Persol's reported carbon emissions

In 2024, Persol reported total carbon emissions of approximately 503.5 million kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 21.1 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 6.4 million kg CO2e (market-based), and significant Scope 3 emissions of around 503.5 million kg CO2e. The Scope 3 emissions encompass various categories, with notable contributions from purchased goods and services, which alone accounted for approximately 400.2 million kg CO2e. In 2023, Persol's total emissions were approximately 216.3 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 18.6 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 6.6 million kg CO2e (market-based), and Scope 3 emissions reaching around 216.3 million kg CO2e. The company has shown a commitment to transparency in its emissions reporting, disclosing data across all three scopes. Despite the detailed emissions data, Persol has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments. The company does not currently participate in the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or have documented reduction targets. This lack of formal commitments may reflect broader industry trends where many organisations are still developing comprehensive climate strategies. Persol's emissions data is sourced directly from its own reporting, with no cascaded data from parent or related organisations. The company is headquartered in Japan and continues to focus on improving its sustainability practices in line with global climate expectations.
