Nippon Paper Industries's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Nippon Paper Industries reported total carbon emissions of approximately 6,000,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 6,800,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 6,133,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3, amounting to a total of about 19,933,000,000 kg CO2e. This reflects their ongoing commitment to monitoring and managing their carbon footprint across all scopes of emissions. Historically, the company has shown a trend of emissions reduction, particularly from 2010 to 2023, where they have made significant strides in reducing their Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. However, specific reduction targets or initiatives have not been disclosed, indicating a potential area for improvement in their climate strategy. Nippon Paper Industries has not publicly committed to any science-based targets or specific climate pledges, which may limit their accountability in the face of global climate goals. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while they are aware of their emissions, a structured approach to achieving significant reductions may still be in development. Overall, while Nippon Paper Industries has made progress in emissions reporting, the lack of formal reduction commitments highlights an opportunity for the company to enhance its climate action strategy in alignment with industry standards.
