Despite these reductions, there are currently no publicly disclosed reduction targets or climate pledges from Sterling Bancorp, which may limit their accountability in the context of industry standards for climate action. The absence of specific initiatives or commitments highlights a potential area for improvement in their environmental strategy. Overall, while Sterling Bancorp has made strides in reducing emissions, further commitments and structured targets could enhance their climate impact and align them with broader sustainability goals.
