The Scope 3 emissions for that year were approximately 11,461,975 kg CO2e from upstream leased assets, with additional emissions from business travel and employee commuting. Despite these figures, LS Electric has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The company does not appear to inherit emissions data from a parent organisation, and all reported data is directly from LS Electric Co., Ltd. Overall, LS Electric's emissions profile highlights the significant impact of Scope 2 emissions, primarily from energy consumption, while also indicating areas for potential improvement in Scope 3 emissions management.
