Nissui's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Nissui reported total carbon emissions of approximately 339,304,000 kg CO2e, comprising 213,356,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 127,227,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2. This marks a slight increase in emissions compared to previous years, reflecting ongoing challenges in reducing carbon output. In 2022, Nissui's emissions were about 318,934,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 197,713,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at 121,354,000 kg CO2e. The company has consistently disclosed emissions data for both Scope 1 and Scope 2, but there is no available data for Scope 3 emissions in 2023. Nissui has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other formal climate pledges. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for enhanced commitment to climate action within the seafood and food processing industry, where emissions reduction is critical for sustainability. Overall, while Nissui has made strides in transparency regarding its emissions, the lack of defined reduction strategies may hinder its ability to effectively address climate change challenges moving forward.
