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 represents a notable 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 reaching around 564,000,000 kg CO2e. The company also disclosed Scope 3 emissions, which amounted to approximately 2,215,000,000 kg CO2e, indicating a significant impact from upstream activities, particularly from purchased goods and services. Despite the substantial emissions figures, Nok has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments. The company does not inherit emissions data from a parent organization, and its climate strategy appears to be independently developed without cascading targets from corporate family relationships. Overall, while Nok's emissions have increased, the absence of defined reduction targets highlights an area for potential improvement in their climate strategy.
