Agc

AGC, a Japanese glass and glass products manufacturer, reported Scope 1 and 2 emissions of approximately 9.6 billion kg CO2e in 2025. In 2024, the company's Scope 1 emissions were 5.781 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (market-based) were 4.132 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalled 6.86 billion kg CO2e. This includes 3.738 billion kg CO2e from purchased goods and services, 1.471 billion kg CO2e from the use of sold products, 1.168 billion kg CO2e from end-of-life treatment of sold products, and 483 million kg CO2e from upstream transportation and distribution.

AGC has set several climate commitments. The company aims for net-zero carbon emissions for Scope 1 and Scope 2 by 2050. Near-term targets include a 30% absolute reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 2030, from a 2019 base year. Additionally, AGC targets a 30% reduction in Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, processing of sold products, use of sold products, and end-of-life treatment of sold products within the same timeframe (2019-2030). These targets are validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and are classified as consistent with reductions required to keep warming to well-below 2°C. AGC also commits that 30% of its suppliers, by emissions covering purchased goods and services and fuel and energy-related activities, will have science-based targets by FY2027.
