Central Japan Railway's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, Central Japan Railway reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,705,000 kg CO2e, which included 137,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 1,569,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 1,248,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The company has not disclosed emissions data for 2023, and there are no specific reduction targets or climate pledges outlined in their reports. Over the years, Central Japan Railway has shown a commitment to monitoring and reporting its carbon footprint, but it currently lacks defined reduction initiatives or targets, such as those aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of such commitments may reflect a broader industry context where many companies are increasingly pressured to set ambitious climate goals. As the railway sector continues to evolve, Central Japan Railway's future climate strategies will be crucial in addressing its environmental impact and aligning with global sustainability efforts.
