Obayashi's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Obayashi reported carbon emissions primarily from Scope 3, specifically 314,100,000 kg CO2e related to the use of sold products. This marks a continuation of their emissions reporting, which has included comprehensive data across all scopes in previous years. In 2022, the company recorded total emissions of 4,143,000,000 kg CO2e, with 3,784,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 140,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and the remainder from various categories within Scope 3, including capital goods and purchased goods and services. Obayashi has made significant strides in emissions reduction at construction sites, achieving reductions of approximately 191,000 tonnes CO2e in 2020 and 186,000 tonnes CO2e in 2019. However, there are currently no specified reduction targets or climate pledges documented in their sustainability initiatives. Overall, while Obayashi has demonstrated a commitment to reducing emissions through operational efficiencies, the absence of formal reduction targets suggests an area for potential growth in their climate strategy.
