Other Scope 3 categories included capital goods (about 1,735,000 kg CO2e), business travel (approximately 149,000 kg CO2e), employee commuting (around 2,066,000 kg CO2e), upstream leased assets (about 1,071,000 kg CO2e), waste generated in operations (approximately 259,000 kg CO2e), fuel and energy related activities (around 598,000 kg CO2e), and end-of-life treatment of sold products (about 363,000 kg CO2e).

Roland Corporation has set near-term Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) approved targets. The company commits to reduce absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 42% by FY2030, using FY2022 as a baseline year. Additionally, Roland Corporation aims to reduce absolute Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions from purchased goods and services, upstream transportation and distribution, use of sold products, and end-of-life treatment of sold products by 25% within the same timeframe, also from a FY2022 baseline. These targets are considered consistent with reductions required to keep warming to 1.5°C.
