Commitment to environment: data

The Intesa Sanpaolo Group’s greenhouse gas emissions, reported in CO2 equivalent in accordance with the international GHG Protocol (Greenhouse Gas Protocol), relate to:

  • Scope1 direct emissions, relating to the use of fuel for heating, the fleet, and leaks of F-GAS;
  • Scope2 indirect emissions for centralised HVAC systems and electricity.

The Bank’s commitment to containing its CO2 emissions takes tangible form in its Own Emissions Plan which identifies specific 2030 targets aimed at reducing its consumption of natural gas, diesel and traditional electricity. The Bank also has a concrete and constant commitment to loans and services for the Green Economy.

Greenhouse emissions

At an overall level, Scope1 + Scope2 Market-based* greenhouse gas emissions fell by 6% compared to 2021: this result was achieved through continuous improvement in terms of energy efficiency, the purchase of more electricity from renewable sources by international subsidiaries and, in part, also through the commercial reorganisation that took place during the year; the downtrend in electricity consumption was also confirmed, coming in at -6% compared to the previous year. Also considering the extension of the reporting scope (with the entry of the UBI Banca Group), a 42% reduction in total emissions linked to energy consumption (direct and indirect with 2012 baseline) was achieved, amply exceeding the target set in the 2012-2022 Climate Change Action Plan (against a target of 36% for 2022.

* Market-based: the Scope2 data on purchased electricity considers the contribution, agreed contractually, of the guaranteed renewable source certificates, which therefore have zero emissions.

Energy consumption

In addition to the energy efficiency measures aimed at reducing its environmental impact, the Intesa Sanpaolo Group has committed itself, where possible, to producing electricity by installing photovoltaic plants and purchasing electricity from renewable sources, which in 2022 accounts for 91% of total electricity purchased (88% in 2021). The 89% target by the end of 2022 set in the 2012-2022 Climate Change Action Plan was therefore achieved.
