Rengo

Rengo, a Japanese company in the Other Paperboard Container Manufacturing industry, has reported significant carbon emissions and established climate commitments.

For the reporting year 2025, Rengo reported total global emissions of approximately 5.91 billion kg CO2e. This comprised 1.18 billion kg CO2e for Scope 1, 449 million kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 4.29 billion kg CO2e for Scope 3. The largest contributor within Scope 3 was purchased goods and services, accounting for approximately 2.87 billion kg CO2e.

In 2024, Rengo's total global emissions were approximately 5.45 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 1.13 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 403 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 3.91 billion kg CO2e.

Looking back, Rengo reported total global emissions of 1.90 billion kg CO2e for 2019, including 663 million kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 169 million kg CO2e for Scope 2. Scope 3 emissions for 2019 were approximately 1.07 billion kg CO2e. In 2018, total global emissions were approximately 1.86 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 674 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 at 176 million kg CO2e.

Rengo has set ambitious climate targets. They commit to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 42% by FY2030, using FY2021 as the base year. Furthermore, Rengo is committed to reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 25% within the same timeframe. These Scope 3 reductions specifically target purchased goods and services, fuel and energy-related activities, upstream transportation and distribution, and waste generated in operations. These targets are aligned with a 1.5°C warming pathway, as verified by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Additionally, Rengo has previously set a medium-term target to reduce CO2 emissions by 26% compared to FY2013 by FY2030.
