Carbon Footprint Report 2022
Year: 2023
Content-Type: Report
Description: The EIB Group has seen carbon emissions increase in many areas since 2021. The COVID-19 pandemic led to a significant decrease in emissions during 2020 and 2021. This effect is no longer present, as restrictions ended in 2022, resulting in a 125% increase in total gross emissions in 2022 compared with 2021, and a 36.4%4 decrease compared with the base year emissions (2018). Despite the fact that emissions increased sharply between 2021 and 2022 owing to exceptional circumstances linked to the post-pandemic recovery, the EIB Group remains aligned with its decarbonisation trajectory and is on track to meet its reduction targets for 2025. The EIB Group aims to lead by example in managing its environmental performance and disclosing the impact of its internal operations. The EIB Group implements an environmental management system in accordance with the European Union’s Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS) Regulation.1 The Eco-Management and Audit Scheme provides all EIB Group services responsible for internal operations with a robust structured framework to implement programmes and initiatives, but also to monitor, evaluate, report and continually improve its internal environmental performance in a holistic manner.
