This marked a slight increase in Scope 3 emissions compared to 2021, where total emissions were about 3,127,893,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 345,500 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at 4,740,200 kg CO2e. Nintendo's emissions profile indicates a significant reliance on Scope 3 emissions, which encompass indirect emissions from the entire value chain, including purchased goods and services, use of sold products, and transportation. In 2021, Scope 3 emissions were approximately 3,227,899,000 kg CO2e, highlighting the company's substantial carbon footprint from upstream activities. Despite the detailed emissions reporting, there are currently no publicly disclosed reduction targets or climate pledges from Nintendo. The absence of specific initiatives or commitments suggests that while the company is tracking its emissions, it may not yet have formalised strategies for significant reductions in line with industry standards.
