This figure encompasses Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. Scope 3 emissions constituted the vast majority, at approximately 33.99 billion kg CO2e, with purchased goods and services and use of sold products being the largest contributors. Scope 1 emissions were approximately 306 million kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions were approximately 4 million kg CO2e.

In 2024, DENSO's total emissions were approximately 35.03 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 3 emissions at approximately 9.90 billion kg CO2e, Scope 1 at approximately 342 million kg CO2e, and Scope 2 at approximately 86 million kg CO2e. For 2023, total emissions were around 36.64 billion kg CO2e, including Scope 3 at approximately 10.30 billion kg CO2e, Scope 1 at approximately 368 million kg CO2e, and Scope 2 at approximately 206 million kg CO2e.

DENSO has set a near-term Science Based Target (SBTi) to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 50% by FY2030 from a FY2020 base year. They also commit to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services and the use of sold products by 25% by FY2030 from the same base year. Additionally, DENSO aims to increase its sourcing of renewable electricity to 100% by FY2025.

Longer-term, DENSO aims to achieve carbon neutrality in its plants by fiscal year 2036 and to expand this carbon neutrality throughout its supply chain. The broader DENSO Group has a goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2035. Another long-term target is to achieve carbon neutrality by fiscal year 2051.

In a notable achievement, DENSO reduced its Scope 1 CO2 emissions by 50% compared to fiscal year 2021, meeting its fiscal year 2024 target for a 50% reduction in this scope. The company also has a near-term target for a 50% reduction in CO2 for mobility products compared to fiscal year 2021, aiming for completion by 2025. Furthermore, a long-term target is to reduce Scope 1 emissions by 25% by FY2031 compared to fiscal year 2021, aligning with a well-below 2°C trajectory.
