Kureha Corporation's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, Kureha Corporation reported total carbon emissions of approximately 442,000,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 355,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which are direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, and 38,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, representing indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, steam, heating, and cooling. Additionally, Scope 3 emissions, which encompass all other indirect emissions in the value chain, amounted to about 490,000,000 kg CO2e. Comparatively, in 2019, Kureha's total emissions were approximately 393,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 356,000,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 31,000,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at about 6,000,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a significant increase in total emissions over the three-year period. Kureha Corporation has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives, such as those aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company does not appear to have cascaded emissions data from a parent or related organization, indicating that all reported figures are derived directly from Kureha Corporation's own disclosures. Overall, while Kureha Corporation has made strides in reporting its emissions, the absence of defined reduction targets suggests a need for further commitment to climate action within the industry context.
