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

As a result of the medium/long-term plans implemented since 2019, major reductions in electricity and thermal energy consumption and in the resulting emissions were achieved by the Group, with a drop of -35% in Scope 1 + Scope 2 Market-based emissions in 2024 (a -10.3% decrease in 2024 compared to 2023).

 *2024 data includes, in addition to emissions from paper purchases, also emissions from the use of cloud computing that were not calculated in 2023. With reference to the emissions due to the purchase of paper (4,672.75 tCO2 ) a considerable increase occurred in the emission factors of 2024 paper compared to 2023 (+37.4% for recycled paper and +42% for eco and traditional paper).

** As from 2024 Scope 3 cat. 15 figure refers to Pillar 3 disclosures. The figure relating to the target setting perimeter amounts to a total of 20.4 Mt CO2 e compared to 24.2 Mt CO2 e in 2023.

Energy consumption

In 2024 the Group’s total energy consumption decreased by 5.8% compared to 2023, despite the increase in employees, and total energy consumption per operator decreased by 6.1%. The Group continued to reduce its electricity consumption, which fell by 3.3% compared with the previous year thanks to energy efficiency and optimisation actions and the reorganisation of the sales network.
