Sumitomo Metal Industries Ltd., headquartered in Japan (JP), currently does not report specific carbon emissions data for the most recent year, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The company is part of a corporate family that includes Nippon Steel Corporation, which may influence its climate commitments and performance metrics. As a merged entity, Sumitomo Metal Industries Ltd. inherits climate initiatives and targets from Nippon Steel Corporation. This includes participation in the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and the Climate Action 100+ initiative, both of which aim to drive significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions across the steel industry. However, specific reduction targets or achievements have not been disclosed. The absence of direct emissions data suggests that Sumitomo Metal Industries Ltd. is still in the process of establishing its own climate commitments or may rely on the broader strategies set forth by its parent company. The company’s climate strategy may align with industry standards, focusing on reducing Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, although specific details are not available at this time. In summary, while Sumitomo Metal Industries Ltd. does not currently provide specific emissions data or reduction targets, it is positioned within a corporate structure that prioritises climate action through initiatives led by Nippon Steel Corporation.
