Itochu's reported carbon emissions
In 2024, Itochu reported global carbon emissions of approximately 1,766,000,000 kg CO2e, comprising 1,066,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 627,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. The company also disclosed significant Scope 3 emissions, including 947,000,000 kg CO2e from franchises and 506,000,000 kg CO2e from capital goods. In Japan, Itochu's emissions for 2024 were approximately 2,000,000 kg CO2e, all from Scope 2. This reflects a consistent trend in their operations, as they reported 6,000,000 kg CO2e in Scope 2 emissions for both 2022 and 2023. Over the years, Itochu has maintained a focus on reducing its carbon footprint, particularly in Scope 2 emissions, which have remained relatively stable. However, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives outlined in their climate commitments. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for further strategic planning in their sustainability efforts. Overall, Itochu's emissions data highlights the importance of addressing both direct and indirect emissions as part of their climate strategy, particularly as they navigate the complexities of global supply chains and operational impacts.
