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.
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 -39% in Scope 1 + Scope 2 Market-based emissions in 2025 (a 5.6% decrease in 2025 compared to 2024).

** 2025 data include, in addition to emissions from paper purchases and the use of cloud computing, also emissions from water and toner cartridge that were not calculated in 2024. With reference to the emissions due to the purchase of paper (4,296,47 tCO2 ) a decrease of paper emissions (-8%) is in line with the reduction of use of paper.

In 2025 the reduction in energy consumption, particularly that related to fossil fuels, has continued (-2.6% compared to 2024). Both fossil-based electricity and natural gas consumption for self and condominium heating has decreased. With reference to the fleet-related energy consumption, there was a reduction in fossil fuel use in favour of renewable electric charging.
