In 2024, CaixaBank reported emissions for 5 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.a
This partial disclosure allows for some insight into the company's indirect impacts.
In 2024, the largest contributors to CaixaBank's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2024, CaixaBank reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 7,282.2 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 17,641 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 0.41 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2024, CaixaBank reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 0.41 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 0.84, this places the company below its industry benchmark, indicating it is more carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2024, CaixaBank ranked 10 out of 25 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
CaixaBank is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2024, CaixaBank reported a total carbon footprint of 82,194,899 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 7.32% decrease compared to 2023, indicating progress in reducing its overall greenhouse gas output.ab
The largest contributor to CaixaBank's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 99.96% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 2 emissions at 0.03%.a
