Looking further back, in 2019, JSR Corporation disclosed Scope 1 emissions of 408,000,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of 564,000,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of 1,038,000,000 kg CO2e. Key Scope 3 categories included approximately 931,000,000 kg CO2e from purchased goods and services, 51,000,000 kg CO2e from capital goods, and 25,000,000 kg CO2e from waste generated in operations.

JSR Corporation has set several climate commitments. They aim to achieve "net zero" GHG emissions by 2050. As part of this, they have a near-term target to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 42% by FY2030 from a FY2023 base year. This target is consistent with reductions required to keep warming to 1.5°C, as validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Additionally, JSR Corporation commits that 85% of its suppliers by emissions covering purchased goods and services, capital goods, and upstream transportation and distribution will have science-based targets by FY2029.
