Japan Securities Clearing Corporation's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Japan Exchange Group, Inc.

Japan Securities Clearing Corporation (JSCC), headquartered in Japan, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. However, JSCC is a current subsidiary of Japan Exchange Group, Inc., which may influence its climate commitments and performance metrics. As part of its corporate family, JSCC's climate initiatives and performance may be aligned with those of Japan Exchange Group, Inc. This parent organisation has reported emissions data and climate commitments through the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), which are cascaded down to JSCC. However, specific reduction targets or achievements for JSCC itself have not been disclosed. JSCC has not established any Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) reduction targets or documented specific climate pledges. The lack of detailed emissions data and reduction initiatives suggests that JSCC may still be in the early stages of developing its climate strategy.
