Citizen Watch Co's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Citizen Watch Co reported total emissions of approximately 110,816,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 2 combined. This marks a significant reduction from previous years, with emissions decreasing from about 123,156,000 kg CO2e in 2022. The company has shown a consistent effort to lower its carbon footprint, with emissions in 2021 recorded at approximately 148,314,000 kg CO2e globally. Citizen Watch Co's emissions data indicates a focus on Scope 1 and 2 emissions, which encompass direct emissions from owned or controlled sources and indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, steam, heating, and cooling. However, there is no available data on Scope 3 emissions, which typically include all other indirect emissions that occur in a company's value chain. Despite the positive trend in emissions reduction, Citizen Watch Co has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, such as those outlined by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This lack of formal climate pledges suggests that while the company is making strides in reducing its emissions, there may be opportunities for more structured commitments to enhance its climate strategy. Overall, Citizen Watch Co's emissions data reflects a proactive approach to climate action, with a notable decrease in emissions over recent years, although further transparency and commitment to reduction targets could strengthen its environmental impact.
