Renesas Technology Corp.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Renesas Electronics Corporation

Renesas Technology Corp., headquartered in Japan (JP), currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. The company is part of a merged entity with Renesas Electronics Corporation, which may influence its climate commitments and emissions reporting. As of now, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges directly attributed to Renesas Technology Corp. However, emissions data and climate initiatives may be inherited from its parent company, Renesas Electronics Corporation. This includes potential commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and participation in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), both of which are crucial for setting and achieving meaningful climate goals. Given the lack of specific emissions data and reduction targets, it is essential for Renesas Technology Corp. to establish clear climate commitments and track its carbon footprint effectively to align with industry standards and expectations.
