Nok's reported carbon emissions
In 2024, Nok's carbon emissions in Japan totalled approximately 13,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 114,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2 (market-based). The combined total for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions reached around 127,000,000 kg CO2e. This reflects a slight increase from 2023, where emissions were about 8,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and approximately 134,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, leading to a total of around 142,000,000 kg CO2e. Globally, Nok reported Scope 1 emissions of about 44,000,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of approximately 520,000,000 kg CO2e in 2024, with total Scope 1 and 2 emissions around 564,000,000 kg CO2e. The company also disclosed significant Scope 3 emissions, amounting to approximately 2,215,000,000 kg CO2e, indicating a substantial upstream impact primarily from purchased goods and services. Nok has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of SBTi or other documented reduction commitments. The company’s emissions data is not cascaded from a parent organization, and all figures are reported directly from Nok Corporation. Overall, while Nok has made strides in transparency regarding its emissions, the lack of defined reduction targets suggests an opportunity for further commitment to climate action.
