Insights into Erste Group Bank's Greenhouse Gas Emissions Pathways
As of 2024, Erste Group Bank has set greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets that cover both its operational emissions (Scope 1 and 2) and value chain emissions (Scope 3), offering a comprehensive view of its total carbon footprint.
Does Erste Group Bank have a target to reduce the emissions from its operations?
As of 2024, Erste Group Bank has set a target to reduce its operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, specifically those from Scope 1 and Scope 2 sources.
Erste Group Bank's most ambitious operational target is to reduce these emissions by 90% by 2030, compared to a baseline of 72,154 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2017.
As of 2024, Erste Group Bank is ahead of schedule on its operational emissions reduction target, having achieved 80.62% of the planned reduction.
Erste Group Bank's Operational (Scope 1+2) Emissions Pathway
Does Erste Group Bank have a target to reduce the emissions from its value chain?
As of 2024, Erste Group Bank has set a target to reduce its value chain greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, covering 1 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.
Erste Group Bank's most ambitious value chain target is to reduce these emissions by 99% by 2050, compared to a baseline of 0.049 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) per Square Meter (m2) in 2022.
Instead of reducing value chain emissions, Erste Group Bank has increased them, with 2024 levels exceeding those of the 2022 baseline, placing the company well behind its reduction target.
