Pioneer has consistently reported emissions data, with total emissions in Japan remaining stable at around 35,000,000 kg CO2e from 2011 to 2012. However, there has been a notable increase in emissions to approximately 43,000,000 kg CO2e in 2013 and 40,000,000 kg CO2e in 2014. Despite these figures, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives disclosed by Pioneer Corporation, including any commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. This lack of defined reduction strategies highlights an area for potential improvement in their climate commitments.
