Japan Aerospace's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, Japan Aerospace reported total carbon emissions of approximately 65,200,000 kg CO2e, comprising 65,200,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 250,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 812,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This marked a slight increase from 2021, where emissions were about 60,500,000 kg CO2e in Scope 1, 220,000 kg CO2e in Scope 2, and 287,000 kg CO2e in Scope 3. Over the years, Japan Aerospace has demonstrated a commitment to reducing its carbon footprint, with emissions decreasing from approximately 77,955,000 kg CO2e in 2019 to 65,200,000 kg CO2e in 2022. However, there are currently no specific reduction targets or climate pledges disclosed, indicating a potential area for future commitment in line with industry standards for climate action. Overall, Japan Aerospace's emissions profile reflects ongoing efforts to manage and reduce carbon emissions, although further initiatives and targets would enhance their climate strategy.
