Nichirei's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Nichirei reported total carbon emissions of approximately 3,485,000,000 kg CO2e globally, with emissions distributed across various scopes: 286,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 99,500,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and a significant 3,145,951,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3. This indicates a substantial reliance on indirect emissions, particularly from purchased goods and services. In the previous year, 2022, the company recorded total emissions of about 3,074,586,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 182,000,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at 98,900,000 kg CO2e. The Scope 3 emissions were notably high, contributing to the overall total. Despite the significant emissions figures, Nichirei has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for enhanced climate commitments within the industry context, particularly as global standards for sustainability and emissions reduction continue to evolve. Overall, Nichirei's emissions data highlights the challenges faced by the company in managing its carbon output, particularly in Scope 3, which encompasses a wide range of indirect emissions sources.
