Our highest priority is to make reductions within our emissions categories and to reduce as much as we can to minimise our own operational footprint. However, some emissions are unavoidable, and Danske Bank has been offsetting remaining operational emissions annually since 2009.

Our offsetting practices have evolved over the years, and in 2022 we set increased ambitions informed by current best practices and leading authorities, such as the SBTi Net-Zero methodology and the Oxford Offsetting Principles.

As from 2022, we purchase 100% carbon removal offsets for our internal operations, ensuring that every tonne is compensated for by 1 tonne of CO2e removed from the atmosphere.
