Over the years, Subaru's emissions have shown fluctuations, with total emissions recorded at about 29,250,000,000 kg CO2e in 2018 and peaking at approximately 31,121,000,000 kg CO2e in 2023. The company has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges, indicating a potential area for improvement in their climate commitments. Subaru's emissions data reflects a comprehensive approach to tracking their carbon footprint, including detailed reporting across all three scopes of emissions. However, the absence of defined reduction targets suggests that while they are monitoring their emissions, they may need to establish clearer goals to enhance their climate strategy and align with global sustainability efforts.
