In 2019, BBVA reported approximately 56,699,000 kg CO2e in Scope 3 emissions globally. This figure represents the bank's indirect emissions from its value chain, which are critical for understanding its overall carbon footprint. In 2018, the Scope 3 emissions were slightly higher at about 65,289,000 kg CO2e, indicating a reduction in emissions over the year. As of 2022, BBVA has not disclosed any specific emissions data, including Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, nor have they provided any recent updates on their carbon footprint. The absence of detailed emissions data suggests a need for enhanced transparency in their climate reporting. BBVA has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges, indicating a potential area for improvement in their climate commitments. The lack of documented reduction initiatives further highlights the need for a more robust strategy to address climate change. Overall, while BBVA has made some progress in reducing its Scope 3 emissions, the organisation's climate commitments and transparency regarding emissions data require further development to align with industry standards and expectations.
