Japan Credit Rating Agency's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Japan Credit Rating Agency (JCR) reported total carbon emissions of approximately 33,705,000,000 kg CO2e, comprising Scope 1 emissions of about 11,235,000,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of about 11,235,000,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions also at approximately 11,235,000,000 kg CO2e. The agency has consistently disclosed emissions across all three scopes since 2019, with significant emissions recorded in previous years, including 2,612,458,000 kg CO2e in 2020 and 1,585,481,000 kg CO2e in 2021. Despite the substantial emissions figures, JCR has not established specific reduction targets or climate pledges, indicating a lack of formalised commitments to reduce their carbon footprint. The absence of documented reduction initiatives suggests that while emissions data is available, proactive measures to mitigate climate impact may not yet be in place. As the agency continues to report its emissions, it remains crucial for JCR to consider setting ambitious targets aligned with global climate goals to enhance its sustainability profile.
