Ito En's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Ito En reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,487,000,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 30,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 29,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and a significant 1,427,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The previous year, 2022, saw total emissions of about 1,495,000,000 kg CO2e, indicating a slight reduction in emissions. Over the years, Ito En's emissions have fluctuated, with total emissions peaking at approximately 1,552,000,000 kg CO2e in 2021. The company has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges, which suggests a need for further commitment in this area. The breakdown of emissions shows that the majority of their carbon footprint arises from Scope 3 emissions, particularly from purchased goods and services, which accounted for about 471,000,000 kg CO2e in 2021. This highlights the importance of addressing supply chain emissions in their climate strategy. Overall, while Ito En has made some progress in reducing its carbon emissions, the absence of formal reduction targets indicates an opportunity for the company to enhance its climate commitments and align with industry standards for sustainability.
