Pacific Mercantile Bancorp's reported carbon emissions

Pacific Mercantile Bancorp, headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for recent years, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The organisation'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 emissions data may be cascaded from its parent company, Banc of California, Inc., at a level 1 relationship. This means that any relevant emissions data or climate initiatives may be inherited from this entity. As of now, there are no specific emissions figures or reduction targets reported from this source either. In the context of industry standards, Pacific Mercantile Bancorp's lack of publicly available emissions data and climate commitments highlights a potential area for improvement in transparency and accountability regarding their environmental impact.
