Truist Bank's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Truist Financial Corporation

Truist Bank, headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. The bank is a current subsidiary of Truist Financial Corporation, which may influence its climate commitments and emissions reporting. As of now, Truist Bank has not publicly outlined any specific reduction targets or initiatives related to carbon emissions. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that the bank is still in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. Truist Bank's climate commitments may be informed by broader initiatives from its parent company, Truist Financial Corporation, which is involved in various sustainability efforts. However, specific details regarding these initiatives or any emissions data cascaded from the parent organisation have not been disclosed. In summary, while Truist Bank is part of a larger corporate family that may have climate commitments, there is currently no available emissions data or specific reduction targets to report.
