Maruchan's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Toyo Suisan Kaisha, Ltd.

Maruchan, headquartered in the US, currently does not provide specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of reported figures. The company is a current subsidiary of Maruchan, Incorporated, which inherits emissions data from its parent company, Toyo Suisan Kaisha, Ltd. However, no specific emissions figures or reduction targets have been disclosed. In terms of climate commitments, Maruchan has not outlined any specific reduction initiatives or targets, such as those set by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The lack of publicly available data on emissions and reduction strategies suggests that Maruchan may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate action plans. As a part of the broader industry context, many companies are increasingly focusing on sustainability and carbon reduction, but without specific commitments or data, it is challenging to assess Maruchan's position in this regard.
