Benesse's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Benesse reported total carbon emissions of approximately 164,507,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 73,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 3,016,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and about 161,418,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. Comparatively, in 2022, the company recorded total emissions of around 194,558,000 kg CO2e, indicating a reduction of about 30,051,000 kg CO2e year-on-year. This trend of decreasing emissions is notable, especially considering the significant Scope 3 emissions, which typically represent the largest share of a company's carbon footprint. Despite these reductions, Benesse has not publicly committed to specific science-based targets or climate pledges, nor have they outlined any formal reduction initiatives. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while the company is making progress in reducing emissions, there may be opportunities for more structured climate commitments in the future.
