Mitsubishi's reported carbon emissions

In 2016, Mitsubishi's total carbon emissions amounted to approximately 32.97 million tonnes CO2e. This figure includes emissions across all scopes: Scope 1 emissions were about 104 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions totalled approximately 271 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions reached around 32.59 million tonnes CO2e. Notably, the Scope 3 emissions breakdown reveals significant contributions from the use of sold products (approximately 25.62 million tonnes CO2e) and purchased goods and services (about 5.39 million tonnes CO2e). Despite the substantial emissions figures, Mitsubishi has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented reduction commitments suggests a need for enhanced transparency and accountability in their climate strategy. As the automotive industry increasingly prioritises sustainability, Mitsubishi's future climate commitments will be crucial in aligning with global climate goals and addressing the pressing issue of climate change.
