Kurita, a company in the health and social work services sector (85) based in Japan, has outlined significant carbon emission reduction targets. The company is committed to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by the fiscal year 2050, with its fiscal year 2020 designated as the base year. In terms of emissions data, for the fiscal year ending March 2025, Kurita reported Scope 1 emissions of approximately 1,900,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of 0 kg CO2e. For the fiscal year ending March 2024, their Scope 1 emissions were around 1,600,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions were approximately 3,000,000 kg CO2e. In the fiscal year ending March 2023, Scope 1 emissions were reported at about 2,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 2 emissions at approximately 5,000,000 kg CO2e. For the fiscal year ending March 2022, Scope 1 emissions were around 2,000,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions were approximately 7,000,000 kg CO2e. In the fiscal year ending March 2021, Kurita reported total emissions of approximately 2,467,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 8,000,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 23,000,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at roughly 2,436,000,000 kg CO2e. For the fiscal year ending March 2020, total emissions were approximately 2,604,000,000 kg CO2e, comprising Scope 1 of about 9,000,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 of approximately 26,000,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 of roughly 2,569,000,000 kg CO2e. Kurita has established several key reduction targets: * A near-term goal to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 80% by the fiscal year 2030, compared to a fiscal year 2019 base year. * A near-term goal to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 30% by the fiscal year 2030, compared to a fiscal year 2019 base year. This reduction specifically targets purchased goods and services, use of sold products, and downstream leased assets. * A long-term commitment to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90% by the fiscal year 2050, from a fiscal year 2019 base year. * A long-term commitment to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 90% by the fiscal year 2050, from a fiscal year 2019 base year. These targets, particularly for Scope 1 and 2 emissions, are aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative's (SBTi) 1.5°C pathway. The company's net-zero commitment explicitly includes land-related emissions and removals from bioenergy feedstocks.
