Denka's reported carbon emissions

Denka, headquartered in Japan, has outlined ambitious climate commitments. For Scope 1 and 2 emissions, the company aims for a 60% reduction by 2030, using 2013 as a baseline year. The ultimate goal is to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. Denka also plans to actively collaborate with business partners and local governments to reduce Scope 3 emissions within its supply chain. In terms of recent emissions, for the reporting year 2024, Denka reported approximately 1.37 billion kg CO2e for Scope 1 emissions and about 400 million kg CO2e for Scope 2 emissions, resulting in combined Scope 1 and 2 emissions of approximately 1.77 billion kg CO2e. Looking at prior years: * In 2023, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 1.39 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions were around 360 million kg CO2e, totalling about 1.75 billion kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 2. * For 2022, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 1.56 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 2 emissions at about 480 million kg CO2e, for a combined total of approximately 2.04 billion kg CO2e. * In 2021, Scope 1 emissions were around 1.62 billion kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions were approximately 530 million kg CO2e, amounting to about 2.15 billion kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 2. * The company reported approximately 1.51 billion kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 430 million kg CO2e for Scope 2 in 2020, with a combined total of approximately 1.94 billion kg CO2e. * In 2019, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 1.67 billion kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions were about 510 million kg CO2e, leading to a combined Scope 1 and 2 total of approximately 2.18 billion kg CO2e. * For 2018, Denka reported Scope 3 emissions totalling approximately 1.31 billion kg CO2e, including about 670 million kg CO2e for purchased goods and services. * In 2017, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 1.82 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions were around 1 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions were approximately 607 million kg CO2e. * For 2016, the company reported Scope 1 emissions of approximately 1.735 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of about 483 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 1.058 billion kg CO2e. * In 2015, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 1.856 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions were about 558 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions were approximately 1.079 billion kg CO2e. * For 2014, Denka's total emissions were approximately 1.32 billion kg CO2e, with specific Scope 1 and 2 data not disclosed for this year. * In 2013, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 1.98 billion kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions were about 490 million kg CO2e, resulting in combined Scope 1 and 2 emissions of approximately 2.47 billion kg CO2e. * For 2012, total emissions were approximately 1.33 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 and 2 data not disclosed. Denka's reporting indicates a focus on Scope 1 and 2 emissions reduction efforts, with Scope 3 data being less comprehensively reported in recent years, particularly for purchased goods and services. The company's commitment to carbon neutrality by 2050 is supported by its interim target of a 60% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030 from 2013 levels.
