Harmonic Drive Systems's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Harmonic Drive Systems reported total carbon emissions of approximately 6,613,783,000 kg CO2e globally, with Scope 1 emissions at about 209,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at approximately 18,650,000 kg CO2e. The Scope 3 emissions were significant, totalling around 893,286,000 kg CO2e, which includes categories such as capital goods and the use of sold products. In Japan, the company recorded Scope 1 emissions of about 81,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of approximately 9,839,000 kg CO2e for the same year. Over the years, Harmonic Drive Systems has shown a trend of fluctuating emissions. For instance, in 2022, global emissions were about 2,390,130,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions at approximately 342,000 kg CO2e and 16,942,000 kg CO2e, respectively. However, there are currently no specific reduction targets or climate pledges disclosed by the company, indicating a potential area for improvement in their climate commitments. Overall, while Harmonic Drive Systems has made strides in tracking emissions across all scopes, the absence of defined reduction initiatives suggests a need for more robust climate action strategies moving forward.
