Olympus's reported carbon emissions

In 2024, Olympus Corporation reported total greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 830,202,000 kg CO2e. This includes Scope 1 emissions of about 27,255,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 15,125 kg CO2e (market-based) and 55,175,000 kg CO2e (location-based), and significant Scope 3 emissions of around 787,822,000 kg CO2e. The Scope 3 emissions breakdown includes capital goods (about 108,721,000 kg CO2e), business travel (approximately 28,410,000 kg CO2e), and purchased goods and services (around 528,598,000 kg CO2e). Olympus has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming for a 70% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions by FY2031 from a FY2020 baseline. Additionally, the company has pledged that 80% of its suppliers, based on emissions from purchased goods and services, capital goods, and upstream transportation and distribution, will have science-based targets by FY2028. Long-term, Olympus aims for a 90% reduction in absolute emissions across all scopes (1, 2, and 3) by FY2040. These targets are aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and reflect Olympus's commitment to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by FY2040. The company’s emissions data and targets are sourced directly from Olympus Corporation, with no data cascaded from a parent or related organization.
