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

All in all, Scope 1 + Scope 2 Market-based greenhouse gas emissions fell by 9%. The Scope 1 and Scope 2.

Location Based emissions highlight the positive results of the energy efficiency actions taken and the upgrading of the fleet to hybrid and electric vehicles, with a 9.2% reduction compared with 2022.

Despite the reduction in the number of workers (-2.3%) and the surface area (-1.6%), corresponding emissions fell even further: -6.8% emissions per worker and -7.5% in relation to surface area. Furthermore, in addition to its Scope 1 and 2 emissions the Intesa Sanpaolo Group is also committed to reporting its indirect Scope 3 emissions which are connected with its activities but not directly controlled by the company (paper, waste, office equipment, etc.).
