ASAHI INTECC CO., LTD.'s reported carbon emissions

Asahi Intecc Co., Ltd., headquartered in Japan, reported significant carbon emissions for the year 2023, totalling approximately 140,915,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes emissions from all three scopes: Scope 1 emissions were about 2,367,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions reached approximately 46,929,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions accounted for around 140,915,000 kg CO2e. In 2024, the company anticipates a slight increase in emissions, with projected Scope 1 emissions of about 2,490,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 48,009,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions expected to rise to around 172,463,000 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, Asahi Intecc has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented climate pledges or SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate commitments. Overall, while Asahi Intecc's emissions data reflects a growing trend, the lack of clear reduction strategies indicates an opportunity for the company to enhance its sustainability efforts in alignment with global climate goals.
