Insights into Sumitomo's Greenhouse Gas Emissions Pathways
As of 2024, Sumitomo has set greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets that cover both its operational emissions (Scope 1 and 2) and value chain emissions (Scope 3), offering a comprehensive view of its total carbon footprint.
Does Sumitomo have a target to reduce the emissions from its operations?
As of 2024, Sumitomo has set a target to reduce its operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, specifically those from Scope 1 and Scope 2 sources.
Sumitomo's most ambitious operational target is to reduce these emissions by 60% by 2035, compared to a baseline of 34,452,000 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2019.
Instead of reducing operational emissions, Sumitomo has increased them, with 2022 levels exceeding those of the 2019 baseline, placing the company well behind its reduction target.
Sumitomo's Operational (Scope 1+2) Emissions Pathway
Does Sumitomo have a target to reduce the emissions from its value chain?
As of 2024, Sumitomo has set a target to reduce its value chain greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, covering 1 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.
Sumitomo's most ambitious value chain target is to reduce these emissions by 90% by 2035, compared to a baseline of 15,808,000 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2019.
As of 2022, Sumitomo is ahead of schedule on its value chain emissions reduction target, having achieved 46.44% of the planned reduction.
Sumitomo's Value Chain (Scope 3) Emissions Pathway
Does Sumitomo have a target to reduce its total carbon footprint?
As of 2024, Sumitomo has set a target to reduce its total carbon footprint, specifically those from Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 sources.
Sumitomo's most ambitious carbon footprint target is to reduce its scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions from a baseline of 59,000,000 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2019, by 50% by 2035.
As of 2023, Sumitomo is on track to meet its total carbon footprint reduction target, having achieved 27.12% of the planned reduction.
