Scotiabank Addresses Climate Change by Establishing an Internal Carbon Price
As part of our commitment to the Carbon Pricing Leadership Coalition, we implemented an internal carbon price in 2018. After
consultations with external experts and a thorough peer review, we established an internal tax of CAD$15 per tonne of CO2 for our
global Scope 1 and 2 emissions. This allowed us to fairly compare projects that required higher upfront costs (but delivered longer-term energy savings), with those that were more cost-effective but short-term solutions.
