Shimizu

Shimizu, a Japanese construction company, has set several climate commitments. In 2023, Shimizu reported Scope 1 emissions of 325,340,000 kg CO2e and Scope 3 emissions of 9,451,379,000 kg CO2e. Data for Scope 2 emissions for 2023 was not disclosed. For 2022, Shimizu disclosed Scope 1 emissions of 197,887,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (market-based) of 35,725,000 kg CO2e, and various Scope 3 emissions, including 1,497,319,000 kg CO2e from purchased goods and services and 3,753,163,000 kg CO2e from the use of sold products.

Shimizu has Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) validated targets. For near-term, by FY2034, Shimizu commits to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 58.8% from a FY2023 base year. They also commit to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services and use of sold products by 35.0% within the same timeframe. For long-term, Shimizu commits to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across the value chain by FY2050, including a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions and a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services and use of sold products by FY2050, all from a FY2023 base year. Previously, Shimizu had SBTi targets to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 33% by 2030 and absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 20% by 2030 from a 2017 base year.

Additionally, Shimizu aims to cut carbon dioxide emissions from its new head office building by 50% from fiscal 1990 levels and achieve zero-carbon status by 2020. The company also supports Japan's long-term target of an 80% reduction in emissions by 2050 from a 1990 baseline.
