This reflects a notable increase in Scope 3 emissions compared to previous years, indicating a growing impact from upstream activities. In 2022, the company recorded total emissions of about 7289000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 318000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 6971000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 246765000 kg CO2e. The data shows a trend of fluctuating emissions across the different scopes, with Scope 1 and 2 emissions remaining relatively stable while Scope 3 emissions have varied significantly. For 2021, Socionext's emissions were approximately 18473000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 7875000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 2522000 kg CO2e for Scope 3. The 2020 figures were 20011000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 8020000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 2309000 kg CO2e for Scope 3. Despite these emissions figures, Socionext has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented reduction strategies suggests a need for enhanced climate commitments in line with industry standards. As the company continues to navigate its environmental impact, a focus on establishing measurable reduction goals could be beneficial for aligning with global climate action efforts.
