The Japan Paper Association currently does not have available carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of specific figures in kg CO2e. Additionally, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges outlined in their initiatives. This suggests that the association may not have established formal commitments to reduce emissions or may not publicly disclose such information at this time. In the context of the paper industry, it is essential for organisations to engage in climate action, given the sector's significant environmental impact. While the Japan Paper Association has not provided specific data or targets, it is crucial for industry stakeholders to consider adopting science-based targets and participating in initiatives that promote sustainability and carbon reduction. As the industry evolves, it is expected that the Japan Paper Association will align with broader climate commitments and potentially disclose future emissions data and reduction strategies.
Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.
