Eisai

Eisai, a pharmaceutical preparation manufacturing company headquartered in Japan, has set ambitious climate commitments. For the fiscal year 2024, Eisai reported a total of approximately 902.2 million kg CO2e. This includes Scope 1 emissions of about 45.7 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 3.9 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions, primarily from purchased goods and services, amounting to about 825.4 million kg CO2e.

Looking at prior years, Eisai's total emissions in fiscal year 2023 were approximately 615.1 million kg CO2e, comprising Scope 1 at 48.6 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 2.7 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 (purchased goods and services) at 563.9 million kg CO2e. In fiscal year 2022, total emissions were around 695.2 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 47.5 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 6.1 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 (purchased goods and services) at 602.7 million kg CO2e. For fiscal year 2021, total emissions were approximately 601.1 million kg CO2e, including Scope 1 at 46.5 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 28.0 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 (purchased goods and services) at 521.8 million kg CO2e. In fiscal year 2020, total emissions were around 565.1 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 45.0 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 34.1 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 (purchased goods and services) at 486.1 million kg CO2e. Fiscal year 2019 saw total emissions of approximately 554.7 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 49.5 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 55.8 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 (purchased goods and services) at 456.4 million kg CO2e.

Eisai is committed to significant greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions. The company aims to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 55% by fiscal year 2030, using fiscal year 2019 as the base year. Furthermore, Eisai targets a reduction of 27.5% in Scope 3 emissions, specifically from purchased goods and services, within the same timeframe. Looking further ahead, Eisai has set a long-term goal to achieve Net-Zero emissions by 2050. These targets are aligned with science-based initiatives, with some Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) commitments indicating a 1.5°C pathway. Eisai's SBTi commitments include reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 55% by FY2030 from a FY2019 base year, and a 27.5% reduction in absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services within the same timeframe. The company's SBTi targets are confirmed as being on track for the near term.
