Omron's reported carbon emissions
OMRON Corporation, a Japanese electrical machinery and apparatus manufacturer, has reported a total of approximately 8.79 billion kg CO2e in emissions for the year 2024. This figure encompasses Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. Specifically, Scope 1 emissions amounted to about 4.17 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions were approximately 59.46 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalled around 8.73 billion kg CO2e. The company is committed to achieving "OMRON Carbon Zero" by 2050, aiming for zero Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. OMRON has set near-term targets, including a 65% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by FY2030 compared to a FY2016 baseline. Additionally, the company targets an 18% reduction in absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from the use of sold products by FY2030, also against a FY2016 baseline. These near-term targets are aligned with keeping global warming to 1.5°C, as validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Historically, OMRON reported approximately 7.59 billion kg CO2e in Scope 3 emissions for 2023, with purchased goods and services being a significant contributor. In 2019, the company reported total emissions of approximately 2.42 billion kg CO2e for Scope 3, with purchased goods and services, capital goods, and fuel and energy-related activities being the primary sources. For Scope 1 and 2 emissions, OMRON reported approximately 166 million kg CO2e in 2019, a decrease from approximately 235 million kg CO2e in 2018 and 271 million kg CO2e in 2017. OMRON's climate commitments are driven by its principle of contributing to a better society and are documented through various sustainability reports. The company's emissions data and reduction targets are sourced directly from OMRON Corporation, indicating no cascading from a parent organisation.
