Let us know if this data was useful to you
SHOWA Corporation, headquartered in Japan (JP), currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. The company is a merged entity and inherits its climate commitments and performance data from Hitachi Astemo, Ltd., which is at the first cascade level. As of now, SHOWA Corporation has not publicly disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives related to carbon emissions. The absence of documented emissions data and reduction commitments suggests that the company may still be in the process of establishing its climate strategy. Given the context of its corporate family relationship, any climate initiatives or targets would likely align with those of Hitachi Astemo, Ltd. However, without explicit data or commitments from SHOWA Corporation itself, it is challenging to provide a detailed overview of its carbon emissions and climate commitments.
