"The net zero target of U.S. Bancorp is to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Net Zero Tracker
This goal includes Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions that they currently report, as well as financed emissions. Net Zero Tracker
The company has set interim targets of reducing emissions by 40% by 2029 and 60% by 2044, relative to 2014 emissions. Net Zero Tracker
An interesting fact about their environmental policy is that they reached their 2029 target of a 40% reduction 10 years early, having reduced their emissions by 44% as of year-end 2019. Net Zero …"

Sector Benchmark

Note: Latest GHG and revenue data (based on tradingview.com) are used to calculate GHG emissions intensity by sector. The color scale of each bubble depends on the GHG intensity (GHG emissions per 1 million USD revenue). Sectors follow the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS) that organize companies based on their primary business activities. The 11 sectors are : Information Technology, Health Care, Financials, Consumer Discretionary, Communication Services, Industrials, Consumer Staples, Energy, Utilities, Real Estate, and Materials.

US Bancorp belongs to the sector Financials.
