First Citizens Bank's reported carbon emissions

First Citizens 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 emissions figures. The bank's climate commitments and reduction initiatives are also not detailed, with no documented reduction targets or climate pledges. However, it is important to note that First Citizens Bank's emissions data may be influenced by its corporate family structure. The bank has inherited emissions data from Wesbanco Bank, Inc., which is a merged entity at a cascade level of 2. This relationship may provide context for understanding its overall climate impact, although specific figures are not disclosed. As of now, First Citizens Bank has not publicly committed to any Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) reduction targets or other industry-standard climate initiatives. The lack of specific emissions data and reduction commitments highlights an opportunity for the bank to enhance its transparency and accountability in addressing climate change.
