Bank of the West's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Bank of Montreal

As of the latest available data, Bank of the West does not report specific carbon emissions figures, indicating a lack of detailed emissions data for the most recent year. The bank's climate commitments and reduction initiatives are not explicitly outlined, with no documented reduction targets or climate pledges available. However, it is important to note that Bank of the West's emissions data and performance metrics are cascaded from its parent company, Bank of Montreal, at a cascade level of three. This means that any relevant emissions data or climate initiatives may be derived from the broader corporate family context, specifically from Bank of Montreal's sustainability efforts. In the absence of specific emissions data, Bank of the West's commitment to climate action can be inferred through its association with Bank of Montreal, which is known for its engagement in various climate initiatives, including participation in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). This relationship suggests that Bank of the West may align its climate strategies with those of its parent company, although specific targets or achievements are not detailed. Overall, while Bank of the West currently lacks specific emissions data and reduction targets, its affiliation with Bank of Montreal may provide a framework for future climate commitments and sustainability initiatives.
