Bank of Commerce Holdings's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Columbia Banking System, Inc.

Bank of Commerce Holdings, headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for recent years. The organisation's climate commitments and reduction initiatives are not explicitly outlined, indicating a potential area for development in their sustainability strategy. However, it is important to note that emissions data and performance metrics may be inherited from their corporate family, specifically from Columbia Banking System, Inc., through a merged entity relationship. This cascading of data suggests that Bank of Commerce Holdings may align its climate strategies with those of Columbia Banking System, which could include industry-standard practices and targets. As of now, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges from Bank of Commerce Holdings, which may reflect a broader trend within the banking sector to enhance transparency and accountability regarding climate impact. The absence of specific emissions figures and reduction initiatives highlights an opportunity for the organisation to establish clear climate commitments and measurable goals in the future.
