The total emissions from Scope 1 and 2 combined were about 316,000,000 kg CO2e. Despite the substantial emissions figures, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives disclosed by Sumitomo Riko Co Ltd. The company is a current subsidiary of Sumitomo Riko Company Limited, which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. The emissions data is cascaded from the parent company, Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd., indicating a corporate family relationship that may affect their sustainability strategies. Overall, while Sumitomo Riko Co Ltd has reported extensive emissions data, the absence of defined reduction targets suggests a need for further commitment to climate action within the industry context.
