Emission levels associated with Santander Bank Polska S.A.’s operations in 2021. (in tons of CO2E). Below is a summary of the calculation of CO2 emission levels in „own” activities (scope 1) and those directly dependent on Santander Bank S.A. operations. (scope 2), as well as business travel (scope 3). The methodology and scope of the calculations are included in the methodological appendix at the end of the TCFD report, which is an integral part of this report.
| Emission category | Emissions in 2021 (in tonnes of CO2e) | |
| Location-based | Market- based | |
| Scope 1 | 5,957.1 | 5,957.1 |
| Scope 2 | 29,175.5 | 15,513.0 |
| Scope 3 | 94.7 | 94.7* |

We use several metrics to measure our climate impact, including, among others, kilograms of carbon dioxide emissions translated into liters of gasoline consumed in the fleet, emissions from electricity consumption in our offices, and consumption of district heat.
A detailed summary of our emissions, including a description of the sources of these emissions we have considered, the consumption of the source expressed in the appropriate unit of measurement, the type of data, and the emission factor, along with the source on which the calculation was based, can be found in the TCFD report.
