (market-based), and Scope 3 emissions at around 8,942,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a substantial reduction in emissions over the years, particularly in Scope 1 and 2 categories. Despite these reductions, UniCredit Bank GmbH has not set specific reduction targets through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other formal climate pledges. The emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, UniCredit S.p.A., which provides a broader context for the bank's sustainability efforts. Overall, while UniCredit Bank GmbH has made progress in reducing its carbon footprint, the absence of formal reduction targets suggests an opportunity for further commitment to climate action.
