Sallie Mae Bank's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from SLM Corporation

Sallie Mae Bank, headquartered in the US, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The bank is a current subsidiary of SLM Corporation, which may influence its climate-related initiatives and reporting. While Sallie Mae Bank has not established specific reduction targets or commitments, it is important to note that emissions data and climate performance may be inherited from its parent company, SLM Corporation. This relationship suggests that any climate commitments or emissions data would be reflective of SLM Corporation's broader sustainability strategies. As of now, Sallie Mae Bank has not publicly committed to any specific climate pledges or initiatives, nor does it report on any Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) reduction targets. The lack of detailed emissions data and reduction initiatives highlights a potential area for future development in their environmental strategy.
