Webinar 4 - Navigating Financed Emissions: Understanding Financial Sector's Climate Impact

In this insightful session, Olive Gaea will guide you through the complexities of financed emissions, a crucial subset of Scope 3 emissions. Financed emissions represent the indirect carbon footprint associated with financial services, investments, and loans, extending the impact of financial institutions beyond their direct operations to encompass their entire value chain.

The financial sector is responsible for significant emissions through its financing activities. Recent studies reveal that the financed emissions of major banks and investors can be many times greater than their direct operational emissions. For instance, the world's largest banks and investors are linked to approximately 3.8 billion metric tons of CO2 annually (source: Barclays). This makes effective management of these emissions pivotal for financial institutions committed to climate action and stakeholder engagement.

Understanding and managing financed emissions are essential steps for any financial institution aiming to reduce its overall greenhouse gas emissions. By addressing these emissions, financial institutions can significantly contribute to global sustainability efforts and meet stakeholder expectations for climate responsibility.

Join us to gain valuable insights into the strategies and practices that can help your organization address and reduce financed emissions, ultimately leading to a more sustainable future for all.
