Shimadzu

Shimadzu, a Japan-based machinery and equipment manufacturer, reported its 2025 Scope 1 emissions as approximately 2.9 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based) emissions as approximately 5.9 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions as about 2.6 billion kg CO2e. Key Scope 3 categories included use of sold products (approximately 1.5 billion kg CO2e) and purchased goods and services (approximately 955 million kg CO2e).

The company has set ambitious climate commitments. Shimadzu Corporation aims to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 85% by FY2030 from a FY2017 base year. Additionally, it commits to reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from the use of sold products by 30% by FY2030 from a FY2020 base year. These near-term targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) as consistent with limiting global warming to 1.5°C. Shimadzu also has a long-term goal to achieve net-zero CO2 emissions from its business activities by FY2050, with an interim target of at least a 90% reduction by FY2040 from FY2017 levels.
