In 2022, total emissions were approximately 176.9 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 around 139.3 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 194.9 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at about 176.57 billion kg CO2e. For 2021, total emissions were approximately 179.9 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 154.5 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 at around 209.5 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at approximately 179.57 billion kg CO2e. In 2020, total emissions were approximately 56.88 billion kg CO2e, comprising around 202.2 million kg CO2e for Scope 1, about 234.8 million kg CO2e for Scope 2, and approximately 56.45 billion kg CO2e for Scope 3.

Fuji Electric is committed to achieving carbon neutrality throughout its supply chain by 2050. Furthermore, they have set ambitious reduction targets, including a commitment to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 46.2% by FY2031, using FY2020 as a base year. This commitment extends to Scope 3 GHG emissions, with a target to reduce absolute emissions from various categories, including purchased goods and services, capital goods, and the use of sold products, by 46.2% within the same timeframe.

The company has also announced its intention to raise its fiscal 2030 reduction target to over 46% compared to fiscal 2013 levels for both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, and is actively studying specific measures to achieve this. Additional site-specific reduction targets include a 25% reduction in emissions from the Tokyo Factory between FY2020 and FY2024, and a 20% reduction for the Saitama prefecture Fukiage Factory between FY2020 and FY2024. They also aim for an annual reduction of 1.71% in emissions at their Shenzhen facility between FY2021 and FY2025.
