Despite these reductions, McDonald's Holdings Company (Japan) has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data, nor have they set specific reduction targets through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of formal reduction targets indicates a potential area for future commitment in their climate strategy. Overall, while McDonald's Holdings Company (Japan) has made strides in reducing its carbon footprint, particularly in Scope 2 emissions, the lack of comprehensive Scope 3 data and formal reduction targets suggests that further efforts are needed to enhance their climate commitments.
