The Japanese Institute of Certified Public Accountants (CPA Profession) has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming to significantly reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. Although specific emissions data for the most recent year is not available, the organisation has established a target to reduce its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 42% by 2030, using 2022 as the base year. This target has been validated through a streamlined process designed for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and aligns with the necessary reductions to limit global warming to 1.5°C. In addition to its focus on Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, the CPA Profession is also committed to measuring and reducing its Scope 3 emissions, which encompass indirect emissions from its value chain. These initiatives reflect a proactive approach to climate action within the professional services sector in Japan, demonstrating a commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility.
Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.
Cpa Profession is committed to some reduction initiatives we track. This may change over time as the company engages with new initiatives or updates its commitments. DitchCarbon will update this information as it becomes available.
