1 The 2016-figures have been adjusted to reflect the same measuring method as used for 2017.
Rabobank's goal is to reduce our emissions per FTE by 10%
between 2013 and 2020.This year, Rabobank has moved away
from target which is caused by the quick decline in employees
in the course of 2017.Therefore despite the further reduction in
C02 emissions, the emissions per FTE have increased. Rabobank
compensates its remaining footprint.The target remains ambitious.
In the coming years, it is Rabobank's ambition to get closer to
its clients, physically as well as virtually. At the same time, we
expect the number of Rabobank branches to decline in the
coming time. Together with increased digitalisation, the potential
increase in the physical distance between the bank and its
clients may result in a larger demand of electricity and mobility
(per FTE).Therefore we implemented an energy management
system which provides management and control information to
ensure compliance with EEP 2017-2020 and gives rapid insights
into savings made in terms of energy use and C02 emissions.
Another trend that we signal is the increasing ambition and
social dialogue regarding the integration and calculation of the
emission footprint of our clients in the balance sheet. Supervisors
are discussing this topic in a more structural manner and
Rabobank is an active participant in the relevant working group.
