Nikon's reported carbon emissions

Nikon's commitment to climate action is demonstrated through ambitious reduction targets and transparent reporting of its carbon footprint. In the fiscal year 2024, the company reported a total of approximately 1.07 billion kg CO2e across Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of around 25 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (market-based) of approximately 51.9 million kg CO2e, and a significant portion from Scope 3 emissions, totalling about 991.7 million kg CO2e. The company has set a long-term goal to achieve carbon neutrality by the fiscal year ending March 2051. To support this, Nikon is pursuing Science Based Targets (SBT) in alignment with the latest international climate agreements. Specifically, Nikon has committed to reducing its absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 57% by FY2030, using FY2022 as a base year. Furthermore, a near-term target aims to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 25% within the same timeframe. Nikon is also working towards a net-zero target for the entire value chain by FY2050, which involves a 90% reduction in Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, with remaining emissions being neutralised. Nikon's reduction initiatives include the introduction of energy-saving production equipment and buildings, in-house energy-saving measures, improved business efficiency, the adoption of renewable energy sources, and the use of low-carbon vehicles. The company is also actively engaging with suppliers and making its products more energy-efficient to address Scope 3 emissions. For instance, in FY2024, Nikon reported achieving a 56.01% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions against its FY2030 target.
