This marked a significant reduction from previous years, as their total emissions in 2017 were approximately 125,414,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 44,411,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at approximately 74,759,000 kg CO2e. Despite these reductions, JST has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. The company has disclosed emissions data for Scopes 1 and 2, but there is no information available regarding Scope 3 emissions or any science-based targets aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Overall, JST's emissions trajectory shows a positive trend towards lower carbon output, but further commitments and transparency regarding future climate strategies would enhance their sustainability profile.
