KDDI's Carbon Emissions and Climate Commitments

In the fiscal year 2025, KDDI, a leading telecommunications services provider in Japan, reported a total of approximately 6.03 billion kg CO2e in emissions. This figure comprises Scope 1 emissions totalling about 5.35 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 632.62 million kg CO2e, and a substantial Scope 3 contribution of around 5.39 billion kg CO2e. The majority of KDDI's Scope 3 emissions stem from purchased goods and services (approximately 3.19 billion kg CO2e) and capital goods (approximately 1.58 billion kg CO2e).

KDDI has established ambitious climate targets to align with global efforts to mitigate climate change. The company aims for net-zero CO2 emissions from its business activities by fiscal year 2030. Furthermore, KDDI is committed to significant absolute reductions: a 50% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by FY2030, against a FY2019 baseline. The company also targets a 28% reduction in absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions within the same timeframe. Looking further ahead, KDDI aims to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its entire value chain by FY2040, with a corresponding commitment to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 95% and Scope 3 GHG emissions by 90% by FY2040, also from a FY2019 baseline. These targets are recognised by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) as being consistent with limiting warming to 1.5°C.
