Denso

DENSO, headquartered in Japan and operating in the Motor Vehicles, Trailers, and Semi-trailers industry, has reported its carbon emissions and climate commitments.

For 2025, DENSO's total emissions are approximately 35.05 billion kg CO2e. This includes Scope 1 emissions of about 306 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 4 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalling around 33.998 billion kg CO2e. Key categories within Scope 3 for 2025 include the use of sold products (about 20.78 billion kg CO2e) and purchased goods and services (approximately 9.63 billion kg CO2e).

Looking back, in 2024, DENSO's total emissions were approximately 35.03 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 342 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 at roughly 86 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at around 33.57 billion kg CO2e. For 2023, total emissions stood at approximately 36.64 billion kg CO2e, comprising Scope 1 emissions of about 368 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of roughly 206 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of around 34.85 billion kg CO2e.

DENSO has set several climate commitments. It aims for carbon neutrality at its plants by fiscal year 2036, which impacts Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, and intends to expand this throughout its supply chain. Furthermore, DENSO has a long-term target of achieving overall carbon neutrality by fiscal year 2051 for Scope 3 emissions.

Regarding specific reduction targets, DENSO is committed to a 50% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions by fiscal year 2030, using a fiscal year 2020 base year. This target is considered consistent with reductions required to keep warming to 1.5°C by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company also aims to increase its active annual sourcing of renewable electricity from 0.6% in fiscal year 2020 to 100% by fiscal year 2025 through fiscal year 2030. Additionally, DENSO commits to reducing absolute Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions from purchased goods and services and use of sold products by 25% by fiscal year 2030, also from a fiscal year 2020 base year, as verified by SBTi.

DENSO reported achieving a 50% reduction in Scope 1 CO2 emissions by fiscal year 2024 compared to fiscal year 2021, meeting its target. It also aims for a 50% reduction in CO2 from mobility products by 2025 compared with fiscal year 2021 for Scope 3 emissions.
