Symetra Financial Corporation's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Sumitomo Life Insurance Company

Symetra Financial Corporation, headquartered in the US, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data for the most recent year, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The company is a current subsidiary of Sumitomo Life Insurance Company, which may influence its climate-related initiatives and reporting. While Symetra has not established specific reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), it is important to note that its climate strategy may be informed by the broader sustainability efforts of its parent company. The emissions data and performance metrics are cascaded from Sumitomo Life Insurance Company, which operates at a higher corporate level. As of now, Symetra's climate commitments and reduction initiatives remain unspecified, reflecting a potential area for future development in their environmental strategy. The company is positioned within an industry increasingly focused on sustainability, and it may benefit from aligning its practices with established climate frameworks and targets.
