Makita's reported carbon emissions
In 2024, Makita Corporation reported total carbon emissions of approximately 399,000,000 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across various scopes: 1,995,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 3,591,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and a significant 393,414,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3. The Scope 3 emissions include substantial contributions from the use of sold products (300,000,000 kg CO2e) and purchased goods and services (128,000,000 kg CO2e). In 2023, the company recorded total emissions of about 6,000,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 19,725,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at 37,346,000 kg CO2e. The Scope 3 emissions for that year were notably high at approximately 6,006,569,000 kg CO2e, indicating a heavy reliance on upstream and downstream activities. Despite the significant emissions figures, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives disclosed by Makita, including those aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company has not committed to any climate pledges or documented reduction targets, which may reflect a broader industry context where many organisations are still developing comprehensive climate strategies. Overall, Makita's emissions data highlights the challenges faced in reducing carbon footprints, particularly in Scope 3 emissions, which often represent the largest share of total emissions for manufacturing companies.
