South State Bank's reported carbon emissions

South State Bank, headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year, as indicated by the absence of reported figures. The bank is a current subsidiary of SouthState Bank, National Association, and any emissions data would be inherited from this parent organisation. As of now, South State Bank has not established any documented reduction targets or climate pledges, nor does it participate in initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). This lack of specific commitments or targets suggests that the bank is still in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. In the context of the banking industry, many institutions are increasingly focusing on sustainability and carbon reduction initiatives. However, without specific data or commitments, it is unclear how South State Bank plans to align with these industry trends or address its carbon footprint.
