SMBC Aviation Capital's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, SMBC Aviation Capital, headquartered in Ireland (IE), reported total carbon emissions of approximately 5,057,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 885,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 118,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and a significant 4,054,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions, which primarily stem from downstream leased assets amounting to 11,129,444,000 kg CO2e. Comparatively, in 2022, the company recorded total emissions of about 3,840,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 845,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 38,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 2,957,000 kg CO2e. This indicates an increase in total emissions from 2022 to 2023. 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.
