Japan Tobacco has set ambitious reduction targets. They aim to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 47% by 2030 from a 2019 base year, aligning with a 1.5°C reduction pathway. Additionally, they are committed to reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services by 28% within the same timeframe. The company also aims to achieve carbon neutrality for its own operations by 2030 and net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its entire value chain by 2050. These targets are validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Historically, between 2009 and 2017, Japan Tobacco achieved a 21.2% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions.
