Daiichi Sankyo

Daiichi Sankyo, headquartered in Japan and operating in the Medical, precision and optical instruments, watches and clocks industry, reported total carbon emissions of approximately 4.28 billion kg CO2e in 2024. This figure comprises about 91.8 million kg CO2e from Scope 1, 24.5 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 (market-based), and approximately 4.16 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions.

In the previous year, 2023, the company's total emissions were roughly 4.52 billion kg CO2e, including around 85.2 million kg CO2e for Scope 1, 24 million kg CO2e for Scope 2 (market-based), and approximately 4.41 billion kg CO2e for Scope 3. This indicates a decrease in total emissions from 2023 to 2024.

Daiichi Sankyo has set ambitious climate commitments. The company has a long-term goal to achieve net-zero GHG emissions across its entire value chain by fiscal year 2050, with a commitment to obtaining net-zero certification for its "Transition Plan for Climate Change."

In terms of near-term Science Based Targets (SBTi), Daiichi Sankyo commits to reducing absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 63% by fiscal year 2030 from a fiscal year 2015 base year. This target is consistent with reductions required to keep global warming to 1.5°C. Additionally, the company aims to increase its active sourcing of renewable electricity from 4.73% in fiscal year 2015 to 100% by fiscal year 2030. Daiichi Sankyo also pledges that 70.6% of its suppliers, by emissions covering purchased goods and services, capital goods, and upstream transportation and distribution, will have science-based targets by fiscal year 2030.

For long-term net-zero targets, also validated by SBTi, Daiichi Sankyo commits to reducing absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 90% by fiscal year 2040 from a fiscal year 2015 base year. Furthermore, the company aims to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 90% by fiscal year 2050 from a fiscal year 2020 base year.
