In 2023, Mitsuba reported total carbon emissions of approximately 2,020,183,000 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across various scopes: 11,704,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 139,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and a significant 1,869,479,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3. This reflects a slight increase in total emissions compared to 2022, where emissions were about 1,952,686,000 kg CO2e. Mitsuba has disclosed emissions data for Scopes 1, 2, and 3 from 2020 to 2023, indicating a comprehensive approach to tracking their carbon footprint. In 2021, the company achieved total emissions of approximately 980,434,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 3 emissions accounting for a substantial portion at 826,962,000 kg CO2e. Despite the detailed emissions reporting, Mitsuba has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. This places them in a challenging position within the industry, where many companies are increasingly committing to science-based targets and sustainability initiatives. Overall, while Mitsuba provides transparency in its emissions reporting, the lack of defined reduction strategies may hinder its ability to effectively address climate change impacts in the long term.
