In 2024, the company's Scope 3 emissions were approximately 3.395 billion kg CO2e, with combined Scope 1 and 2 emissions of approximately 1.044 billion kg CO2e. For 2023, Scope 3 emissions were about 3.677 billion kg CO2e and combined Scope 1 and 2 emissions were approximately 1.048 billion kg CO2e.

Looking at previous years where full scope data is available, Murata Manufacturing's total emissions in 2020 were approximately 5.609 billion kg CO2e, comprising approximately 278 million kg CO2e from Scope 1, approximately 1.157 billion kg CO2e from Scope 2, and about 4.174 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3. In 2018, total emissions were approximately 6.074 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 312 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 1.32 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at about 4.442 billion kg CO2e. The total emissions for 2017 were approximately 5.66 billion kg CO2e, including roughly 251 million kg CO2e from Scope 1, about 1.149 billion kg CO2e from Scope 2, and approximately 4.26 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3. In 2016, total emissions stood at approximately 3.587 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 142 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 1.016 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at roughly 2.429 billion kg CO2e.

Murata Manufacturing has established several climate commitments. The company aims to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 for both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. Near-term targets include a 20% reduction in combined Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by fiscal year 2024, against a fiscal year 2019 baseline. Furthermore, the company commits to a 46% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by fiscal year 2030 from a fiscal year 2019 base year, aligning with a 1.5°C target. Murata Manufacturing also commits to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 28% within the same 2019-2030 timeframe. These targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and are classified as consistent with reductions required to keep warming to 1.5°C.
