Aeon has set several climate commitments. The company aims to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 46.2% by 2030 from a 2019 base year, a target validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Additionally, Aeon commits to reducing total CO2 emissions from its stores by 35% by 2030, compared to 2010 levels for both Scope 1 and Scope 2.

For its Japanese shopping centres and general merchandise stores, Aeon plans to achieve 100% renewable energy for Scope 2 emissions by 2030 and zero aggregate CO2 emissions from stores by 2040 for Scope 1.
