The 2025-2027 ESG Plan

In line with the four macro-areas identified in the Strategic Plan, the CDP Group’s 2025-2027 ESG Plan sets out guidelines and targets based on the material topics identified through the 2024 materiality assessment. 

 

Decarbonisation of the financing portfolio

In 2023 the Board of Directors approved the first target for reducing the portfolio’s carbon footprint, aiming for a 30% reduction in emissions intensity (tCO2 e/€mn) by 2030 compared to 2022, for direct financing to enterprises, infrastructure and international cooperation. The calculation of financed greenhouse gas emissions is based on the methodology most widely adopted within the international financial community, developed by the Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials (PCAF). 

With regard to this target, in 2024 a 15% reduction in overall emissions intensity was recorded compared to 2022.
