Hitachi Zosen's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, Hitachi Zosen reported total carbon emissions of approximately 224,500,000 kg CO2e, comprising about 208,600,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and about 15,900,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions for this year. Over the years, Hitachi Zosen has shown a significant reduction in emissions. For instance, in 2021, their total emissions were about 265,600,000 kg CO2e, indicating a reduction of approximately 41,100,000 kg CO2e by 2022. This trend of decreasing emissions is notable, especially considering their Scope 1 emissions alone dropped from about 251,000,000 kg CO2e in 2021 to 208,600,000 kg CO2e in 2022. Despite these reductions, Hitachi Zosen has not set specific science-based targets or documented reduction initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The absence of formal reduction targets suggests a need for further strategic planning in their climate action efforts. Overall, while the company has made progress in reducing emissions, the lack of defined targets may limit their long-term climate impact.
