Hitachi

Hitachi, a Japanese electrical machinery and apparatus manufacturer, reported total emissions of approximately 206.42 billion kg CO2e in 2024. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of approximately 325 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 208 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 205.82 billion kg CO2e.

Hitachi has set several ambitious climate commitments. The company aims to achieve carbon neutrality throughout its value chain by fiscal year 2050, as part of its long-term Hitachi Environmental Innovation 2050 targets. Near-term targets include reducing Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 83% by fiscal year 2030 from a fiscal year 2019 base year. Additionally, Hitachi commits to reducing Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services and the use of sold products by 52% per billion JPY value added by fiscal year 2030 from a fiscal year 2022 base year. For the long term, Hitachi aims for a 90% absolute reduction in Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by fiscal year 2050 from a fiscal year 2019 base year, and a 97% reduction in Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services and the use of sold products per billion JPY value added by fiscal year 2050 from a fiscal year 2022 base year. These targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and are consistent with reductions required to keep warming to 1.5°C.
