Kagome

Kagome, a Japanese food products company, has reported its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for several years. In 2023, the company reported total GHG emissions of approximately 1.095 billion kg CO2e. This included Scope 1 emissions of about 90.6 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 32.9 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalling about 1 million kg CO2e.

Kagome has established climate commitments aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company commits to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 42% by 2030, using a 2020 baseline year. Additionally, Kagome aims to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 13% over the same timeframe. Further commitments include a target to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by over 42% by fiscal year 2030 and an updated SBTi commitment for Scope 1 GHG emissions of a 43.1% reduction by 2030 from a 2020 baseline, and Scope 2 GHG emissions of a 43.1% reduction by 2030 from a 2020 baseline. A broader SBTi commitment also indicates a target to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 25% within the same timeframe as Scope 1 and 2 reductions, and a commitment to no deforestation across its primary deforestation-linked commodities by December 31, 2025.
