Additionally, Scope 3 emissions were reported at approximately 1,878,962,000 kg CO2e, which encompasses various categories such as the use of sold products and purchased goods and services. Despite these figures, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives disclosed by Kansai Paint, indicating a potential area for improvement in their climate commitments. The absence of Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) reduction targets suggests that the company may need to enhance its climate strategy to align with industry standards and global climate goals.
