Hitachi's reported carbon emissions
In 2020, Hitachi reported total carbon emissions of approximately 72.4 million tonnes CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 1.22 million tonnes CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of around 2.09 million tonnes CO2e, and a significant contribution from Scope 3 emissions, which totalled approximately 69.05 million tonnes CO2e. Notably, the majority of Scope 3 emissions stemmed from the use of sold products, accounting for about 60.24 million tonnes CO2e. Despite the substantial emissions figures, there are currently no publicly disclosed reduction targets or initiatives from Hitachi aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of specific climate pledges or science-based targets indicates a potential area for improvement in their sustainability strategy. As a major player in the industry, Hitachi's commitment to addressing climate change will be crucial in aligning with global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
