Nissan

Nissan, a Japanese automotive manufacturer, reported a total of approximately 155 billion kg CO2e in emissions for 2024. This figure is comprised of approximately 442 million kg CO2e from Scope 1 (direct emissions), about 1.08 billion kg CO2e from Scope 2 (indirect emissions from purchased energy), and roughly 153.5 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3 (all other indirect emissions). Scope 3 emissions were dominated by the use of sold products, contributing approximately 125.1 billion kg CO2e, followed by purchased goods and services at about 23.4 billion kg CO2e.

In 2023, Nissan's total emissions were approximately 160.1 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 477 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 1.25 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at around 158.3 billion kg CO2e.

Nissan has established several climate commitments, including a long-term goal for carbon neutrality across its vehicle lifecycle and all business activities by 2050. The company also aims for an 80% reduction in CO2 emissions from its corporate activities by 2050 compared to 2005 levels, encompassing Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. Furthermore, Nissan has committed to reducing CO2 emissions from new vehicles by 90% by 2050 compared to 2000 levels.

More near-term targets include a commitment to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 30% by 2030, using a 2018 baseline year. This is aligned with keeping warming well-below 2°C. Nissan also targets a 32.5% reduction in Scope 3 GHG emissions from the use of sold products per vehicle kilometre over the same timeframe. Additionally, Nissan aims to achieve a 52% reduction in CO2 emissions from its global production sites by 2030 (per vehicle, compared to 2018 levels) and a 30% reduction in its Scope 2 emissions from a 2020 baseline by 2030.
