Kyorin Pharmaceutical's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Kyorin Pharmaceutical reported total carbon emissions of approximately 41,812,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes emissions across all three scopes: Scope 1 emissions were about 12,895,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions totalled approximately 12,110,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions reached around 16,807,000 kg CO2e. Within Scope 3, significant contributors included purchased goods and services (approximately 6,233,000 kg CO2e) and capital goods (about 5,263,000 kg CO2e). Despite the substantial emissions figures, Kyorin Pharmaceutical has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of defined climate pledges or science-based targets suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate commitments. As the pharmaceutical industry increasingly prioritises sustainability, Kyorin's future strategies will be crucial in addressing climate change and reducing their overall environmental impact.
