In 2023, SpareBank 1 Sør-Norge ASA reported energy intensity figures of approximately 213 kg CO2e per square metre, although specific total emissions data for Scope 1, 2, and 3 were not disclosed. The bank's emissions data for previous years shows a slight increase in energy intensity, with values of about 203 kg CO2e/m² in 2022 and 233 kg CO2e/m² in 2021. Currently, SpareBank 1 Sør-Norge ASA has not established any formal reduction targets or initiatives, nor have they committed to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This lack of specified reduction commitments indicates a need for further development in their climate strategy. The bank's focus appears to be on monitoring energy intensity rather than implementing comprehensive emissions reduction strategies. Overall, while the bank is tracking its energy intensity, it has yet to set clear targets for reducing its carbon footprint, which is essential for aligning with industry standards and addressing climate change effectively.
