Environmental Responsibility
We behave responsibly towards the environment and support the communities in which we operate. We embarked on our environmental responsibility journey in 2017, when we published our first non-financial reporting.
Development of the MONETA's carbon footprint according to
Scope 1, 2 and 3 in 2016 - 2022 (tCO2e)
We started measuring our carbon footprint for the first time in 2016.
Greenhouse gas emissions intensity
| Indicator | Unit | 2016 | 2017 | 2018 | 2019 | 2019* | 2020 | 2021** | 2022** |
| Total carbon footprint per operating income | tCO2e / mil. CZK | 1.6 | 1.9 | 1.3 | 1.3 | 1.4 | 0.9 | 68.4 | 64.4 |
| Carbon footprint (S1 and S2) per operating income | tCO2e / mil. CZK | 1.3 | 1.2 | 0.7 | 0.6 | 0.7 | 0.4 | 0.3 | 0.2 |
| Total carbon footprint per employee | tCO2e / FTE | 5.4 | 5.8 | 4.2 | 4.5 | 4.6 | 3.4 | 262.1 | 246.8 |
| Carbon footprint (S1 and S2) per employee | tCO2e / FTE | 4.2 | 3.6 | 2.2 | 2.0 | 2.3 | 1.6 | 1.1 | 0.9 |
* The data for 2019 are after the merger of Wüstenrot stavební spořitelna results and Wüstenrot hypoteční banka results with MONETA Money Bank
** In 2021 and 2022, the calculation also included emissions related to commercial portfolio

How we reduce our carbon footprint
Identifying the activities that contribute most to our carbon footprint has helped us to direct our focus and effort to where it really matters.
MONETA is a pioneer of corporate electromobility in the Czech Republic. By the end of 2024, we will have 162 electric cars in our fleet, of which 37 VW ID.3 electric cars were purchased with the support of the Ministry of Industry and Trade's "Electromobility Guarantee" programme. Electric cars will thus make up 81% of the entire fleet, exceeding our long-term goal of reaching a 75% share of electric cars in 2026.
We purchase electricity only from renewable sources. Both our headquarters in Prague and Ostrava, including our branches, run purely on green electricity.
We have reduced our water consumption by more than 5 000 m3 since 2016. We are committed to waste separation and recycling, including 100% recycling of coffee capsules.
More than 80% of our products and services are provided online. Reduction of paper consumption is paramount to us. In cases where paper in needed, we use recycled paper only.
| Paper consumptions in tons per year | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2017 | | 2018 | | 2019 | | 2020 | | 2021 | | 2022 |
| 79,5 | 68,0 | 63,9 | 61,3 | 57,8 | 8,9 |
Responsibility of our suppliers
Reducing our own carbon footprint is only a part of the solution. When choosing our suppliers, we use the ESG questionnaire to determine their approach to sustainability. We also firmly believe in supporting local economy, which is why almost 90% of our suppliers are local.
As part of our ESG Strategy, we have set a target of having assessed by the end of 2025
