Dai-ichi Life Holdings, Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Dai-ichi Life Holdings, Inc. reported total carbon emissions of approximately 42,700,000 kg CO2e, with emissions classified under Scope 1. Notably, there were no reported emissions for Scope 2 and Scope 3 categories during this period. In contrast, the company’s 2022 emissions data indicated significant Scope 3 emissions, totalling approximately 294,647,000 kg CO2e, primarily from capital goods. Dai-ichi Life has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for further clarity on their long-term sustainability strategies. The company operates within a global context where financial institutions are increasingly held accountable for their carbon footprints, particularly in Scope 3 emissions, which often represent the largest share of total emissions for such organisations. Overall, while Dai-ichi Life has made strides in reporting its emissions, the lack of defined reduction targets highlights an area for potential improvement in its climate strategy.
