Aica Kogyo

Aica Kogyo, a chemicals nec company based in Japan, is committed to reducing its environmental impact. For the reporting year 2023, the company reported total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of approximately 666.1 million kg CO2e. This includes Scope 1 emissions of about 65.5 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 82.5 million kg CO2e, and substantial Scope 3 emissions totalling around 518.2 million kg CO2e. Key contributors to their Scope 3 emissions in 2023 included purchased goods and services (approximately 402.7 million kg CO2e) and the end-of-life treatment of sold products (about 79.1 million kg CO2e).

Looking ahead, Aica Kogyo has set several climate commitments. The company aims to achieve carbon neutrality for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2050, as well as conduct simulations and develop measures for net-zero GHG emissions by the same year. In the nearer term, they are targeting a 14% reduction in Scope 1 emissions from FY2022 levels by 2026 and a 30% reduction in Scope 2 emissions from FY2022 levels by 2030. Aica Kogyo also plans to set Scope 3 emission reduction targets and formulate reduction measures by FY2026. Additionally, they have a near-term goal to reduce GHG emissions revenue intensity by 10% by FY2023, compared to FY2020 levels for both Scope 1 and Scope 2.
