Case Study: a leading community bank strengthens ESG reporting and green positioning with S&P Global Market Intelligence

A Community Bank Shares its “Going Green” Story with Stakeholders

S&P Global worked with a leading community bank whose chief marketing officer and head of investor relations wanted to better understand and communicate the bank’s ESG performance. The bank needed credible data on its environmental footprint, including greenhouse gas emissions, resource use, pollutants, water use, waste, and how it compared with peer institutions.

S&P Global, through Market Intelligence and S&P Global Trucost, provided standardized environmental data, peer benchmarking tools, and ESG scores across company, category, and criteria levels. This gave the bank a comprehensive view of its current environmental position, helped it identify areas for improvement, and enabled marketing and IR teams to use the insights in external materials and disclosures to demonstrate progress toward becoming an even greener firm.
