Japan Credit Rating Agency's reported carbon emissions
In 2025, Japan Credit Rating Agency (JCR) reported a CO2 emissions factor of approximately 0.00442 kg CO2e per tonne mile under Scope 1 emissions. This figure reflects their operational efficiency in carbon emissions related to transportation. For the previous years, the emissions factors were approximately 0.00459 kg CO2e per tonne mile in 2024, 0.00475 kg CO2e per tonne mile in 2023, 0.00492 kg CO2e per tonne mile in 2022, and 0.00449 kg CO2e per tonne mile in 2021. Currently, JCR has not disclosed specific reduction targets or significant climate commitments, indicating a potential area for future development in their sustainability strategy. The absence of detailed emissions data across Scope 1, 2, and 3 suggests that JCR may be in the early stages of formalising their climate action plans. As the agency continues to evolve, establishing clear reduction targets and enhancing transparency in emissions reporting will be crucial for aligning with global climate goals.
