SMBC Group's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of SMBC Group's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2024, SMBC Group reported a total waste generation of 694 metric tonnes, of which 65.56% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This moderate level of recovery indicates that SMBC Group is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.
Has SMBC Group reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2020, SMBC Group's total waste generation decreased by 26.25%, yet rose by 2.81% in 2024, potentially indicating a temporary operational shift or inconsistency in waste management outcomes.
Over the same period, SMBC Group's waste recovery rate declined by 7.51%, with a further 3.37% drop in 2024, underscoring a weakening in waste diversion performance and a potential drift away from circular waste strategies.
Overall, SMBC Group had been making progress in reducing waste, but recent increases in waste and simultaneous drops in recovery point to emerging risks or disruptions in waste management strategy.
