Daikin

Daikin, a Japanese company in the machinery and equipment sector, reported a total of approximately 313.09 billion kg CO2e for its 2024 emissions. This figure encompasses Scope 1, Scope 2 (market-based and location-based), and Scope 3 emissions.

Breaking down the 2024 emissions:

• Scope 1: Approximately 514 million kg CO2e.
• Scope 2: Approximately 366 million kg CO2e (market-based).
• Scope 3: Approximately 312.21 billion kg CO2e, with the largest contributions coming from the use of sold products (approximately 262.6 billion kg CO2e) and the end-of-life treatment of sold products (approximately 43.38 billion kg CO2e). Purchased goods and services accounted for approximately 4.62 billion kg CO2e.

In 2025, Daikin reported total emissions of approximately 283.4 billion kg CO2e. This includes:

• Scope 1: Approximately 513.7 million kg CO2e.
• Scope 2: Approximately 365.5 million kg CO2e (market-based).
• Scope 3: Approximately 280.77 billion kg CO2e, with the use of sold products being the largest component at approximately 234.56 billion kg CO2e, followed by the end-of-life treatment of sold products at approximately 41.69 billion kg CO2e.

Daikin has established several ambitious climate commitments and targets. The company aims to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by 2050, aligning with long-term global climate goals.

Near-term targets include:

• A commitment to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 46.2% by FY2031 from a FY2020 base year.
• A commitment to reduce Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions from the use of sold products and the end-of-life treatment of sold products by 55% per JPY value added within the same timeframe (by FY2031).
• Further, Daikin aims to reduce Scope 1 emissions by 30% and Scope 2 emissions by 25% from 2020 levels by 2030.
• Specific targets include aiming for near-zero Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2025.
• Daikin has also set a target to reduce net greenhouse gas emissions by 30% or more in 2025 and by 50% or more in 2030, using 2019 as the base year.
• For production activities, Daikin had previously set a target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 70% over fiscal 2005 levels by fiscal 2020, which they successfully achieved.
