In 2024, Japan Display reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,127,440,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 68,448,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 208,455,000 kg CO2e, and significant Scope 3 emissions totalling around 850,536,000 kg CO2e. The Scope 3 emissions breakdown reveals major contributions from purchased goods and services (about 377,965,000 kg CO2e) and the use of sold products (approximately 313,695,000 kg CO2e). In 2023, the company’s total emissions were about 1,454,168,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at approximately 76,966,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at around 243,242,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions reaching about 1,133,961,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a slight decrease in total emissions from 2022, where emissions were reported at approximately 1,603,425,000 kg CO2e. Japan Display has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as per the available data. The company does not appear to have cascaded emissions data from a parent organisation, and all reported figures are derived directly from Japan Display Inc. Overall, Japan Display's emissions profile highlights the significant impact of Scope 3 emissions, particularly from upstream activities, which underscores the importance of addressing supply chain emissions in their climate strategy.

Japan Display's Scope 3 emissions, which decreased by 25% last year and decreased by approximately 31% since 2021, demonstrating supply chain emissions tracking. Most of their carbon footprint comes from suppliers and value chain emissions, with Scope 3 emissions accounting for 75% of total emissions under the GHG Protocol, with "Purchased Goods and Services" being the largest emissions source at 44% of Scope 3 emissions.
Climate goals typically focus on 2030 interim targets and 2050 net-zero commitments, aligned with global frameworks like the Paris Agreement and Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) to ensure alignment with global climate goals.
Japan Display has not publicly committed to specific 2030 or 2050 climate goals through the major frameworks we track. Companies often set interim 2030 targets and long-term 2050 net-zero goals to demonstrate measurable progress toward decarbonization.
