Obayashi Corporation, a construction work company headquartered in Japan, is committed to climate action and has established several emission reduction targets. **Carbon Emissions:** * **2024:** Total emissions were approximately 5.26 billion kg CO2e. This comprised about 246.7 million kg CO2e from Scope 1, approximately 24.5 million kg CO2e from Scope 2, and around 4.05 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3. * **2023:** Total emissions amounted to approximately 4.32 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 246.7 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 at around 24.5 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at approximately 4.05 billion kg CO2e. * **2022:** Total emissions were approximately 4.52 billion kg CO2e, including about 234.8 million kg CO2e for Scope 1, around 51.4 million kg CO2e for Scope 2, and roughly 4.23 billion kg CO2e for Scope 3. * **2021:** Total emissions were approximately 3.90 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 280.4 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 89.5 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at around 3.53 billion kg CO2e. * **2020:** Total emissions were approximately 4.74 billion kg CO2e, including about 221.2 million kg CO2e for Scope 1, around 108.7 million kg CO2e for Scope 2, and roughly 4.41 billion kg CO2e for Scope 3. * **2019:** Total emissions were approximately 5.29 billion kg CO2e. * **Earlier years:** Data for 2018, 2017, 2016, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, and 2009 show total emissions in ranges from approximately 300 million kg CO2e up to 334 million kg CO2e for the earlier years, and Scope 1 and 2 emissions for years between 2009 and 2013 in the range of 163 million kg CO2e to 217 million kg CO2e. Comprehensive Scope 3 data is not available for these earlier years. **Climate Commitments and Reduction Targets:** Obayashi Corporation has set ambitious targets for emissions reduction. * **Net Zero:** The company aims to achieve net zero emissions by **2050**. * **Science-Based Targets:** Obayashi Corporation has committed to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by **46.2% by FY2030** from a FY2019 base year. Additionally, they are committed to reducing absolute Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions from purchased goods and services and the use of sold products by **27.5%** within the same timeframe. These near-term targets are consistent with reductions required to keep warming to 1.5°C. * **Long-Term Vision:** Formulated within their long-term Obayashi Sustainability Vision 2050, the company targets an **85% reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by FY2051** compared to FY2014.
