Pentax Medical's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Pentax Medical reported total carbon emissions of approximately 866,000 kg CO2e, a slight decrease from about 886,000 kg CO2e in 2022. The emissions breakdown reveals that Scope 1 emissions accounted for about 52,000 kg CO2e, while Scope 2 emissions were approximately 29,000 kg CO2e. The majority of their emissions, about 785,000 kg CO2e, fell under Scope 3, indicating significant indirect emissions associated with their value chain. Despite the reduction in total emissions, Pentax Medical has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at further decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of formal climate pledges or Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) commitments suggests that while the company is monitoring its emissions, it may not yet have established a comprehensive strategy for long-term climate action.
