In 2022, Taichung Commercial Bank Co., based in Taiwan (TW), reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,894,257 kg CO2e. This figure includes 224,749 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and 1,669,508 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. The bank's emissions have decreased from 2,366,648 kg CO2e in 2021, indicating a significant reduction in their carbon footprint. The bank has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data, which typically encompasses indirect emissions from the value chain. However, it has consistently reported on its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions over the past few years, with 2021 emissions including 215,478 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 1,761,197 kg CO2e from Scope 2. Despite the reductions observed, Taichung Commercial Bank Co. has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, nor does it appear to be part of any industry-standard initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of formal commitments suggests that while the bank is actively monitoring its emissions, it may need to enhance its climate strategy to align with global sustainability goals. Overall, Taichung Commercial Bank Co. demonstrates a commitment to reducing its carbon emissions, as evidenced by the year-on-year decrease in total emissions, but further action and formal commitments could strengthen its climate impact.
