General Information on ESG Data
Since fiscal year 2011, we have collected ESG data from our Group companies to monitor the Group's ESG performance, ensure transparent disclosure to our stakeholders, and continuously enhance our sustainability initiatives.
The key ESG data disclosed on this webpage are compiled based on these results.
(latest update: Aug. 28th, 2026)
●Organizations covered in FY2025
SOMPO Holdings’ consolidated subsidiaries
●Reporting period
Unless otherwise stated, data reported are for fiscal year 2025 (April 2025 to March 2026).
For companies outside Japan included in the social and governance data, unless otherwise stated, data reported are for calendar year 2025 (January to December 2025).
●Changes in the scope of ESG data acquisition
FY2022:Establishment of SOMPO Light Vortex (2021), expansion of data acquisition scope through acquisition of ND Software (2022), addition of Sompo Care to the scope of data acquisition for "paper consumption", etc.
FY2023:Expanded the scope of GHG calculation to the entire Sompo Holdings' consolidated companies; expanded the scope of data acquisition for "Upstream transportation & distribution" and "Employee commuting" to the entire Group

FY2025:Additional companies were included in the GHG calculation scope due to the expansion of Sompo Holdings’ consolidated subsidiaries following the transition to IFRS. While the scope of social and governance data varies by item, additional companies were included in the calculation to ensure coverage of at least 75% of the total workforce across all items.
Reporting of Greenhouse Gas (GHG)
●Measurement Period for FY2025 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Data
- Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are measured using the consolidated fiscal year (from April 1, 2025, to March 31, 2026) as the calculation period. However, for Scope 3 Category 15 (investments and loans), emissions are measured based on the portfolio assets held by the Sompo Group at the end of FY2024 (the end of March 2025 for domestic companies and the end of December 2024 for overseas companies) and the FY2024 emissions data of our investee and borrower companies.
- Regarding the activity data used to calculate Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions (excluding Category 15 Investments and loans), actual measurements are used for the period from April to December of the fiscal year, while estimated values calculated based on these actual measurements are used for the period from January to March of the fiscal year.
●Calculation Methodology for Greenhouse Gas Emissions
- Since fiscal year 2012 we have been receiving annual third-party verification by a certification body.
- Although maximum attention is paid to accuracy and validity, calculation methods that are considered to be
reasonable and versatile are adopted for activities for which quantification is difficult.
- The scope of calculation is as indicated by the coverage ratio and the list of reporting companies for each data
item.
- Scope 1 emissions, as appearing in the data below, are direct GHG emissions from sources owned or controlled by
the Group, such as emissions from the use of gas and gasoline. Scope 2 emissions are indirect GHG emissions
resulting from the generation at power stations and other external sites of electricity and heat that are
purchased by the Group. Scope 3 emissions are indirect GHG emissions other than Scope 2 emissions that are
generated in any part of the value chain of the Group.
- The table below shows activity items subject to calculation.
- Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 (Categories 1, 3, 6, and 7) greenhouse gas emissions measurements include some estimated values.
Environmental Performance Data
- When calculating FY2024 results, the scope was expanded from "all domestic and overseas consolidated subsidiaries (JGAAP basis)" to "all domestic and overseas consolidated subsidiaries (IFRS basis)," and figures for FY2024 and earlier were also recalculated (this includes some estimated calculations).
Due to the rounding of decimal places, totals may not match.
- GHG emissions (Scope 1–3) undergo annual third-party verification by a certification body. The scope of calculation covers Sompo Holdings, Inc. and all of its domestic and overseas consolidated subsidiaries (IFRS basis).
- The unit for city gas is Nm3 for FY2023 and earlier, and Sm3 from FY2024 onward.
- The number of participants in the "SAVE JAPAN Project" includes participants in online-type events.
●GHG emissions from investments and loans, and insurance underwriting
We calculate the GHG emissions*1 of the companies to which our group invest and underwrite, using a calculation method developed by the Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials (PCAF).In addition to understanding our current emissions status, we actively encourage efforts to resolve social issues such as climate change through constructive engagement with our investees, borrowers, and insurance clients.
For details on our various initiatives, including sustainability-themed investments and loans, the establishment of our "Transition Insurance Target," and the development of insurance products that contribute to decarbonization, please refer to our Integrated Report.
- Numerical data may be revised retroactively due to revisions to published data and calculation methods, etc.
- GHG emissions from investments and loans*2
*2 Calculated for Scope 1 and Scope 2 of listed equities and corporate bonds in Japan and overseas using data provided by MSCI ESG Research.
(Coverage: 86 % of listed equities and 72% of corporate bonds in FY2024 on a market value basis.)
*3 GHG emissions are our company's share of the investee's EVIC (Enterprise Value Including Cash) base.
*4 Intensity is the amount of GHG emissions per unit of investment. The amount of investment in overseas business is calculated in yen using the exchange rate in 2019 (base year).
*5 WACI is the weighted average of GHG emissions per unit of sales for each investee's portfolio holdings. The WACI calculation method has changed from the 2021 figures.
- GHG emissions from insurance underwriting (Insurance-Associated Emissions)*6
*6 Calculated for Scope 1 and Scope 2 for companies that hold shares in Sompo Japan's insurance underwriting clients, using data provided by MSCI ESG Research.

- Environmental Accounting (GHG Reduction Investment Cost and Effect)
- The amount invested is mainly the total cost of energy-saving construction work, such as work to upgrade air conditioning and lightning equipment in our Group-owned buildings.
- The investment effect is calculated based mainly on the reduction in the consumption of electricity as a result of energy-saving construction work on our Group-owned buildings.

●Average annual compensation of employees (by position)
The Sompo Group is committed to ensuring that employees across all its operating regions earn a living wage above the local minimum wage level. To achieve this, Sompo Holdings sets employee compensation based on a defined methodology by participating in market compensation surveys and taking into account market levels, economic trends, the Consumer Price Index (CPI), Group management strategies, and individual performance.
Furthermore, our employee compensation system is designed to emphasize demonstrated abilities and individual merit. We have built a fair and highly transparent system where employee compensation is determined in accordance with role-based levels (grades, ranks, etc.) which clarify and reflect the role and responsibility of each employee. The system is structured so that compensation accurately reflects the degree to which employees fulfill their expected roles and their level of contribution to the Group’s performance.
The Sompo Group routinely monitors the gender pay gap, disclosing its actual results and analyzing the underlying factors. The main reasons for the difference in compensation between men and women are differences in the proportion of men and women in roles subject to nationwide relocation, the type of occupation, the number of managers, and the number of employees on short-time working arrangements, etc. If an employee's classification, type of occupation, duties, position, and working hours are the same, our compensation system ensures that no wage disparity occurs due to gender.
Governance Data

●Customer privacy protection
Sompo Japan takes appropriate actions within the organization, such as treating what was recognized in the
company as a complaint and reporting it to external related party. The table below shows the number of
complaints for which we were able to confirm the facts out of the total complaints about customer privacy
violation received.
<Secondary use of personal information>
Based on its 'Handling of Personal Information,' Sompo Japan appropriately handles acquired customer personal information within the scope of the purposes specified and identified in the policy. Such policies of not conducting unauthorized secondary use are not unique to Sompo Japan; similar policies are established individually by other Group companies as well. For details, please refer to the respective privacy policies of each company and service.
●Information security
Regarding the administrative action taken against Sompo Japan Insurance Inc. in March 2025 (FY2024) concerning the inappropriate handling of customer information, we are currently implementing comprehensive measures to prevent recurrence and strengthening our management framework based on the submitted business improvement plan. Furthermore, the Sompo Group received no new administrative actions from regulatory authorities during FY2025 arising from the leakage of personal information or other related incidents.
