East Japan Railway has set long-term climate commitments, including aiming for net-zero CO2 emissions across all scopes by fiscal year 2051 for its railway business. This is part of their "Zero Carbon Challenge 2050" initiative. The company also aims to achieve a 40% reduction in CO2 emissions from railway operations (Scope 1 and 2) by 2031, compared to a 2014 baseline. Additionally, East Japan Railway targets a 30% reduction in Scope 1 emissions and Scope 2 emissions by 2030, compared to a 2020 baseline. The company was committed to a near-term Science Based Target initiative (SBTi) target, but this commitment has since been removed.
