Renesas Electronics

Renesas Electronics, a company in the Electrical machinery and apparatus n.e.c. industry based in Japan, reported a total of approximately 2.24 billion kg CO2e for the year 2024. This figure encompasses Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. Specifically, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 125.39 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions stood at about 642.55 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions accounted for roughly 1.47 billion kg CO2e. For 2023, total emissions were approximately 2.5 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 156.4 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 647.66 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at around 1.43 billion kg CO2e.

Renesas Electronics has established significant climate commitments. The company aims to achieve carbon neutrality for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2040. As an interim target, they are committed to a 38% reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from business activities (Scope 1 and 2) by 2030, using 2021 as the base year. This target is aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) for a 1.5°C warming scenario. Furthermore, Renesas Electronics is committed to ensuring that 70% of its suppliers, by emissions covering purchased goods and services, have set their own emission reduction targets by 2026.

While detailed emissions data for years prior to 2023 is less comprehensive in the provided information, there is evidence of emissions reporting for Scope 1 and Scope 2 for 2019, 2018, and 2017, with total figures in the range of 1.04 to 1.3 billion kg CO2e for those years. Data for the years 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, and 2008 was not disclosed. Renesas Electronics has also reported on specific production emission factors, such as PFC gas emissions per unit of wafer area, with values like 120.5 pt in 2024 and 128.1 pt in 2022.
