Bridgestone

Bridgestone, a Japanese company in the rubber and plastic products industry, reported total emissions of approximately 94.7 billion kg CO2e in 2024. This includes Scope 1 emissions of approximately 1.5 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions of about 332.2 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of around 92.9 billion kg CO2e. Key Scope 3 categories in 2024 were processing of sold products (about 78.2 billion kg CO2e), purchased goods and services (approximately 10.2 billion kg CO2e), and use of sold products (about 1.6 billion kg CO2e).

Bridgestone has set several climate commitments. They aim to reduce their absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 28% by 2030 from a 2019 base year, a target classified as "Well-below 2°C" by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Additionally, 92% of their suppliers by emissions covering purchased goods and services are committed to having science-based targets by 2026. Beyond SBTi, Bridgestone aims for carbon neutrality by 2050, with a mid-term target to reduce total Scope 1 and 2 CO2 emissions by 50% or more by 2030 compared to 2011 levels. The company also set a target to contribute to reducing more than five times the total of Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2030 (compared to a 2020 base year) throughout the lifecycle of their products, services, and solutions.
