Idemitsu Kosan has disclosed emissions across all three scopes, demonstrating transparency in its reporting. However, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives outlined in their climate commitments. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while the company is actively monitoring its emissions, it may not yet have formalised strategies for significant reductions in line with global climate goals. Overall, Idemitsu Kosan's emissions data reflects its substantial carbon footprint, particularly in Scope 3 emissions, which are critical for understanding the full impact of its operations on climate change.
