In 2024, CDB reported carbon emissions of approximately 458,550 kg CO2e, exclusively from Scope 1 emissions. This figure reflects the bank's direct emissions from its operations. Notably, there is no reported data for Scope 2 or Scope 3 emissions for the same year, indicating a potential area for improvement in transparency and comprehensive reporting. CDB's emissions data from previous years shows a more extensive footprint. In 2021, the total emissions were about 5,052,990 kg CO2e, which included 4,849,650 kg CO2e from Scope 2 (purchased electricity) and 451,550 kg CO2e from Scope 3 (business travel). The bank has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets and other documented climate pledges. CDB's emissions data is not cascaded from a parent organization, and all figures are reported directly from the China Development Bank. The bank's commitment to addressing climate change remains unclear, as there are no stated reduction initiatives or targets at this time. Overall, CDB's emissions profile highlights the need for enhanced climate commitments and clearer strategies for reducing its carbon footprint in the future.
