This reflects a significant commitment to transparency in their carbon footprint across various operational scopes. In 2022, the company recorded total emissions of about 958,084,000 kg CO2e, with 751,233,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 206,851,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2. The Scope 3 emissions for that year were reported at approximately 23,414,411,000 kg CO2e, indicating a substantial impact from their value chain activities. Despite these figures, Sojitz has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. This lack of formal commitments may reflect an opportunity for the company to enhance its sustainability strategy and align with global climate goals. Overall, while Sojitz demonstrates a clear understanding of its emissions profile, the absence of defined reduction targets suggests a need for further action in addressing climate change and enhancing its environmental responsibility.
