Honda's reported carbon emissions

In 2024, Honda reported total carbon emissions of approximately 270,530,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 1,070,000,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions at around 2,070,000,000 kg CO2e, and a significant 267,390,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions, which includes 212,200,000,000 kg CO2e from the use of sold products. This data reflects a comprehensive approach to emissions reporting, covering all three scopes. Honda has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. The company plans to reduce total CO2 emissions by 46% from FY2020 levels by 2030. Additionally, Honda aims to halve total corporate CO2 emissions by 2050 compared to 2000 levels across all scopes, including Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. In 2023, Honda's global emissions were approximately 288,230,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 1,090,000,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at around 2,730,000,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions at approximately 284,410,000,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a slight increase in total emissions compared to 2022, when emissions were about 280,020,000,000 kg CO2e. Honda's commitment to sustainability is further demonstrated through its initiatives to reduce emissions intensity per unit of production by 10% by FY2017, using FY2009 as a baseline. The company continues to explore strategies to achieve its long-term carbon neutrality goals, reflecting a proactive stance in addressing climate change.
