Maruha's reported carbon emissions

In 2024, Maruha Nichiro Corporation reported total carbon emissions of approximately 224,940,000 kg CO2e. This figure represents a slight decrease from the previous year, 2023, when emissions were about 233,017,000 kg CO2e. The company has disclosed emissions data for Scope 1, 2, and 3 for 2022, with total emissions amounting to approximately 5,800,000,000 kg CO2e, which includes 91,087,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 146,058,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2. Despite the significant emissions figures, Maruha has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The company does not currently participate in the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and has no documented reduction targets. Emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organization, indicating that the figures are solely from Maruha Nichiro Corporation. Overall, while Maruha Nichiro has made strides in reporting its emissions, the absence of defined reduction targets highlights an area for potential improvement in their climate strategy.
