In 2025, SMBC Group reported emissions for 7 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.a
This partial disclosure allows for some insight into the company's indirect impacts.
In 2025, the largest contributors to SMBC Group's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2025, SMBC Group reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 13,570 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 33,781 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 0.4 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2025, SMBC Group reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 0.4 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 0.56, this places the company below its industry benchmark, indicating it is more carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2025, SMBC Group ranked 8 out of 25 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
SMBC Group is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2025, SMBC Group reported a total carbon footprint of 1,775,790 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 0.47% increase compared to 2024, suggesting a rise in emissions across its operations or value chain.a
The largest contributor to SMBC Group's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 92.8% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 2 emissions at 6.43%.a
