Agc's reported carbon emissions

AGC Inc., headquartered in Japan, has set ambitious climate commitments and reported significant greenhouse gas emissions data. For the reporting year 2024, AGC's total absolute emissions were approximately 16,273,000,000 kg CO2e, encompassing Scope 1, 2, and 3. Specifically, Scope 1 emissions were about 5,781,000,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based) amounted to approximately 4,132,000,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalled approximately 6,860,000,000 kg CO2e. AGC is committed to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. This long-term goal is supported by nearer-term targets, including a commitment to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 30% by 2030, compared to a 2019 baseline. Additionally, the company aims for a 50% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions intensity per unit of sales over the same period. AGC also targets a 30% reduction in specific Scope 3 categories (purchased goods and services, processing, use, and end-of-life treatment of sold products) by 2030 from 2019 levels, acknowledging that these categories represent approximately 70% of their Scope 3 emissions and require value chain collaboration. These targets are aligned with Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) standards, with AGC Inc. committing to emissions reductions consistent with keeping warming to Well-below 2°C. The company also aims to have 30% of its suppliers, representing purchased goods and services and fuel and energy-related activities, adopt science-based targets by FY2027.
