For 2023, the company reported a gross total GHG emissions intensity of about 783,000,000 kg CO2e and a net total GHG emissions intensity of approximately 724,000,000 kg CO2e, although specific emissions data for Scope 1, 2, and 3 were not disclosed for this year. Despite the significant emissions figures, Sumitomo Osaka Cement has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, indicating a potential area for improvement in their climate strategy. The company does not inherit emissions data from a parent organisation, and all reported figures are directly from Sumitomo Osaka Cement Co., Ltd. Overall, while the company has made strides in reporting its emissions, the absence of reduction targets suggests a need for a more robust commitment to climate action.
