In 2022, Nissan Chemical reported total emissions of approximately 346.3 million kg CO2e, which includes Scope 2 emissions of about 115.9 million kg CO2e. The company has not disclosed specific Scope 1 or Scope 3 emissions data for this year. Looking back to 2021, Nissan Chemical's emissions totalled approximately 1.15 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 231.7 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 113.6 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions reaching about 803.5 million kg CO2e. This indicates a significant reliance on Scope 3 emissions, which typically encompass indirect emissions from the supply chain and product use. Nissan Chemical has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for enhanced climate commitments in line with industry standards. Overall, while Nissan Chemical has made strides in reporting its emissions, the lack of comprehensive data and reduction strategies highlights an opportunity for the company to strengthen its climate action framework.
