WIR Bank Genossenschaft's reported carbon emissions
WIR Bank Genossenschaft, headquartered in Switzerland (CH), has not disclosed specific carbon emissions data for the most recent years, including 2020 and 2019. The available information indicates that the bank's emissions intensity for customer portfolios was approximately 0.077 kg CO2e per CHF of revenue in 2020, while for bonds, it was about 0.878 kg CO2e per CHF of revenue in 2019. However, no absolute emissions figures (Scope 1, 2, or 3) have been provided.

The absence of disclosed emissions data and reduction initiatives suggests that the bank may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate commitments.
