Climate Commitments and Targets:
Kajima has set science-based targets for emissions reduction:
-
Near-term Targets (from a FY2021 base year):
- A 23% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by FY2026.
- A 42% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by FY2030.
- A 10% reduction in Scope 3 emissions by FY2026.
- A 25% reduction in Scope 3 emissions by FY2030.
-
Long-term Targets:
- Carbon neutrality for Scopes 1 and 2 by 2050.
- Carbon neutrality across all Scope 3 categories by 2050.
These targets, validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), align with a 1.5°C warming pathway.
