- Increasing physical risks from climate change (e.g., extreme weather events, heat waves).
- Transition risks related to achieving net-zero emissions (e.g., finding alternative fuels, securing financing).
- Supply chain disruptions due to climate events.
- Data security and privacy concerns.
SBB AG
Greenhouse gas emissions & sustainability report data
In its 2023 reporting, SBB AG disclosed greenhouse gas emissions of 1.0M tCO2e (Scope 1+2+3). By scope: Scope 1: 65.9K tCO2e; Scope 2: 800 tCO2e; Scope 3: 945.4K tCO2e. Figures are as stated in the company's own report and may use different boundaries, units or methods (for example market-based vs location-based Scope 2), so compare with care.
