Renesas Electronics

Renesas Electronics, headquartered in Japan and operating within the electrical machinery and apparatus industry, reported a total of approximately 2.49 billion kg CO2e in emissions for the year 2023. This figure encompasses Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. Of this total, Scope 1 emissions accounted for approximately 156.4 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions were about 647.7 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions constituted the largest portion at approximately 1.42 billion kg CO2e, primarily driven by purchased goods and services.

In 2024, Renesas Electronics' total emissions were approximately 2.24 billion kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were around 125.4 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions were about 642.6 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions were approximately 1.47 billion kg CO2e.

Renesas Electronics has set a near-term climate target to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from business activities (Scope 1 and 2) by 38% by 2030, using 2021 as the base year. They also aim for carbon neutrality for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2040. Furthermore, Renesas Electronics commits that by 2026, 70% of its suppliers, based on purchased goods and services emissions, will have their own emission reduction targets. These commitments are validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), which confirms their Scope 1 and 2 targets are consistent with a 1.5°C warming scenario.
