The trend shows a consistent reporting of emissions across all scopes, indicating a comprehensive approach to carbon accounting. Despite the detailed emissions reporting, Maruha has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. This lack of formal commitments may reflect a broader industry context where many companies are still developing their climate strategies. Overall, Maruha's emissions data highlights the importance of addressing Scope 3 emissions, which constitute the majority of their carbon footprint, while also signalling the need for clearer climate commitments moving forward.
