US Bank's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from U.S. Bancorp

As of the latest available data, US Bank does not report specific carbon emissions figures. However, the bank is part of a corporate family that includes U.S. Bancorp, which may influence its climate commitments and initiatives. US Bank has not outlined specific reduction targets or climate pledges in the provided information. The absence of detailed emissions data suggests that the bank may still be developing its sustainability strategy or reporting framework. It is important to note that US Bank is a current subsidiary of U.S. Bancorp, and any climate-related initiatives or targets may be influenced by the parent company's policies. The bank's commitment to sustainability may align with broader industry trends, including the adoption of Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) standards, although specific targets from this initiative were not disclosed. In summary, while US Bank currently lacks specific emissions data and reduction targets, its affiliation with U.S. Bancorp may play a role in shaping its future climate commitments and sustainability efforts.
