In 2021, Kurimoto, headquartered in Japan, reported CO2 emissions of approximately 1,890 kg CO2e per tonne produced in its iron-pipe manufacturing facilities. This figure reflects a slight decrease from 2020, where emissions were about 1,910 kg CO2e per tonne. Over the past few years, emissions have fluctuated, with 2019 reporting approximately 1,860 kg CO2e per tonne and 2018 at about 1,850 kg CO2e per tonne. The highest recorded emissions in this period were in 2017, at approximately 1,970 kg CO2e per tonne. Currently, Kurimoto has not disclosed specific targets for emissions reductions or any commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). There are no reported initiatives or pledges related to climate action, indicating a potential area for future development in their sustainability strategy. The emissions data provided does not include Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions, suggesting that Kurimoto may need to enhance its reporting practices to align with industry standards. Overall, while Kurimoto has shown some progress in reducing emissions intensity in its production processes, the absence of formal reduction targets or commitments highlights an opportunity for the company to strengthen its climate commitments moving forward.
Climate goals typically focus on 2030 interim targets and 2050 net-zero commitments, aligned with global frameworks like the Paris Agreement and Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) to ensure alignment with global climate goals.
Kurimoto has not publicly committed to specific 2030 or 2050 climate goals through the major frameworks we track. Companies often set interim 2030 targets and long-term 2050 net-zero goals to demonstrate measurable progress toward decarbonization.
