This marks a notable increase in emissions compared to previous years, particularly in Scope 3, which has consistently represented the largest portion of their carbon footprint. In 2022, the company recorded total emissions of about 40,653,930 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 4,101,570 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at 781,460 kg CO2e. The trend indicates a significant reliance on Scope 3 emissions, which are often linked to the supply chain and product use. Ihara has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. This lack of formal commitments may reflect a broader industry context where many companies are still developing comprehensive strategies to address climate change. Overall, while Ihara's emissions data highlights the scale of their carbon footprint, the absence of clear reduction targets suggests an opportunity for the company to enhance its climate commitments and align with industry standards for sustainability.
