SMBC Aviation Capital has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or commitments to frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company’s emissions data is not cascaded from a parent organization, ensuring that the reported figures are solely reflective of its own operations. Overall, while SMBC Aviation Capital has made strides in transparency regarding its emissions, the lack of defined climate commitments suggests an area for potential growth in its sustainability strategy.
