Carbon Neutral
BOCOM BBM has received the Voluntary Cancellation certificate for three consecutive years for offsetting its greenhouse gas emissions from 2022, 2023, and 2024. This milestone was achieved through the purchase of 591 carbon credits in 2022, 671 in 2023, and 647 in 2024, which correspond to the same amount in tons of CO₂ equivalent. The project is certified by the UN Clean Development Mechanism, ensuring the credibility and positive impact of BOCOM BBM’s actions. It was also supported by the ISS Neutral Program, an initiative of the Rio de Janeiro City Hall through the Secretariat of Economic Development, which promotes tax compensation as an incentive for companies to offset their GHG emissions by purchasing carbon credits.
GHG Protocol - Gold
The Bank achieved Gold Seal certification for its 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 inventories under the Brazilian GHG Protocol Program, the highest level attainable by participating companies. This recognition confirms the completeness of inventories prepared in accordance with the global standard for measuring greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Conducted by the Center for Sustainability Studies of Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGVces), the program is dedicated to fostering a corporate culture of accounting for, preparing, and disclosing inventories through the Public Emissions Registry. Our consecutive participation in this initiative demonstrates our continued progress in advancing our strategic sustainability agenda, contributing to environmental preservation through actions aimed at mitigating the impacts of climate change.
