Synchrony Bank's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Synchrony Financial

Synchrony Bank, headquartered in the US, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures in the latest available data. The bank's climate commitments and reduction initiatives are inherited from its parent company, Synchrony Financial, which operates at a cascade level of 1. While there are no documented reduction targets or specific climate pledges from Synchrony Bank itself, it is important to note that the broader corporate family may have initiatives in place. However, details regarding these initiatives, such as Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) commitments or specific reduction targets, are not provided in the available data. As a current subsidiary of Synchrony Financial, Synchrony Bank's climate strategy may align with the overarching goals of its parent company, but specific metrics and commitments at the bank level remain unspecified.
