This long-term goal encompasses all scopes of emissions, reflecting the company's dedication to addressing climate change comprehensively. The company has not set specific near-term reduction targets or disclosed any Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) commitments. However, it is actively working towards its carbon neutrality goal, which aligns with global efforts to mitigate climate impacts. Overall, while Shikoku Electric Power has made significant commitments towards reducing its carbon footprint, the absence of recent emissions data and specific reduction targets raises questions about its current performance and accountability in climate action.
