Kintetsu World Express

Kintetsu World Express, Inc. (KWE), headquartered in Japan and operating in other land transportation services, has established ambitious climate commitments. For the reporting year 2024, KWE reported approximately 1.9 billion kg CO2e in total emissions. This figure is comprised of approximately 9.86 million kg CO2e for Scope 1 emissions and approximately 51.86 million kg CO2e for Scope 2 emissions. The vast majority of their reported emissions stem from Scope 3, amounting to approximately 1.85 billion kg CO2e, with upstream transportation and distribution being the most significant category within Scope 3.

In terms of reduction targets, KWE is committed to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by fiscal year 2050. Near-term targets include a commitment to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 42% by FY2030, with a FY2023 base year. They also aim to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 25% within the same timeframe. Looking further ahead, KWE has set a long-term target to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90% by FY2050 from their FY2023 baseline. Similarly, their long-term Scope 3 emissions reduction target is also 90% by FY2050.

KWE's climate commitments are cascaded from its ultimate parent organisation. These targets are recognised by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
