Union Bank of Taiwan's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Union Bank of Taiwan reported total carbon emissions of approximately 10,064,465.2 kg CO2e. This figure comprises 439,393.9 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and 9,625,071.3 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. Notably, there is no reported data for Scope 3 emissions. The bank has not established specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or commitments to frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This lack of formal commitments suggests that Union Bank of Taiwan may be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. Overall, while the bank has made strides in reporting its emissions, further action and commitment to reduction targets will be essential for aligning with industry standards and addressing climate change effectively.
