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.
