The Scope 3 emissions breakdown reveals that the use of sold products accounted for the largest share, with about 1,775,700,000 kg CO2e. Comparatively, in 2022, the company’s total emissions were approximately 2,976,000,000 kg CO2e, indicating a reduction of about 1,139,000,000 kg CO2e year-on-year. The Scope 1 and 2 emissions remained relatively stable, with Scope 1 at about 400,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at approximately 1,900,000 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, Hosokawa Micron has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, nor are there any initiatives reported under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company’s emissions data is self-reported and does not cascade from a parent organisation, ensuring that the figures reflect its direct operations. Overall, while Hosokawa Micron has made strides in reducing its emissions, the absence of formal reduction targets suggests an opportunity for further commitment to climate action.
