ESG Data

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

FY2024:Added “Chlorofluorohydrocarbon leakage.”

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 Category Activity items subject to calculation
Scope 1 Direct emissions City gas, LPG, gasoline, diesel oil, class A heavy oil, kerosene, fluorocarbon leakage, LNG, lubricating oil
Scope 2 Indirect emissions from energy sources Electricity, heat
Scope 3 Category1 Purchased goods & services Water supply and wastewater, office paper and printed materials
Category3 Fuel- and energy-related activities not included in Scope 1 and 2 City gas, LPG, gasoline, diesel oil, class A heavy oil, kerosene, LNG, electricity, heat
Category4 Upstream transportation & distribution Mail, shipping via courier services (parcel delivery, motorcycle couriers, etc. excluding postal mail)
Category5 Waste generated in operations Industrial waste, general waste
Category6 Business travel Domestic sales and business travel, international business travel
Category7 Employee commuting Bus, train, private car
Category15 Investments (equities) Listed equity
Investments (bonds) Publicly traded corporate bonds
  • Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 (Categories 1, 3, 6, and 7) greenhouse gas emissions measurements include some estimated values.

●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.

●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.
