Pigeon Corporation, a Japanese company in the Chemicals nec industry, reported Scope 1 and 2 emissions of approximately 9.96 million kg CO2e in 2024. This comprised about 3.33 million kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 6.63 million kg CO2e from Scope 2.

In 2023, the company's total reported emissions were approximately 232.1 million kg CO2e. This included roughly 2.90 million kg CO2e from Scope 1, 8.49 million kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 220.73 million kg CO2e from Scope 3. Key contributors to Scope 3 emissions in 2023 were purchased goods and services (approximately 157.67 million kg CO2e), capital goods (about 19.55 million kg CO2e), and end-of-life treatment of sold products (roughly 12.67 million kg CO2e).

Pigeon Corporation has set ambitious climate commitments. The company aims to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 70% by fiscal year 2030, using a fiscal year 2018 baseline. Additionally, it plans to achieve net-zero Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2050. For Scope 3 emissions, specifically from purchased goods and services and end-of-life treatment of sold products, Pigeon Corporation commits to a 25% reduction by fiscal year 2030, with a fiscal year 2021 base year. These targets are consistent with reductions required to limit global warming to 1.5°C, as validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company also aims for over 50% of its packaging materials to be plant-derived or recycled by 2030 to reduce virgin petroleum-derived plastic usage.
