In 2022, the company emitted approximately 4,700,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 1,230,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 4,500,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This reflects a comprehensive approach to measuring their carbon footprint across various operational scopes. In 2021, the total emissions were about 4,930,000,000 kg CO2e, with similar distributions across the three scopes. The trend shows a decrease from 2020, where emissions peaked at approximately 6,020,000,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a commitment to reducing their carbon impact over time. Despite these figures, Dai-ichi Life Insurance has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while the company is aware of its emissions, it may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate commitments. Overall, Dai-ichi Life Insurance's emissions data highlights the importance of ongoing efforts to address climate change within the insurance industry, as they navigate their path towards sustainability.
