Kuraray's reported carbon emissions

Kuraray, a chemicals company headquartered in Japan, is committed to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions. For 2024, the company reported Scope 1 and 2 emissions totalling approximately 2.87 billion kg CO2e, alongside Scope 3 emissions of approximately 3.06 billion kg CO2e. Kuraray has established several climate targets: * **Near-term Targets:** * Aims for a 30% reduction in Scope 1 emissions by 2030 compared to 2019 levels. * Aims for a 30% reduction in Scope 2 emissions by 2030 compared to 2019 levels. * Aims to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 63% by 2035 compared to 2021 levels. * **Long-term Targets:** * Targeting net zero carbon emissions by 2050. To support these goals, Kuraray plans to invest approximately 80 billion Japanese Yen in greenhouse gas emission reduction initiatives by 2030. Earlier historical targets included reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 10% of 1990 levels by 2010 for both Scope 1 and Scope 2. The company also noted an improvement of at least 1% in its GHG emission intensity index from the previous year for Scope 2 between 2018 and 2019.
