Southern First Bank's reported carbon emissions

Southern First Bank, headquartered in the US, currently does not report any specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures in kg CO2e. Additionally, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges associated with the bank. As of now, Southern First Bank does not inherit any emissions data from a parent company, and there are no cascading targets from related organisations. This lack of data suggests that the bank may still be in the early stages of developing its climate commitments or reporting frameworks. In the context of the banking industry, many institutions are increasingly focusing on sustainability and carbon reduction initiatives. However, without specific emissions data or targets, it is challenging to assess Southern First Bank's current position in relation to industry standards for climate action.
