Kowa's reported carbon emissions
Kowa, headquartered in Japan, currently does not report any specific carbon emissions data, as there are no available figures for kg CO2e emissions. Additionally, the company has not established any documented reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. As a result, Kowa's climate commitments and initiatives remain unclear, and there is no inherited emissions data from a parent or related organization. The absence of reported emissions and reduction strategies highlights a potential area for improvement in Kowa's environmental accountability and transparency.
