Suntory

Suntory's climate commitments are underpinned by a goal to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its entire value chain by 2050. The company has set a near-term target to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 50% by 2030, using a 2019 base year. Furthermore, Suntory aims to reduce its absolute scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions by 30% within the same timeframe. These targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

In terms of emissions data, for the reporting year 2024, Suntory reported a total of approximately 6.04 billion kg CO2e. This breaks down into approximately 240 million kg CO2e for Scope 1 emissions, approximately 144 million kg CO2e for Scope 2 emissions, and approximately 5.76 billion kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions. Scope 3 emissions are further detailed, with purchased goods and services accounting for the largest portion at approximately 3.66 billion kg CO2e.

For the beverages industry, Suntory has also committed to ambitious reduction goals. Notably, the company has an ambition to produce barley with 50% lower GHG emissions within five years, by 2028.

Suntory's emissions data is cascaded from its corporate parent, Suntory Beverage & Food Limited. This means that the reported emissions and targets are inherited from the parent company's overall sustainability reporting.
