Bridgestone

Bridgestone Corporation, a key player in the rubber and plastic products industry headquartered in Japan, has reported a total of approximately 106.5 billion kg CO2e in emissions for 2024. This figure encompasses Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. Breaking this down, Scope 1 emissions were about 1.5 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (market-based) were approximately 332 million kg CO2e, and the substantial portion, Scope 3 emissions, amounted to around 92.9 billion kg CO2e.

In 2023, Bridgestone reported total emissions of approximately 99.2 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 1.5 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based) at approximately 377 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at about 99.2 billion kg CO2e.

Bridgestone has set ambitious climate commitments. The company aims to reduce its absolute CO2 emissions (Scope 1 and 2) by 50% by 2030, using 2011 as a baseline year. Furthermore, Bridgestone is committed to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. They have also committed to reducing their absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 28% by 2030, against a 2019 baseline, as validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). In addition to this, Bridgestone is working towards ensuring that 92% of its suppliers, by emissions for purchased goods and services, have science-based targets by 2026. For value chain emissions (Scope 3), Bridgestone targets contributing to reducing emissions more than five times the total of Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2030, with 2020 as the base year.
