In 2023, Persol reported significant carbon emissions, with a total of approximately 216,302,000 kg CO2e attributed to Scope 3 emissions. This includes emissions from various categories such as purchased goods and services (about 144,987,000 kg CO2e), capital goods (approximately 30,682,000 kg CO2e), and employee commuting (around 11,091,000 kg CO2e). For the global operations in the same year, Persol's Scope 1 emissions were approximately 18,639,000 kg CO2e, while Scope 2 emissions totalled about 6,596,000 kg CO2e (market-based). The combined Scope 1 and 2 emissions amounted to approximately 25,235,000 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, there are currently no disclosed reduction targets or initiatives from Persol, including any commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of specific reduction goals highlights a potential area for improvement in their climate strategy. Overall, while Persol has made strides in measuring its carbon footprint, the lack of formal reduction commitments suggests that further action may be necessary to align with industry standards for climate responsibility.
