Sumitomo's reported carbon emissions

As of the latest available data, Sumitomo has not reported any specific carbon emissions figures, indicating a lack of publicly disclosed emissions data. Consequently, there are no details regarding their Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions. Additionally, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges, which suggests that Sumitomo may not have formalised commitments to reduce carbon emissions at this time. In the context of climate action, it is essential for companies to establish clear targets and report on their emissions to align with global sustainability goals. Without specific data or commitments, it is challenging to assess Sumitomo's position in the industry regarding climate responsibility.
