Mitsubishi Electric

Mitsubishi Electric, headquartered in Japan and operating in the other miscellaneous electrical equipment and components industry, has disclosed its carbon emissions and climate commitments.

In 2025, Mitsubishi Electric's total Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions are projected to be approximately 165.0 billion kg CO2e. This includes Scope 1 emissions of 216 million kg CO2e, market-based Scope 2 emissions of 520 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 164.3 billion kg CO2e. Key contributors to Scope 3 emissions include the use of sold products (about 144.4 billion kg CO2e) and purchased goods and services (about 14.3 billion kg CO2e).

Looking back, in 2024, the company reported total Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions of approximately 181.2 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 234 million kg CO2e, market-based Scope 2 emissions at 676 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions at approximately 180.3 billion kg CO2e. In 2023, the total emissions were about 183.4 billion kg CO2e, comprising Scope 1 emissions of 272 million kg CO2e, market-based Scope 2 emissions of 679 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 182.4 billion kg CO2e.

Mitsubishi Electric has set ambitious climate targets. The company aims for net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its entire value chain by 2050. More immediate goals include reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 42% by fiscal year 2031, using a fiscal year 2022 base year. This target is consistent with reductions required to keep global warming to 1.5°C, as validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Additionally, Mitsubishi Electric commits to reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 30% by fiscal year 2031, against a fiscal year 2019 base year, also validated by SBTi.

Previous near-term targets, also approved by SBTi, aimed to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 18% by 2030 from a 2016 base year, and Scope 3 GHG emissions by 15% by 2030 from a 2018 base year. The company also states a target of achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions from factories and offices by fiscal year 2031.
