Kajima

Kajima's reported carbon emissions

Kajima's climate commitments focus on significant emission reductions across Scopes 1, 2, and 3, aiming for carbon neutrality by 2050. The construction company, headquartered in Japan, has set an ambition to reduce its Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 42% by FY2030, using FY2021 as a base year. For Scope 3 emissions, specifically those from purchased goods and services and the use of sold products, Kajima commits to a 25% reduction by FY2030, also from the FY2021 baseline. In terms of absolute emissions, Kajima reported a total of approximately 13.98 billion kg CO2e in 2024. This figure comprises approximately 2.94 billion kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and approximately 1.55 billion kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. Scope 3 emissions were considerably higher, totalling approximately 140.92 billion kg CO2e in the same year. The previous year, 2023, saw total emissions of approximately 19.77 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 2.82 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 1.49 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at around 201.34 billion kg CO2e. In 2022, total emissions were approximately 20.73 billion kg CO2e, including Scope 1 at roughly 3.03 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 1.44 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at about 211.12 billion kg CO2e. For 2021, total emissions were approximately 13.83 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions around 245 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions at approximately 129 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions at about 13.45 billion kg CO2e. Kajima's climate targets, which are aligned with a 1.5°C pathway as verified by SBTi, include near-term objectives for FY2026. By this year, Kajima aims for a 23% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions and a 10% reduction in Scope 3 emissions, both relative to the FY2021 baseline. The company is also working towards carbon neutrality in all categories by 2050.
