Dentsu

Dentsu, an Advertising Agencies company based in JP, reported total carbon emissions of about 319.7 million kg CO2e in 2025. This includes approximately 3.38 million kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 7.55 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 (market-based), and 308.78 million kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions.

The company has set several climate commitments. Dentsu aims for net-zero GHG emissions across its value chain by 2040, covering Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. As part of its near-term goals, Dentsu commits to a 46.2% absolute reduction in Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2030, compared to a 2019 baseline. The company also aims to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, business travel, and employee commuting by 46.2% within the same timeframe.

For long-term targets, Dentsu Group Inc. commits to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90% by 2040 from a 2019 baseline, and similarly aims for a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 2040. These targets have been verified by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Dentsu also has an older SBTi commitment to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 24% by 2030 from a 2014 base-year, and to reduce business travel GHG emissions per employee by 25% between 2015 and 2050.
