Bank Of Ireland

Bank Of Ireland, a financial intermediation services company headquartered in Ireland, reported estimated total emissions of approximately 12.37 billion kg CO2e in 2025. This figure comprises 3,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 market-based emissions and 12.36 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. Notably, a significant portion of Scope 3 emissions, about 12.36 billion kg CO2e, was attributed to franchises. In the previous year, 2024, the company's estimated total emissions were approximately 12.51 billion kg CO2e, with 13,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 market-based emissions and 12.50 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions.

Bank Of Ireland has set several climate commitments. The company aims for its own operations to be net zero by 2030, which includes a target to reduce operational emissions (Scope 1 and 2) by at least 90% from a 2020 base year. This target is considered consistent with reductions required to keep warming to 1.5°C by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), which validated Bank of Ireland Group plc's near-term targets in December 2022 and October 2024. Additionally, Bank Of Ireland targets a 56% reduction in Commercial Real Estate (CRE) portfolio GHG emissions per square metre by 2030, from a 2020 base year (Scope 3).
