In 2023, Lotte's carbon emissions in Japan totalled approximately 774,000,000 kg CO2e across all scopes. This includes about 26,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 70,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and a significant 774,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The Scope 3 emissions breakdown reveals major contributions from purchased goods and services (about 577,000,000 kg CO2e) and upstream transportation and distribution (approximately 62,000,000 kg CO2e). Lotte's total emissions for 2023, combining Scope 1 and Scope 2, reached about 96,000,000 kg CO2e. This data is cascaded from its parent company, Lotte Co., Ltd., reflecting the company's commitment to transparency in its environmental impact. Despite the substantial emissions figures, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives reported under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. Lotte's emissions data indicates a need for strategic planning to address its carbon footprint effectively.
