Create Social Value
SMBC Group has selected five priority issues (materialities) to be proactively addressed: "Environment," "DE&I / Human Rights," "Poverty & Inequality," "Declining Birthrate & Aging Population," and "Japan's Regrowth."
Through our dedicated efforts to address these materialities, we aim to create social value and contribute to the realization of "Fulfilled Growth."

Towards the Realization of "Fulfilled Growth"
Following the era of high economic growth in Japan and the subsequent period of stagnation marked by the struggle to overcome deflation in the post-bubble economy era, the world is now facing increasingly severe social issues such as climate change, violation of human rights, poverty and inequality.
SMBC Group, inheriting the business spirit of its origins in Mitsui and Sumitomo, has established its management philosophy to contribute to the realization of a sustainable society through the resolution of social issues. Furthermore, in our Medium-Term Management Plan "Plan for Fulfilled Growth" starting from FY2023, we have positioned creating social value as a core pillar of our management strategy.
United as one, SMBC Group is committed to creating social value. We will contribute to build a world where social issues are resolved as the global economy grows, and where everyone can experience more fulfillment in life.
