Pioneer Corporation's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Pioneer Corporation reported no specific carbon emissions data. However, in 2016, the company disclosed total emissions of approximately 50 million kg CO2e, comprising 5 million kg CO2e from Scope 1, 33 million kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 2 million kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This data reflects their operational footprint in Japan. Pioneer Corporation has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or commitments to frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company has not publicly committed to any climate pledges, which may limit its accountability in addressing climate change. Overall, while Pioneer Corporation has provided some emissions data in the past, its current climate commitments and reduction strategies appear to be underdeveloped, necessitating further action to align with industry standards for sustainability and emissions reduction.
