Sharp

Sharp, a Japanese-headquartered company in the Household Appliances, Electric Housewares, and Consumer Electronics Merchant Wholesalers industry, reported total emissions of approximately 23.35 billion kg CO2e in 2024. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of 260 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of 560 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 22.53 billion kg CO2e. Key contributors to Scope 3 emissions include the use of sold products (approximately 19.34 billion kg CO2e) and purchased goods and services (approximately 1.88 billion kg CO2e).

Looking back, in 2023, Sharp reported Scope 1 emissions of approximately 1.18 billion kg CO2e. In 2022 and 2021, Scope 1 emissions were about 1.13 billion kg CO2e and 1.37 billion kg CO2e respectively. In 2020, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 951 million kg CO2e, while in 2019, Scope 1 emissions from stationary combustion were around 880 million kg CO2e, with a Scope 1 and 2 total of 974 million kg CO2e. For 2018, Scope 1 emissions from stationary combustion were about 984 million kg CO2e, and combined Scope 1 and 2 emissions totalled approximately 1.08 billion kg CO2e. In 2017, the company reported Scope 1 and 2 emissions of about 940 million kg CO2e.

Further back, in 2016, Sharp's total emissions reached approximately 28.81 billion kg CO2e, comprising Scope 1 emissions of 149 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of 867 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 27.80 billion kg CO2e. In 2015, total emissions were around 28.74 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 153 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 954 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at approximately 27.63 billion kg CO2e.

Sharp has established several climate commitments and reduction targets. The company aims to achieve net-zero CO2 emissions from its business activities by 2050, with interim reduction targets of a 40% reduction by 2030 and a 60% reduction by 2035, both against a fiscal year 2021 baseline. The company also aims for a 60% reduction in overall CO2 emissions by 2035 from a 2021 baseline.

Sharp has engaged with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), setting near-term targets. As of June 2026, Sharp Corporation committed to reducing absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 85.0% by fiscal year 2031 from a fiscal year 2021 base year. Additionally, they committed to reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 27.5% within the same timeframe. Earlier SBTi commitments from April 2024 indicated a 42.5% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by fiscal year 2030 from a fiscal year 2021 base year, and a 25.0% reduction in absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions within the same timeframe. An older SBTi commitment from January 2020 aimed to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 33% by 2031 from a 2018 base year, and absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from the use of sold products by 33% by 2031 from a 2018 base year. These targets indicate Sharp's commitment to aligning its emissions reductions with scientific recommendations to limit global warming.
