Nsk's reported carbon emissions
As of the latest available data from 2021, Nsk's total carbon emissions amounted to approximately 2,199,000,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes emissions from all three scopes: Scope 1 emissions were about 127,000,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions totalled approximately 636,000,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions reached around 2,199,000,000 kg CO2e. Over the years, Nsk has shown fluctuations in its emissions. For instance, in 2014, total emissions were about 3,000,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 and 2 emissions combined at approximately 1,881,000,000 kg CO2e. By 2020, total emissions had decreased to about 1,920,000,000 kg CO2e, indicating a trend towards reduction. Despite these figures, there are currently no specific reduction targets or commitments disclosed by Nsk, such as those aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of documented reduction initiatives suggests that while Nsk is aware of its emissions, it has not yet formalised a comprehensive strategy for significant reductions or climate pledges. Overall, Nsk's emissions data reflects a complex landscape of carbon output, with a need for clearer commitments to address climate change effectively.
