Japan Aerospace
Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, is a leading entity in the aerospace industry, renowned for its innovative contributions to space exploration and satellite technology. Founded in 2003, JAXA emerged from the merger of three organisations, marking a significant milestone in Japan's commitment to advancing aerospace research and development. JAXA's core services encompass satellite development, space missions, and Earth observation, distinguished by their cutting-edge technology and collaborative international projects. The agency has achieved notable successes, including the Hayabusa asteroid missions and participation in the International Space Station programme, solidifying its position as a key player in global aerospace initiatives. With a focus on sustainable space exploration, JAXA continues to push the boundaries of science and technology, contributing to both national and international advancements in the field.

Japan Aerospace's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, Japan Aerospace reported total carbon emissions of approximately 65,200,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 250,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 812,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3. This reflects a slight increase in Scope 1 emissions compared to 2021, where emissions were about 60,500,000 kg CO2e, while Scope 2 emissions rose from 220,000 kg CO2e and Scope 3 emissions increased from 287,000 kg CO2e. Over the past few years, Japan Aerospace has shown fluctuations in its emissions profile. For instance, in 2020, the company recorded approximately 62,134,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 502,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 458,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3. The highest Scope 1 emissions were noted in 2019, at about 77,955,000 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, Japan Aerospace has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing its carbon footprint. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for enhanced climate commitments within the aerospace sector, particularly as global pressures for sustainability increase.
