Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha

Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha (K Line), headquartered in Japan and operating in other land transportation services, reported total emissions of approximately 10.75 billion kg CO2e in 2026. Looking back, in 2025, emissions were around 10.91 billion kg CO2e. In 2024, the company's total emissions were comprised of approximately 6.92 billion kg CO2e from Scope 1, 5.58 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 (market-based), and 4.60 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3. This follows 2023 emissions of approximately 6.55 billion kg CO2e (Scope 1), 8.09 million kg CO2e (Scope 2 market-based), and 4.03 billion kg CO2e (Scope 3).

Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha is committed to reducing its environmental impact through several targets. The company aims to achieve net-zero GHG emissions by 2050, with an interim goal to halve GHG emissions (improve CO2 emission efficiency by 70%) over 2008 levels. For near-term targets, the company is striving to improve CO2 emissions efficiency by 50% for both Scope 1 and Scope 2 by 2030, using a 2008 baseline.

The company's Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) commitments, set in 2017, include reducing Scope 1 emissions from ocean-going ships by 25% per ton-mile by 2030, from a 2011 base-year. This is a milestone towards a long-term SBTi target of a 50% reduction in the same emissions by 2050 from a 2011 base year. These SBTi targets for Scope 1 and Scope 2 are classified as consistent with reductions required to keep warming to 2°C.
