In 2023, JR East's Scope 1 emissions were approximately 1520000000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions were approximately 1270000000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalled approximately 3160000000 kg CO2e, resulting in a total of approximately 6000000000 kg CO2e. The previous year, 2022, saw Scope 1 emissions of approximately 1510000000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of approximately 1250000000 kg CO2e, with Scope 3 data not disclosed for that year. In 2021, the company reported total emissions of approximately 4486017000 kg CO2e, comprising Scope 1 emissions of approximately 139084000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 1421592000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 2925342000 kg CO2e. JR East has established several climate commitments. They aim for net zero CO2 emissions by fiscal 2051, covering both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. Furthermore, the company is pursuing a reduction of CO2 emissions by 40% in railway operations by FY2031, compared to FY2014 levels. As part of their near-term goals, JR East aims to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 30% from a 2020 baseline by 2030. Initiatives to achieve these targets include the installation of power storage facilities, increased self-consumption of renewable energy, and the expanded introduction of their E235 series trains.
