Participation in Initiatives

TCFD

Sumitomo Warehouse expressed its support for the TCFD recommendations in July 2022. Based on the disclosure framework established by the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosure* (TCFD), we analyze the opportunities and risks posed by climate change to our business. We aim to reduce risks and expand business opportunities, while striving for proactive information disclosure. *The TCFD was disbanded in October 2023.
