Kawasaki's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, Kawasaki reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,050,000,000 kg CO2e, comprising 400,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 350,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and about 32,260,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This marked a significant increase in emissions compared to previous years, with Scope 1 emissions rising from 134,855,000 kg CO2e in 2021 and Scope 2 emissions increasing from 267,171,000 kg CO2e in the same year. Kawasaki's emissions profile indicates a heavy reliance on Scope 3 emissions, which accounted for the majority of their total emissions, primarily driven by the use of sold products and purchased goods and services. In 2021, Scope 3 emissions were reported at approximately 24,664,000,000 kg CO2e, highlighting a trend of increasing emissions over the years. Despite the rising emissions, there are no specific reduction targets or climate pledges documented for Kawasaki, indicating a potential area for improvement in their climate commitments. The company operates within a global context where many industries are setting ambitious targets to reduce carbon footprints, and Kawasaki may need to align with these standards to enhance its sustainability efforts.
