In 2023, Danske Bank generated a total of 1,716 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 38.75% of Danske Bank's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 34.55% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion. The remaining 26.7% was either treated using unspecified methods or not clearly categorized.
In 2023, Danske Bank reported a total waste generation of 1,716 metric tonnes, of which 38.75% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This moderate level of recovery indicates that Danske Bank is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.
Since 2019, Danske Bank's total waste generation increased by 24.26%, but remained relatively stable in 2023, suggesting that past growth in waste production may have recently plateaued.
Over the same period, Danske Bank's waste recovery rate declined by 34.89%, with a further 18.95% drop in 2023, underscoring a weakening in waste diversion performance and a potential drift away from circular waste strategies.
Overall, Danske Bank continues to produce more waste than in earlier years, while falling short on recovery. Recent stagnation in waste output offers little relief if recovery performance continues to weaken.
