This total includes 514 million kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 366 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 (market-based), and approximately 312.21 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. A significant portion of Scope 3 emissions in 2024 comes from the use of sold products (approximately 262.6 billion kg CO2e) and end-of-life treatment of sold products (approximately 43.38 billion kg CO2e).
Looking ahead to 2025, projected Scope 1 emissions are about 513.74 million kg CO2e, with Scope 2 (market-based) at approximately 365.51 million kg CO2e. Estimated Scope 3 emissions for 2025 include approximately 234.56 billion kg CO2e from the use of sold products and around 41.69 billion kg CO2e from the end-of-life treatment of sold products.
Daikin, headquartered in Japan and operating in the Machinery and equipment sector, has set several ambitious climate commitments. The company aims for net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its entire value chain by fiscal year 2050, as recognised by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
Near-term SBTi targets for Daikin Industries, Ltd. include reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 46.2% by fiscal year 2031 from a fiscal year 2020 base year. Additionally, the company commits to reducing Scope 3 GHG emissions from the use of sold products and end-of-life treatment of sold products by 55% per JPY value added within the same timeframe. These targets are classified as consistent with a 1.5°C global warming limit.
Other commitments include achieving carbon neutrality for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2030, and reducing net greenhouse gas emissions from internal business activities by 30% or more in 2025 and 50% or more in 2030, compared to a 2019 baseline (business as usual scenario).
