Kewpie Corporation's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Kewpie Corporation, headquartered in Japan (JP), reported total carbon emissions of approximately 138,700,000 kg CO2e, comprising 53,600,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 85,200,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2. The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data for this year. Comparatively, in 2022, Kewpie's emissions were about 157,200,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 63,600,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at 93,600,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a reduction in total emissions from 2022 to 2023. Kewpie Corporation has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for further commitment to climate action within the industry context. Overall, Kewpie's emissions data reflects a significant operational footprint, and while there are reductions noted, the lack of comprehensive Scope 3 data and formal reduction commitments highlights an area for potential improvement in their sustainability strategy.
