東アフリカ原油パイプライン（EACOP）事業による三井住友銀行への重大なリスクについて

The document argues that SMBC's role as a financial advisor and lead arranger for the EACOP project contradicts its own environmental and human rights commitments. It highlights risks including human rights abuses, biodiversity loss, and the potential for the pipeline to become a stranded asset in a net-zero transition. The authors warn that continuing this support could lead to greenwashing accusations, legal liability for directors under Japanese law, and severe reputational damage, especially as other global financial institutions withdraw their support.

• SMBC faces significant financial and legal risks, including the possibility of the pipeline becoming a stranded asset as the world moves toward the IEA's 'Net Zero by 2050' scenario, and potential lawsuits regarding human rights violations and greenwashing.
