Nissan

Nissan, headquartered in Japan and operating in the motor vehicles, trailers, and semi-trailers industry, has demonstrated a commitment to reducing its carbon emissions.

For the year 2025, Nissan reported Scope 1 emissions of approximately 442 million kg CO2e. In 2024, Scope 1 emissions were around 477 million kg CO2e. For 2023, the company's Scope 1 emissions were approximately 585 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions were around 1.187 billion kg CO2e. This indicates a general downward trend in Scope 1 emissions from 2023 to 2025.

Historically, Nissan has disclosed more comprehensive emissions data. In 2018, the company reported total emissions of approximately 267.488 billion kg CO2e, comprising Scope 1 emissions of around 725 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of about 1.688 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 265.075 billion kg CO2e. In 2017, total emissions were reported as approximately 216.907 billion kg CO2e, including Scope 1 emissions of about 912.476 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of around 2.394 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of roughly 213.715 billion kg CO2e.

Nissan has set several climate commitments and targets. The company aims for carbon neutrality across its vehicle life cycle and all business activities by 2050. This net-zero target covers all scopes.

In terms of specific reduction targets, Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. has committed to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 30% by 2030, using a 2018 base year. Additionally, Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. commits to reducing Scope 3 GHG emissions from the use of sold products by 32.5% per vehicle kilometre over the same timeframe. These near-term targets are classified as consistent with reductions required to keep warming to well-below 2°C.

Nissan also aims for an 80% reduction in CO2 emissions from its corporate activities by 2050 compared with 2005 levels for both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. For manufacturing activities, the company aims to achieve a 52% reduction in CO2 emissions from its global production sites by 2030, accelerating efforts towards achieving the 1.5°C scenario (per vehicle, compared with 2018). Furthermore, Nissan aims to reduce CO2 emissions from new vehicles by 32.5% globally and 50% in four key regions by 2030, compared with 2018 levels.
