In 2023, Union Bank of Taiwan reported total carbon emissions of approximately 777,638,000 kg CO2e. This figure reflects the bank's overall emissions without specific breakdowns into Scope 1, 2, or 3 categories, as no detailed scope data has been disclosed. In comparison, the bank's emissions for 2022 were significantly lower, at about 10,064,000 kg CO2e. Despite the substantial increase in emissions from 2022 to 2023, Union Bank of Taiwan has not set any specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor have they committed to any industry-standard climate pledges such as those from the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of reduction targets indicates a potential area for improvement in their climate strategy. The emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organization, and all figures are reported directly by Union Bank of Taiwan. The bank's revenue for 2023 was approximately USD 564,861,737, which correlates with a carbon emission intensity of 0.00645 kg CO2e per unit of revenue. Overall, while Union Bank of Taiwan has made strides in reporting its emissions, the lack of reduction commitments and the significant rise in emissions highlight the need for a more robust climate action plan.
