Nippon Chemi-Con Corporation's reported carbon emissions

In 2021, Nippon Chemi-Con Corporation reported total carbon emissions of approximately 439,839,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 110,530,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 289,251,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalling around 4,083,000 kg CO2e. The Scope 3 emissions breakdown includes 806,000 kg CO2e from franchises, 12,000 kg CO2e from business travel, 1,133,000 kg CO2e from employee commuting, 305,000 kg CO2e from waste generated in operations, 467,000 kg CO2e from upstream transportation and distribution, and 1,780,000 kg CO2e from downstream transportation and distribution. Despite the significant emissions reported, Nippon Chemi-Con has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented climate pledges or Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) commitments suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. As the industry increasingly prioritises sustainability, it will be essential for Nippon Chemi-Con to establish clear commitments to reduce emissions in line with global climate goals.
