Japan Credit Rating Agency's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, Japan Credit Rating Agency (JCR) reported total carbon emissions of approximately 744,000,000 kg CO2e. This figure reflects a slight increase from 2021, when emissions were about 722,000,000 kg CO2e, and a notable decrease from 2019's emissions of approximately 845,000,000 kg CO2e. The agency has not disclosed specific data regarding Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions, nor has it set any formal reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Despite the lack of specific climate commitments or reduction targets, JCR's emissions data indicates a general trend of fluctuating emissions over the past few years. The absence of a structured climate pledge or reduction initiatives suggests that JCR may be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. As the agency continues to assess its environmental impact, future commitments may emerge to align with global climate goals.
